1. Das Central – Alpine. Luxury. Life., Sölden
Arrive, exhale, take it all in. Das Central is more than just a hotel, it is a feeling. Tucked into the Ötztal Alps, this five-star retreat combines alpine soul with sophisticated flair. Kids are well looked after in the dedicated kids’ club while parents can relax in the Venezia Water World or the expansive spa. The gondola outside the door leads straight to mountain adventures – ski slopes in winter, hiking trails in summer. For something truly unforgettable, ride up to the Ice Q restaurant at over 3,000 meters. It’s futuristic, cinematic and was even featured in a James Bond film. Families also love the alpaca hikes, and mountain bikes are available to turn nature into your playground.
2. Wiesergut, Hinterglemm
A place that quietly touches the soul. Designhotel Wiesergut is different – calm, refined and deeply beautiful. Families with a love for clean design and natural materials will find a retreat that feels both exclusive and personal. The garden suites are spacious and serene with a private sauna and hot tub. They offer a unique mix of luxury and family comfort. Kids play freely outside, while parents enjoy peace and space. Baby monitors, cots and special kids’ meals are discreetly available. Evenings around the fireplace after a day of hiking become cherished family memories.
3. AMRAI Suites, Montafon
AMRAI Suites is made for families who love cozy luxury. Wood, stone and soft textures create an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. The suites feel generous and intimate at once. While kids snuggle up in the family lounge, parents can retreat to the adults-only spa. In winter, gentle slopes and ski schools are just around the corner. In summer, trails begin right at the doorstep. Life here moves a little slower, but every moment is rich and full.
4. Stanglwirt, Going am Wilden Kaiser
Green spa resort Stanglwirt isn’t just a hotel, it is a way of life. Rooted in Tyrolean tradition, it welcomes families with open arms. The children’s area is a world of its own, complete with petting zoo, climbing wall, cinema and supervised fun. There are water slides, a kid-friendly sauna and plenty of room to explore. While the kids are busy, parents sip wine, ride horses or relax in the spa. One unique highlight: the on-site cow barn that delights guests of all ages. And in winter, the slopes are just steps away.
5. Hotel Riederalm, Leogang
A joyful blend of style and family spirit. The Good Life Resort Riederalm is perfect for those who want adventure for the kids and calm for the grown-ups. The kids’ club is vibrant and imaginative, the pool landscape suits all ages – from a sleek infinity pool with alpine views to splash zones with slides. The suites are spacious, modern and designed for comfort. In winter, the lifts are nearby. In summer, adventure begins right at the front door.
The cuisine? Award-winning and beautifully regional, yet still mindful of younger palates. The Good Life Resort’s adults-only dining area is a true bonus – ideal for guests who want to enjoy a quiet meal without slipping into parent mode.
