Our luxury rooms and suites are the perfect place to relax as you enjoy four-star superior service from the moment you arrive. The ski lifts of the world-famous Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski resort are just a few steps from our front door. And at the end of a long day out and about in the mountains, there is no better place to unwind than in our spa & beauty area.
With its combination of traditional and modern elements, our hotel offers guests from around the world remarkable moments in a truly breathtaking landscape. Our hotel is perched at 1,930 metres above sea level at the end of the Ötztal Valley, next to the ski slopes.
