Lech am Arlberg, Austria
An award-winning boutique hotel and private chalet in Lech am Arlberg, with ten rooms, over 1,000 square metres of spa, and alpine silence on every side.















Hotel & Chalet Aurelio sits at Tannberg in Lech am Arlberg, one of Austria's most storied alpine settings. The property is small by design. Eight Top Deluxe Double Rooms and two Aurelio Suites form the boutique hotel. A separate private chalet holds eight more bedrooms and suites. Between them, fewer than twenty keys share a spa spanning over 1,000 square metres.
Part of the Pepper Collection, a group of luxury hideaways around the Arlberg, the Aurelio earned the title Austria's Leading Boutique Hotel 2023. The philosophy is consistent: first-class from request to departure. Every detail exists to leave nothing to be desired. Two buildings, one standard, no compromise.
Lech am Arlberg is one of the Alps' great ski destinations. Lifts and groomed runs spread across the Arlberg region, connecting Lech to neighbouring resorts. Winter brings alpine skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country trails through quiet valleys. When the snow melts, the same mountains open to hikers and trail runners. High-altitude paths cross wildflower meadows above Lech. The Arlberg's terrain suits both casual walkers and serious peak-baggers.
