At this hotel there is no middle choice.
The hotel has exactly two categories: 80 and 200 square metres. There is nothing in between.
That sounds unremarkable and is not. There is no step up here, only the jump to two and a half times the size. If you are wavering between the two, you cannot meet in the middle.
What that means in practice:
• Decide by party size, not by budget. 80 square metres is generous for two people. 200 is a different proposition – worth it if you arrive as four or six, and rarely otherwise.
• Ask us for both prices at once. With two categories the comparison takes a minute, and you see immediately whether the jump is even in question for your dates.
• And ask early. A hotel with two categories has no third to fall back on. In high season on the Arlberg the date decides, not the preference.
On top of that comes the minimum stay of two nights. In a ski village reached over the Arlberg, that is not a hurdle but a description of the usual trip.
Our advice: tell our travel advisors how many of you there are, first. Here that is the question that answers everything else.
The Hotel Tannenhof stands in Tyrol, in St. Anton am Arlberg, above the village centre on the slope. That is the quiet side: the lifts and the bars are down in the valley, and you come down to them.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who wants to be in the ski area by day and not in the middle of the noise by night.
What is within reach: the Galzigbahn and the Rendlbahn, the two ways into the area from St. Anton; the Arlberg ski area, some 300 kilometres of pistes and more than 200 kilometres of marked off-piste descents, linking St. Anton, Lech, Zürs, Stuben and Warth-Schröcken; and the winter walking path up to St. Christoph, where the Arlberg pass reaches its height.
For orientation: St. Anton has its own railway station on the Arlberg line – you can arrive from Zurich and from Innsbruck without a car. Innsbruck is about an hour and a half by road, Zurich a good two and a half, and the Arlberg tunnel begins at the door.
The Hotel Tannenhof carries two categories, and both state a floor area: 80 and 200 square metres.
That is the shortest list a room selection can have without shrinking to a single entry – and it has a quirk worth knowing: the larger of the two is listed as a room, the smaller as a suite. Word order and square metre order run against each other here. So we consistently give the number rather than the designation.
What the numbers mean in practice: 80 square metres is a lot of space for two people – more than many suites measure. 200 is no longer a larger room but a floor area on which several generations can keep out of each other’s way.
Ask our travel advisors about the outlook: on a slope, the side decides whether you get sun in the morning or only in the afternoon.
What applies to both categories alike: breakfast for two people and the 50 US dollar hotel credit.
A night at the luxury hotel in St. Anton starts at 600 euros. For context: that is an entry at the upper end of the price range.
A stay begins at two nights. Included are: breakfast for two people, a 50 US dollar hotel credit, and early check-in and late check-out subject to availability – in a ski village that is the benefit you notice on the first and the last day.
When the snow is most reliable: from January to March. The Arlberg is among the snowiest areas of the Eastern Alps, and in these weeks the whole area is open.
When the light is best: in March and April. The days are long, you ski the south slopes in a T-shirt, and it is still winter up top.
When it is quietest: from June to September. St. Anton is then a walking village: the lifts run for hikers, the slopes are green, and you have the paths to yourself.
When to enquire early: for the weeks around Christmas, for February, and for the days of the Weißer Rausch in April, when the race down from the Valluga ridge fills the village. With two categories, lead time decides.
How long to stay: four to seven nights in winter – or three in summer if you come to walk.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
St. Anton has a reputation as a loud place, and that is true of two streets in the valley. Everything else about it is terrain.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThree things belong to it. First the Arlberg ski area: some 300 kilometres of pistes plus more than 200 kilometres of marked off-piste descents – that is why good skiers come here rather than elsewhere. Second the Valluga: 2,811 metres, a small cable car to the very top, from where the descent to Zürs is permitted only with a guide. Third the Arlberg pass itself, at whose summit in St. Christoph a hospice stood from the fourteenth century onwards to get travellers through the winter.
For everything else there is the hotel credit: 50 US dollars, with no rate condition and no further strings.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: a ski guide for a day – on the Arlberg the difference between piste and terrain is considerable, and the descents worth having are not on the map – and the transfer from Zurich, because the train is comfortable but arriving with ski luggage is an exercise of its own.
The benefits of this hotel apply independently of any programme membership: the credit and the breakfast come with no small print.
We reviewed the best hotels in St. Anton am Arlberg and picked one: the Hotel Tannenhof.
A night starts at 600 euros.
The Hotel Tannenhof. It sits at 4.5 out of 5 in our ranking and stands above the village centre on the slope.
Exactly two: 80 and 200 square metres. There is nothing in between – so there is no middle choice here, only the jump to two and a half times the size. Note: the larger is called a room, the smaller a suite.
Yes, two nights. In a ski village reached over the Arlberg that is not a hurdle but a description of the usual trip.
Above the village centre, on the slope. By day you are quickly at the Galzig and Rendl lifts; by night you are not living in the middle of the noise of the two valley streets.
50 US dollars, with no rate condition and no further strings. The benefits apply independently of any programme membership.
The snow is most reliable from January to March, and the light is best in March and April. It is quietest from June to September, when St. Anton is a walking village.
That depends on your membership: whether a stay here earns points or status nights in your programme, your travel advisor will confirm before you book. The suitespot benefits apply in any case.
