The Schwarzwand Hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the breathtaking winter wonderland of the Austrian Alps.
The Schwarzwand Hotel, located at the centre of Lech at the Arlberg, is run by the Elsensohn family, one of the town’s oldest and most well-established families.
Schwarzwand is more than just a hotel; it’s a home away from home, a destination to experience the majestic beauty of the surrounding mountain area with the warmth and hospitality only a family home can create.
With the skiing area just a stone’s throw away, world-class mountain views, elegant rooms with contemporary design, cosy dining, and a magical ambience that evokes tranquility and relaxation, Schwarzwand is a must-visit alpine refuge to experience the best of the Austrian Alps.
Thoughtful Design Meets Alpine Comfort in Every Detail
A blend of Alpine tradition and modern comfort makes up Schwarzwand’s 24 thoughtfully designed rooms. With handcrafted upholstered furniture, wool carpets, and oak wood panelling, they exude warmth and elegance and promise a cosy yet refined atmosphere.
While the fresh Alpine air is all around, beckoning guests out for a stroll or an exhilarating day of skiing, the hotel itself has much to offer. The wellness area, with sauna, blossom steam bath, and Kneipp foot basins, promises to soothe tired muscles, while Italian-Austrian dinners served with Mediterranean flair, await at the hotel’s restaurant.
And for nightcaps, there’s always the hotel’s marble-clad bar, serving classic cocktails and fine espressos to conclude days of relaxation, mountain spirit, and Alpine charm.
