ARPURIA - 4 Star Superior - Adults Only

Beautiful spa amenities with spectacular view of the village and valley

A small refrigerator in the room would have been nice given the nightly rate being charged.

The hotel is 'adults only' with a very nice spa, which was a nice place to relax after skiing. The food was also very good - both for breakfast and in the evening. (There was a set Christmas menu when we were there). Room was comfortable with a view over St. Anton.

There were, on a couple of occasions, a group of teenagers who just squeezed within the 'adults only' policy limit making a racket in the spa area without any parents in sight, which was a bit frustrating. Also odd moments of confusion about the -0 normally very good - shuttle service down to the lifts.

This hotel is flawless! This was single handedly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at for a ski trip. Facilities were amazing, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, breakfast was superb and it was really peaceful and relaxing. It is on the pricier side, but we felt it was worth the money.

My partner didn’t know that the sauna and steam room were nude only areas (swimming pool and salt room were not), which I think she would have preferred it not to be. However, that’s a European thing which more reserved Brits need to get used to, it didn’t bother me!

Breakfast and Food was very good and staff in the restaurant friendly. They picked us up at the train station for no extra costs as the hotel is up a hill. Rooms are small but good.

I have never slept in so uncomfortable beds. The mattress on both sides was super soft, so that it hurt my back and I almost could not walk any more in the morning. The regular reception staff was not as friendly as you are used to in Austrian hotels. When we arrived they were hiding behind the computer and did not pay attention or greeted, when we said hi until the teamlead stepped in. You had the feeling they wanted to hide and not talk to guests. The Spa area is very small and the promoted outdoor pool is only 1 sqm. Spa area was very crowded and noisy and sometimes no space available for sun beds. Even the indoor pool was quite small. 20 Euro as room service fee is way too much. They tried several times to charge us for something that we did not order like parking lot, even if we came by train, wine, etc. Internet in the room did rarely work. St. Anton in October is not the perfect place to be as almost all restaurants, cable cars, and stores are closed until December. Even more frustrating if the hotel and spa are not as promoted on their website.
