Best Luxury Hotels in Tyrol
This charming Alpine region boasts some truly stunning scenery. Here you can explore picture-postcard villages, magnificent snow-capped mountain ranges, huge lakes, rushing rivers, and verdant pastures – and in winter season it’s a skier’s paradise. Here are some of the finest places to stay when taking in the wonders of the Tyrol.
Tyrol, Seefeld in Tirol
Nidum Casual Luxury Hotel
A stay in this relatively new contemporary chalet hotel is sure to delight. Each of the 57 rooms boasts a south-facing balcony or terrace, espresso machine and minibar, while some suites offer saunas and freestanding tubs. Nidum has an outdoor infinity pool, a 1500 metre square rooftop spa with panoramic views, three dining areas and a library with over 2000 books. It’s just a 20-minute drive to Innsbruck airport, skiing is close by at Gschwandtkopf, or if visiting in summer months don’t miss a dip in lake Möserer. It tends to be more popular with couples, than families, although all holidaymakers are made most welcome.
Tyrol, Sölden
Designhotel Bergland Sölden
Daniel Craig stayed here while filing Spectre – quite possibly in the huge three-bedroom James Bond Suite. Guests can also sleep in a Wellness Suite that includes a balcony, a freestanding bathtub and water bed in the bedroom, a private sauna, a separate living area with a couch, rocking chair and wall bars. This hotel’s philosophy is “active relaxation and enjoyment”. Much of this takes place at its fifth floor Sky Spa, with a pool, saunas, steam baths and a beauty and exercise programme designed to slow the ageing process. The property has its own wine cellar, a cigar lounge and an a la carte restaurant.
Tyrol, Saint Anton am Arlberg
Raffl’s St. Antoner Hof
If you’re seeking a super central location with five-star treatment, book Raffl’s St. Antoner Hof. Its 39 rooms and suites are traditional and cosy, with contemporary touches. It feels relaxed, yet the service is unobtrusively attentive. The colourful design pieces found within the hotel are stand-out features and this bohemian theme extends to its restaurant, Raffl’s Eat Art, where the menu is enormously creative, coming from a multi-award winning chef. Additional dining concepts are Seven SKY (sushi served in a baroque style dining room) and Sticky Fingers for Tyrolean comfort food. There’s also a spa with an indoor pool, Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath and solarium.
