Hotel das Central

Located in the heart of Solden, in the Austrian Otz Valley of Tyrol where the famous Alpine Skiing World Cup takes place every year, the 5-star luxury resort Das Central calls out to those who want a bit of pampering. Whether you are a skier in the winter or hiker in the summer, Das Central should be on your radar for the ultimate luxury experience. The hotel has an outstanding reputation as being one of the best retreats in all Austria with friendly service, gourmet dining by a Gault Millau chef, as well as personalized programs by the lifestyle and fitness concierge, Simon to keep you entertained as you explore the Tyrolean Alps. The rooms range from traditional mountain furnished rooms to very modern wooden rooms you wish you could call home. Rooms come with a balcony overlooking the slopes and Otz Valley. Das Central is an excellent stay for discerning and luxury travelers with the half-board option offering a full buffet breakfast, afternoon vitality snacks (more than just snack), as well as a gourmet 5-course dinner with a very large salad bar which is only at its best when the dining room is filled and no other events are running throughout the hotel. There is also a 30,000 bottle wine cave which can be enjoyed by guests, as well as the high-end Gault Millau Restaurant, Ötztaler Stube. If you are a fan of James Bond, experience the full 007 at Ice Q Restaurant (owned by Das Central) before visiting the cinematic experience of Elements – a museum dedicated to the filming of Spectre with Daniel Craig. The restaurant Ice Q is an excellent dining experience for gourmets and you must try the Pino3000 red wine, whereas Tirolerstube is a great choice for simpler yet delicious Tyrolean specialties like spatzle and roast meats from the valley.
