Falstaff Hotel Guide 2026

"Das Central" is truly an alpine retreat for all the senses. The traditional hotel has been attracting guests to Ötztal for over 55 years. A skillful mix of modernity and traditional flair creates a special ambience in the hotel. Culinary excellence awaits in the hotel's own "Ötztaler Stube", which was carefully modernized last winter. The impressive Summit Spa offers fantastic views of the Ötztal mountains, an infinity pool, saunas, steam baths and an extensive treatment menu. With their own PINO 3,000 wine, the hosts live out their love of good wines; every year at the end of April, they organize their own wine and gourmet festival, "Wein am Berg".

Falstaff SPA Guide 2026

Surrounded by impressive three-thousand metre peaks and the rugged mountains of the Ötztal Alps, "Das Central" in Sölden is a luxurious retreat that pays great attention to detail. Several spa areas span the luxurious wellness space - the indoor pool with a conservatory, the Swiss stone pine sauna, and also the new Summit Spa. Float towards the mountain peaks in the infinity pool, read a cosy book in the relaxation room or relax in one of the saunas with panoramic views. There is also an adults-only relaxation oasis with nine saunas and steam baths. Brand new to the spa space: a cryo chamber where guests can use cold therapy at temperatures as low as minus 110 degrees to boost their immune system. The cuisine is Michelin-awarded and serves excellent dishes made from the freshest regional ingredients.
