Elizabeth Arthotel
Contemporary alpine art hotel with a nü-chalet aesthetic — think warm wood, curated artworks from Austria and neighboring countries, low lighting in the restaurant, and a lively après bar scene just steps from the front door. Funky and fun, but genuinely sophisticated.
Book the half-board — the 5-course evening menu changes nightly and is genuinely the highlight of a stay here, not an afterthought
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide selected and a Tablet Hotels member. The first art hotel in the Alps, family-run since 1976, with all displayed artworks available for purchase. Arguably the best ski-access location in Ischgl — the two main gondolas are literally 10 metres from the front door.
Elizabeth Arthotel is the first art hotel in the Alps — a 5-star, adults-only (16+) property sitting directly at the base of Ischgl's gondolas, with ski-in/ski-out access. Built by the son of the man who founded the Ischgl ski area, named for his wife, and now run by his daughter, it's as much a family story as a design statement. The hotel's rotating collection of European contemporary art lines every corridor and public space, and all of it is for sale. Rooms are polished and bright with hardwood floors, cozy linens, and slope-view balconies; the penthouse spa on the 7th floor puts an infinity pool right above the piste.
