Seehotel Einwaller

© Daniel Zangerl

Seehotel Einwaller can be recognized from afar by its black façade, which glistens gently in the sunlight. Lake Achensee stretches out as a turquoise vacation oasis right on the doorstep, with the Karwendel mountains rising up behind the hideaway. The opportunities to spend a day outdoors could hardly be more varied: While you enjoy hiking, bike tours or water sports outside, you can enjoy absolute peace and quiet in the stylish hotel. Take a deep breath with a magnificent view of the lake and mountains? The Panorama Spa on the roof is an oasis for relaxation and regeneration, whether in the herbal sauna or with a professional massage. In the hot season, the private bathing jetty on the shore invites you to sunbathe before ending the day with traditional Tyrolean dishes and a touch of dolce vita.

A family business that has been run by several generations - the hotel was founded in 1976 as a ski hotel and today the daughter is in charge of the business, placing the highest value on the best service. The family loves art - around 130 exhibits by contemporary artists hang in the lobby, corridors and rooms. Many of the originals can be purchased at the Ischgl Art Auction at the end of the season, turning the hotel into a creative gallery that is constantly being refilled. The infinity pool with mountain views is also spectacular.

Nine individually furnished suites, all named after Tyrolean celebrities, can be found in the small historic house in the heart of Rattenberg's old town. Modern furniture and accessories meet old wood and create a unique ambience - the penthouse scores with 130 square meters, its own sauna and two terraces, one with a view of the Schlossberg.
