Next generation luxury gadgets

Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and breathtaking mountain views, few destinations in the world are as charming as Lech. A picture-perfect village nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, despite the immense popularity of the world-famous Arlberg ski area, Lech has managed to remain exclusive, elegant, and something altogether unique. The key to retaining such distinction? As Florian Moosbrugger, third-generation family owner of Lech’s iconic Hotel Post Lech, says, it’s all a matter of personality.

“The character of the Arlberg is what makes the whole region special,” Florian explains as he fondly describes the appeal of Lech. “The personality is found in every aspect of life in the Arlberg: from the people to the restaurants, businesses, luxury hotels, chalets and stores that reside here. Lech has in her personality a combination of sportive, elegant and discreet charm. She’s not a loud personality; she’s elegant, refined and exclusive. The Arlberg includes five villages: St Anton, St Christoph, Lech, Zürs and Stuben. Each of our five villages has a different charm, and each personality complements the other.”

Elegant, refined and exclusive are also words that can accurately describe the personality of the historic Hotel Post Lech. In the Moosbrugger family since 1937 and a member of the elite circle of renowned Relais & Châteaux hotels for more than four decades, over the years, much has changed for the hotel. However, the family’s passion for winter sports and dedication to creating a refined guest experience has always remained. “We as a family are really honoured that we can have this space to cultivate personal contact with our clients,” says Florian. “That’s what keeps us going. It’s also one of the reasons we always want to stay small and special.”

Featuring 46 exquisitely appointed rooms, guests are treated to a wealth of facilities to ensure that every element of the Post Lech experience is as special as promised. In addition to a tastefully furnished selection of spacious living spaces for guests to enjoy throughout the hotel, the beauty and spa area is complete with a spectacular outdoor pool, two saunas, a fitness room and several wellness suites for the ultimate massage or revitalising treatment after a long day’s skiing.
