Severin's – The Alpine Retreat — Hotel in Gemeinde Lech

We just came back from a family skiing holiday spent in Lech, and we can’t stop thinking about a wonderful experience we had at Severin’s Hotel. The hotel is more of a luxury chalet, offering 9 top notch designer suites, with cutting edge technology, immaculate service and alpine refined dining. ||Our family suite was just wonderful, with an amazing bunk bed for kids, spacious lounge and bedroom, beautifully designed bathroom and a terrace. Our lounge area was had a lovely fireplace and had classy Minotti furniture, and our suite had 4 (!!!!) Loewe TVs (each kid’s bunk bed had its own tv). The room is fully equipped with cutting-edge technology, each room had its own music system with 4 channels and option to connect it to Bluetooth. Out suite was always immaculately clean and well organized, thanks to professionalism of Elena and her team. ||Severin’s Hotel is located In Stubenbach, just a couple of minutes drive away from Lech, its numerous skiing slopes and fancy apres-ski vibe. The hotel shuttle team drives you anytime anywhere and takes care of your equipment, so that was absolutely not an issue for us. Nicely equipped heated skiing room located in the garage area makes it very easy to get on and off the shuttle. We found it also handy that the shuttle was taking us to different locations, so we were able to drop off the kids in one place and go skiing in a different place, as the area has many lifts and pistes to offer. With a ski in-ski out imho you are definitely more dependent on the place you stay. Thank you to Mirko and his colleagues (sorry we don’t remember all names) for always being there for us, professional, helpful and friendly.||The minibar was included in the room rate, so we always had soft drinks and snacks, coffee and selection of teas available for us.||The food and beverage was impressive and makes Severin’s Hotel a destination of its own! The breakfast and dinner are included in the rate, as well as a welcome glass of champagne and a bottle of chilled Bollinger in the room upon arrival. The dining room is beautiful, very cosy and warm, making it always enjoyable to have dining experience there. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they knew and respected our preferences and were always able to cater to any requests in a very professional and understanding way. The breakfast was served a la carte, with the menu changing every second day, and included such refined dishes as poached eggs with black truffles, chia protein bowl, avocado-salmon plate, etc. The dinners were served also from a la carte menu and were prepared by an award-winning Chef, every night it was a wow experience. Not to forget to mention the vast wine selection and sommelier Anton, always there to assist you and help with your choice. During the stay we had as well 1 fondue dinner, 1 gourmet-menu dinner and 1 Austrian-themed dinner, so it never got boring and we always had something new to try and indulge in.||The hotel has a very nice and spacious spa area, with a swimming pool, 3 saunas (including infrared sauna), steam bath and experience showers, just perfect after a busy skiing day! ||We would like to say one more time thank you to Cecily, Mark and all the team of Severin’s Hotel for their friendliness and commitment to create memorable guest experience, we are definitely looking forward to be back next year and enjoy all the luxury experiences this lovely and secluded alpine hotel has...

Objektive Bewertung unserer 3 Tage im Severin's The Alpine Retreat||||Freundlicher, professioneller Empfang. Leider war das Management durch Krankheitsfälle etwas dezimiert. Die Stellvertretung schien nicht eingespielt.||||Uns führten grosse Worte in der Presse, Vorschusslorbeeren und eine gehörige Erwartung ins erst Ende 2016 eröffnete Severin's, ca 8 Minuten ausserhalb von Lech a. Arlberg im etwas versteckten kleinen Stubenbach gelegen. Das sich selbst als „Luxus Chalet“ beschreibende Haus liegt in mitten des oberen Dorfes mit prächtiger Aussicht auf die gegenüber liegenden Berge. Ein gratis Shuttle Bus bringt die Gäste nach Lech.||||Dem zeitgenössischen alpinen Stil hat Herr R. S. aus Imst seinen Stempel aufgedrückt, das strikte Design hat leider überhandgenommen, die Gemütlichkeit geht etwas verloren, die Räume wirken zum Teil düster und unbequem, ins Besondere das unter Tage liegende Spa ist viel zu dunkel gestaltet, den Türen fehlt jegliche Beschriftung und sind nur mit etlichem Kraftaufwand zu öffnen.||Das Design vergisst den Komfort und die Funktionen für den Gast, die technische Einrichtung und das Lichtkonzept ist eine echte Herausforderung und leider unpraktisch zu bedienen, die Suiten im Eck lassen sich schlecht verdunkeln.||||Der sehr schöne Mix aus Holz und Stein ist augenscheinlich sehr gelungen und ansprechend, passt auch ins Ortsbild. ||Leider hat das Design der Suiten den Gast vergessen, so sind die deckenhohen Schränke für Menschen durchschnittlicher Größe unerreichbar, Ablagen fehlen und Kleiderhaken findet man keinen Einzigen im Zimmer (Eingang ausgenommen). ||So hängen die Bädemäntel statt im Bad, im Eingang und alles andere muss auf einem der Sofas oder Sessel abgelegt werden. Für uns leider enttäuschend da unpraktisch.||Das gläserne Bad/Nasszelle musste ebenso dem strikten Design folgen wie das WC und so hört und sieht jeder im Zimmer was dort läuft ..(die Details erspare ich euch). Nachts wird man vom Licht aus dem Bad geweckt, die Spülung besorgt den Rest.. Ich glaube kaum dass dies für € 1'000 die Nacht angedacht ist.||||Eine (weitere) Enttäuschung war für uns das Essen und der inkonsistente Service im Restaurant. Hier haben wir sicher mehr erwartet - und viel weniger erhalten.||Am ersten Abend servierte man uns im 5* Plus Berg Chalet, ungefragt, ein 4-Gang Arrangement ausschließlich mit thailändischen Spezialitäten, am letzten Tag kams noch besser und wir wurden, wieder ungefragt, mit einem minimalistischen Fondue Chinoise überrauscht. Anscheinend hat die Küche am So-Abend frei und so wird der Gast des 5 Sterne Superior Hauses im Nobelort Lech mit einem pfannenfertigen Fondue sich selbst überlassen. Tut uns leid, aber das ist ein No-Go für ein sich selbst als " Hotel der Extraklasse für höchste Ansprüche" betiteltes Bergchalet.||Wo bleibt da die lokale Küche und der Ehrgeiz des ausgezeichneten Küchenchefs ?||||Ansonsten sind die Suiten ein schöner alpiner Schick, hochwertig und größtenteils mit Liebe ausgestattet. Leider wurde beim Design und der Ausführung zu wenig an den Gast gedacht. Das Lichtkonzept ist äußerst unpraktisch, die Belüftung und Wärme erst auf Nachfrage angenehm, die Zimmer leider hellhörig. Das Bad an anderer Stelle bereits beschrieben.||||Unser Fazit: sehr durchwachsen was Service, Persönlichkeit, Individualität, Spa, Küche (auch das Frühstück) zu bieten hatte. Für ein 5 Sterne Superior Hotel mit derartigem Anspruch (und entsprechend gesalzenen Preisen) , leider...
