In a quiet, sunny quarter of St. Anton am Arlberg on Alte Arlbergstrasse 76, this family-friendly ski hotel sits about 800 metres from the main cable cars and lifts. Walkable to Rendlbahn Gondola, Galzigbahn and Gampenbahn, it’s close to the town centre, ski museum and St. Anton’s lively après-ski scene.

This family-run 4-star hideaway blends Alpine style with modern comforts. Rooms are Alpine-inspired and feature flat-screen cable TV, minibar and private bathrooms; the hotel was renovated and expanded in 2014. Expect a relaxed lobby with a traditional Jagdstube (hunting lounge), a sunbathing terrace and heated ski-boot storage for gear-ready mornings.

A large indoor pool anchors the modern spa, which also offers a sauna, salt-water steam bath, steam room/solarium, infrared cabin and a relaxation room with panoramic mountain views. There’s a small fitness area, massage treatments (extra charge), a private shuttle to the ski lifts and a sun terrace to catch the alpine light — perfect for wake-up-to-sunlit-mountain mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi and internet access throughout the property, plus parking and an elevator. Reception services include a safe-deposit box for added convenience.

Start with a rich breakfast buffet; half-board options include a varied dinner and salad buffet. After a day on the slopes enjoy afternoon snacks in the lobby, cocktails or long drinks at the bar, plus an à la carte Jagdstube and buffet restaurant for relaxed evenings.
