Austria

When visiting Damüls in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, there are two Löffelspitze to distinguish between: one is a local mountain, the other is a fine dining restaurant at the Alpenstern Panoramahotel. It’s not just the striking backdrop that will take your breath away here, the cuisine is also out of this world. Three days a week, the restaurant serves up a tasting menu for a maximum of 12 people. Host Peter Bischof and head chef Sandro Abel source their ingredients from the region. Küchenchef Sandro Abel beziehen ihre Zutaten aus der Region.

Anyone who recognises this song from the 1950s will know that it continues by referring to a very special fragrance. Exactly which fragrance isn’t specified, we just know that it’s seductive. Perhaps it’s the calming scent of lavender from a mountain pasture, or the powerful fragrance of pine from the parlour. Maybe it’s referring to the sweet smell of Kaiserschmarren (chopped pancakes) coming from the tavern on the mountain. If the song had come from Paznauntal, all of that may well have been the case. At the Bergwiesenglück boutique hotel, it smells the same indoors as it does outdoors, and that doesn’t mean it just smells of fresh air. Eyes and nose at the ready.

Think char, think lake. Think lake, think Lunz. Think Lunz, think Refugium. And suddenly we’re where we want to be: savouring char dishes at Refugium Lunz.

The majestic mountains are more than just a backdrop here. The intense scent of the forest, the rays of light, the mountain panorama, the snow - the surroundings have a significant influence on the architecture and design of the newly opened Triforêt alpin.resorts in Hinterstoder in the Pyhrn-Priel region.

Salzburg Allegro - Interview with Margot Weindorfer, Director Hotel Stein

Walk through the golden entrance of The Secret Sölden and you will find a luxurious retreat with a French touch. The alpine surroundings of the Ötztal is not ignored. In a magical way, the two worlds merge into a cosmopolitan overall concept. What exactly does that mean and what is hidden behind the inconspicuous exterior façade?

The Apfelhotel in South Tyrol is difficult to categorise. Somehow it doesn't fit into any category. It's not rustic, but neither is it chic. It is what it is, Erich Fried would say. It's a happy place, we say. Because the fusion of farm and hotel creates something quite unique here: an unobtrusive luxury holiday!

What must it feel like to sit high up in a warm nest? At the Nidum, they know exactly. Of course, it’s no coincidence that the luxury hotel is named after the Latin name for the animal retreat. Mindful travellers who stay here enjoy wellness far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the first flowers are poking their heads out of the ground – spring will soon be here and with it the end of the ski season. Or is it? Not at all! Have you ever heard of spring skiing? Now is the perfect time for a second helping of alpine fun. Not least thanks to the firn. The ideal starting point for your search? The Bergwiesenglück, located in the middle of a Tyrolean ski paradise with something for everyone.

Italian influence in Salzburg began in the 16th century, when Venetian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi was comissioned with the planning of a new city layout. In cooperation with his successor Santino Solari, he created the look for which the city of Mozart today is world-famous. The connection of Salzburg and Venice is emphasized at Hotel Stein with an innovative concept.

The Gradonna****s Mountain Resort has been impressing guests with its in-house energy generation, environmentally friendly construction and many initiatives implemented in daily operations since it opened in 2012. This exemplary commitment of the design resort was recently confirmed by TÜV Austria with the ISO 14001 environmental management certificate.

Anyone that thinks it’s all quiet in Salzburg after the brilliant Festspiele in the summer is grossly mistaken. In autumn and winter, the famous city of Mozart plays host to a number of musical and cultural events, plus of course magical Christmas markets. And right in the middle of it all sits the urban luxury Hotel Stein in the heart of Salzburg.

Winter sports fans take note: the winter season at the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort starts on 8 December 2023. Located at 1,350 metres above sea level, the resort features 42 chalets and a hotel, and is the ideal base for anyone after fun times on the snow and the slopes.

In the fast-paced world of architecture and hotel operations, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is now opening up a whole host of fascinating opportunities. We spoke to Alexander Meissl from Meissl Architects about it. He explained to us the enduring importance of hospitality and the human factor and the link with the dasMAX.

A warm welcome and desire for vitality? Over the last few years, the owners of the Nesslerhof, Tina and Hermann Neudegger, and their team of “guest whisperers” have listened very closely to what guests want from their next holiday at the Nesslerhof. These requests formed the basis of extension and building works, of an even more relaxing and diverse holiday destination. A destination full of vitality, or what you might call natural happiness.

At the church square in Lunz am See, there lies the Refugium Lunz, which opened in spring. It invites you to come and stay. More than “just another design hotel”, it is a place of contemplation and refuge. Now ideal to escape the heat of the city, enjoy the summer freshness and experience a true summer retreat.

In today's hectic world, people often look for unique places, not only to create unforgettable experiences, but also to use as a place to work in this day and age. The Refugium Lunz, a hidden oasis in the middle of the Ybbstal Alps, offers the ideal setting for Christmas parties, meetings and workations.

In the legendary winter sports destination of Sölden in the heart of the Ötztal Alps, you’ll find THE SECRET, a mystical and magical resort that opened its doors in March 2022 following extensive renovation and expansion work. For guests who are looking for both a cosmopolitan atmosphere and a retreat in nature, the modern lifestyle hotel is the place to be.

Welcome to Puradies – where freedom meets the majestic beauty of the Alps and a unique nature resort merges with a newly designed Heaven Spa. An unrivalled combination of snow-covered slopes, alpine luxury and heavenly relaxation awaits you amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the Skicircus Leogang Saalbach Hinterglemm Fieberbrunn..

Situated in one of the most romantic corners of Salzburg’s old town, away from the hustle and bustle but in the heart of the festival district, the Hotel Goldgasse offers an authentic Salzburg experience. The hotel displays large-format art photos of the festival and thus conveys the real Salzburg flair.

Alpine Lifestyle is a term that expresses in particular the energy of the habitat in which we move. For me it means preserving the themes of one's identity, architecturally this is illustrated by the partly crazy wooden facade. Here we recycled old wood. Built in special patterns, oriented ourselves to the mountain farmers in the Alpine region and staged their craft.

In today’s world, where sustainability and environmental protection are becoming increasingly important, it is gratifying to see people and hotels opting for greener, more regional and environmentally friendly options. One such inspiring example is Bergland Sölden’s “Regional 200” – an initiative that combines local food and culinary enjoyment.

Welcome to the heart of the festival of Salzburg, where the elegant Hotel Stein opens its doors to guests from all over the world. In the year 2023, this unique hotel once again becomes the perfect retreat for art and culture enthusiasts visiting the renowned Salzburg Festival.

Welcome to Hotel Goldgasse in Salzburg, an enchanting retreat that combines history and luxury in a unique way. But the hotel offers not only exceptional accommodation, but also new exclusive natural cosmetics – from Valentina & Philippa.

Jumping into the lake completely carefree even before breakfast. A picnic on the lakeshore. Chilling on the beach. A yoga session on the jetty. Alpenhotel Kitzbühel is located directly on Schwarzsee, the warmest lake in Tyrol. Lifestyle, design and summer delights combine here with relaxation in nature and excellent opportunities for golf.

The nature resort Puradies in Leogang/Salzburger Land has generously expanded and converted its wellness area. Since June, the expanded Heaven Spa offers the even more “heavenly relaxation”.

The Seefeld Plateau is something like heaven for golfers. The seventh is the NIDUM. There are four golf clubs nearby, and the 18-hole course of theHausclub is even within direct reach. So no matter how it goes on your round: At the Nidum, you can relax, enjoy and recharge your batteries afterwards. For the next round.

If you live in the city, you might often wonder how you can achieve restful sleep when there’s so much “vibrant” noise and activity in the background. You’re tired of the situation and just tired in general. It would be much more beneficial to sleep against the backdrop oft he breathtaking East Tyrolean mountains with the best view of the Großglockner – so off we go to the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort with its hotel and 42 chalets. At 1,350 metres above sea level, you’ll enjoy exceptional views of nature, nourishing moments and find peace – because sleep is the most natural thing in the world.

There’s a flock of sheep grazing above Bergland Sölden. For hotel owner and shepherd Sigi Grüner, it’s not just a passion and a source of balance, it’s also part of his identity. He spoke to us about balancing everyday life, regionality and an ambitious project.
