Retro-chic hotel with spa, yoga, valley views, and Slow Food
"A polished midcentury revival that preserves 1950s style through vintage furnishings and a curated palette, offering expansive valley views from a lobby often enjoyed with a flute of Champagne; its restaurant reimagines old-fashioned dishes using organic, locally sourced ingredients and a robust selection of vegetarian and vegan options, with house-brewed beers and grilled fish served on an unheated terrace even in winter." - Michelle Tchea
"Situated at the foot of the Graukogel Mountain and only an 8-minute walk from the centre, Hotel Miramonte enjoys a unique location overlooking the entire Gastein Valley. The sun terrace offers panoramic mountain views. The Miramonte Aveda Spa provides professional massages, a thermal spring, and a jacuzzi. Guests can also relax in the panoramic sauna and in the large relaxation room overlooking the mountains. Yoga lessons and guided mountain tours are offered several times a week. All of the individually designed rooms feature large balconies with valley views, flat-screen satellite TVs, and a bathroom. Wi-Fi access is free of charge in the entire hotel. The rich breakfast buffet and a breakfast for late risers are served in the dining room. The Miramonte’s restaurant serves light and innovative Slow Food cuisine in the evening. Guests can also have a glass of wine at the bar or try the homemade beer. The famous Bad Gastein Waterfall and the casino are only 300 metres away. The waterfall and the Stubnerkogel ski lifts can be reached with a private hotel shuttle." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"Like the perfect martini, Miramonte is sharp and chilled, with a dash of 60s glam. Viennese architect Ike Ikrath has shaken up a traditional chalet hotel and stirred in modernist details with flair: designer chairs with sheepskin rugs in the restaurant; futuristic steel tables in the bar; avant-garde art on the walls. The 36 rooms are scrubbed and simple, film-set chic, and the overall style is nostalgic, its relaxed vibe aimed at boho, sporty grown-ups. During the day, there's superb Alpine skiing or hiking and biking, depending on the season. Late afternoon might mean a snooze on the sunny terrace overlooking the mountains or a soak in the Aveda spa’s thermal baths. Evening meals are friendly, with delicious dishes and wine consumed at communal tables if you book half board. Later, couples mingle by the fire pit while amiable hip staff serve up gin cocktails and mellow music. Our visit was fun but fleeting, and we can't wait to re-join Austria’s artists, actors and creative set who have claimed Miramonte as their own. Highs Revitalising valley views; book a Panorama Room with a balcony for extra wow We loved the cool vibe and grown-up atmosphere: adventurous couples will be in their element Bad Gastein’s famous hot spring bubbles right into the hotel – spa baths in radon-enhanced waters are both soothing and rejuvenating The hotel can help with ski and bike hire, and has its own ski storage and heated boot-drying racks Lots of extras are included in the rates: shuttles to the station & slopes, afternoon tea, open-air movie nights, coffee and pastries, DJs and live music nights Lows The drive here can be tricky and there's limited on-street parallel parking (fun in the snow!). You're best off getting a transfer No twin rooms Meals at communal tables may not suit romance-seeking couples, but this is entirely optional Traditional saunas are shared with both genders and taken in the nude. Not necessarily a low but something to be aware of!" - Imogen Cox
"Viennese architect Ike Ikrath (who, together with his wife, also owns the Haus Hirt down the hill), has managed to create a hotel with both the charm of a traditional Alpine chalet and the flair of a high-design hotel. Rooms have a retro feel, with 50’s style chairs and brightly-tiled bathrooms. Panorama rooms have long balconies with sweeping views of the Gastein valley; some also have hammocks, for really soaking up the vista. For literal soaking, the Aveda spa has therapeutic thermal baths fed straight from Bad Gastein’s healing waters, alongside twice-daily yoga classes. Apres-ski sustenance comes in the form of afternoon tea and four-course dinners, with good vegan options. " - Nicola Iseard
