Lech am Arlberg, Austria
Ten rooms in Lech am Arlberg. A 1,000 m² alpine spa, Gault Millau-recognised kitchen, and a private chalet with its own pool and butler.
Aurelio Lech holds just ten rooms above the village of Lech am Arlberg. Balconies face the Tannberg peaks. Axel Pfefferkorn runs the house with a clear belief: we don't remember days, we remember moments. The hotel has won Austria's Leading Boutique Hotel five times at the World Travel Awards, most recently in 2025.
The Aurelio Club Chalet stands apart. A dedicated butler, private kitchen team, and a self-contained spa with indoor pool make it a hotel within a hotel. Downstairs, the main spa stretches across 1,000 m². Aurelio's restaurant carries Gault Millau and Falstaff recognition. Every detail here points toward alpine elegance kept deliberately small.
Lech am Arlberg connects to one of the largest ski areas in Austria. Lifts and runs sit minutes from the front door in winter. Summer opens the same mountains to hikers, with alpine trails rising directly from the village. The hotel's fitness studio carries current equipment and a personal coach available year-round.
The 23-metre indoor pool invites laps any season. The Aurelio Club Chalet hosts private celebrations and weddings for those who want the mountain to themselves.
