Post Lech Arlberg
Traditional Austrian alpine inn elevated to 5-star luxury. Antiques and carved wood, but with genuinely modern spa facilities and a kitchen that punches well above its weight. Formal but warm — staff in dirndl, silver service at breakfast, the full performance.
Book the Kaiser Suite (114 m²) for the most space — it's nearly double the next-largest room and has a fireplace lounge
Why It Matters
One of Austria's most storied alpine hotels: Moosbrugger family-owned since 1937, Relais & Châteaux member since 1976, and the hotel that royalty — including Queen Juliana of the Netherlands — has returned to for generations. The Postblick restaurant is in the Michelin Guide 2026. A genuine institution in one of Europe's most prestigious ski resorts.
The Post has been family-owned since 1937 and has belonged to Relais & Châteaux since 1976 — nearly half a century in that company. That longevity says something. Sitting right in the centre of Lech village, this pale-pink hotel is resolutely traditional: local antiques in every room, hand-carved woodwork, tiled stoves, staff in Austrian garments. But it's been so meticulously maintained and quietly modernised over the decades that it manages to feel both genuinely old and suspiciously pristine at the same time. The kitchen is guided by Michael Volcanjsek, the wine list has won Wine Spectator recognition two years running, and the spa — added in a 2010 wing — has a heated outdoor pool that guests use year-round, even when it's snowing. 46 rooms and suites across the main house, plus the separate Chalet Säge opposite.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Chalet Säge
A standalone chalet opposite the main building, 130 m² across two proper bedrooms plus a 'Heidi attic' with four additional beds accessible by a ladder staircase — an instant hit with children. Two living rooms with tiled stoves, two bathrooms with steam baths, a small kitchen and a terrace. Full 5-star hotel service still applies. Winter only — not available in summer.
Multiple · 130 sqm
Double Room
One step up in space at 26 m². Like every room in the Post, it has its own distinct character — no two rooms are styled identically. Local antiques and loving detail work make even the standard double feel considered.
26 sqmFürsten Suite
At 60 m², the 'Prince's Suite' features gilded furniture and classic curtains — very much in keeping with the Post's love of the theatrical. A serious suite for guests who want old-world Austrian grandeur.
60 sqm
Herzog Suite
The first of the full suites at 55 m². 'Herzog' means duke — and the suite delivers on the title, with green-and-gold bed and mountain views. Elegant without being overwrought.
55 sqmJäger Room
Styled with a hunter's aesthetic — the name means 'hunter' in German. At 35 m², there's noticeably more room to breathe, and the room can accommodate up to 4 guests. A good option for small families.
35 sqmKaiser Suite
The top of the house at 114 m² — nearly twice the size of the next-largest suite. 'Kaiser' (emperor) is not an overstatement: the suite includes a separate lounge with fireplace, making it the only room in the main building with an open fire. For two guests only.
114 sqmPostillion Room
Named after the post-rider of old, at 40 m² this is a proper room with genuine space. Traditional red wooden bed is a signature feature — a distinctly Austrian touch that guests remember.
40 sqmPostmeister Room
At 50 m², the Postmeister is where rooms start feeling genuinely spacious. Features a canopy bed with decorative wood carvings — the kind of piece that looks like it came out of a Bavarian farmhouse three centuries ago.
50 sqmSingle Room
The entry-level room — compact but individually decorated with local antiques and alpine character. At 25 m², there's no wasted space, but every square metre is used well. TV, minibar, safe, and Wi-Fi as standard across all room categories.
