Modernist alpine hideaway
Mid-century modular sofas and preserved terrazzo columns frame wide-angle mountain views across communal lounges filled with modern art and vinyl.
“The richly textured rooms feature a mix of organic materials, from custom wallpapers and woollen throws to vintage chairs, leather bed benches and curved tactile headboards.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Emblematic of this new era is the Cōmodo, a mid-century hotel refurbished for a hip new generation of mountain travelers, taking its stylistic inspiration from Sixties modernism…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched above the historic spa town, the property sits along the Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade, ten minutes on foot from central Bad Gastein.
The rooms
Heated oak parquet floors and topographical wallpapers meet floor-to-ceiling windows, while suites feature vinyl turntables and freestanding soaking tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to 29 degrees, looking across the Gastein Valley through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The saunas and gym
Two saunas look out toward the mountains, beside a fitness room equipped with free weights and cardio machines.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant De Leit
Modern Austrian dishes highlight produce from local farms, served in a wood-panelled dining room or out on the terrace.
The combination of warm wood, soft light, and pops of bold color complements the carefully selected furniture and art pieces, proving that high-design spaces can feel as good.
The Lobby Bar
The fluted burgundy counter pours classic cocktails alongside small-batch Austrian wines and regional Winzersekt.
How it began
Originally an 1881 alpine lodge and later a mid-century health clinic, the building was revived by its architect-owners in 2023.
