The Hotel Alpin Juwel was just built a few years ago in 2012 and is located right on the slopes just above Hinterglemm. It has its very own lift that will take you from the hotel smack dab into the village centre in about a minute.

The impressive facilities are sure to wow you - a panoramic restaurant and a rooftop wine bar as well as a heated outdoor pool and a free children's club for families.

The spa here is particularly luxurious. Besides that lovely outdoor pool, there's also an indoor pool, various saunas and steam rooms and there's even a yoga master from Sri Lanka on hand.

About the resort

Saalbach and Hinterglemm are two pretty villages that sit in Austria's largest ski area; the Ski Circus. It has the name because the slopes literally surround you. There's 270km of picturesque red and blue runs with mountain huts dotted all around. This place was just made for the mile-hungry intermediate skier or boarder.

Rest and relaxation

The wellness and spa offering here is nothing short of stunning. The entire hotel is based on the philosophy that 'mens sana in corpore sano'; a healthy mind in a healthy body. That flows from the food through to the impressive facilities.

The 1000m² Alpinveda Spa includes a beauty area, four different saunas, an indoor pool, an infinity outdoor pool, three different relaxing rooms as well as Yoga and gym facilities. 

Food and drink

The half board meals at Alpin Juwel are all extensive and include a hot and cold buffet breakfast until 11am, but for the late sleepers out there, they offer an a la carte 'late sleeper' breakfast from 11am to 12pm. 

There are also daily hot and cold après-ski snacks, and finally, a six-course evening meal, which includes a tasty salad buffet.

Rooms

All 78 rooms at the Hotel Alpin Juwel are spacious and full of natural light. They come in a choice of two styles - the Kristall rooms are very traditional in style, while the Rubin rooms are a bit more contemporary, with stripped pinewood and luxe décor. All of the rooms come with balconies, so no worries about missing those mountain views!

The rooms also come with free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, a minibar, a mini-safe, a hairdryer and super comfy bathrobes and slippers, and a full ensuite.

Families and kids

The hotel runs its own kids' club for kids aged 3 and over. It's available Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and 6pm to 9pm. The kids may have more fun than you as the list of activities includes tobogganing, games, arts & craft and more. There's also a teenagers' games room with a Wii and Playstation.
