TOP Hotel Hochgurgl
Cosy Tyrolean warmth meets contemporary alpine luxury. Lots of warm wood, marble bathrooms, fireplaces in the suites, and a family-run atmosphere where the General Manager makes the rounds at dinner. Not a place for anonymous hotel-chain sterility — guests here tend to come back year after year.
Book a room with a south-facing mountain-view balcony — the morning views over the Ötztal peaks are exceptional
Why It Matters
Two Michelin Keys, ski-in/ski-out with the lift 30 metres away, one of the highest luxury hotels in Europe at 2,150m, and a spa with an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Ötztal Alps. Relais & Châteaux member. Renovated in 2022.
Founded in 1961 and sitting at 2,150 metres above sea level, TOP Hotel Hochgurgl is one of the highest luxury hotels in Europe. The lift is literally 30 metres from the front door — ski-in/ski-out doesn't get more literal than this. Add a serious 1,100 m² spa, two Michelin Keys for its dining, and an on-site wine cellar that claims the title of highest-altitude in the Alps, and you've got a property that earns its name.
