the best alpine Wellness Hotels
A group we are proud to be part of
We are proud to be a member of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels. This association brings together 17 spa hotels in prime alpine locations, all family-run with a commitment to outstanding service and quality. Even today, 30 years after joining, we enjoy the chance to exchange thoughts and ideas with the other hotels in the group. After all, in the hotel business, standing still means moving backwards. Looking up to other leading companies in our field is a great motivation for us. We firmly believe that together we can revolutionise the spa hotel industry and create the workplace of the future. Collaborating so closely for so many years has created a special bond that is reflected in our shared philosophy and values. At the same time, each member of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels has its own unique concept.

The Best Alpine Wellness Hotels are a group of family-run spa hotels in outstanding locations throughout the Alps. Each has an integrated spa concept with a focus on quality and sustainability, maximum guest and staff satisfaction and a forward-looking approach when it comes to innovation.
When we decided to join the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels (known at the time as the Tyrolean Spa Hotels) we did so for several reasons. We wanted to make our hotel even better. We wanted to learn from other leading hotels. We wanted to bring the best ideas and innovations around to the Tannheimer Tal valley. When we became a member in 1992 our hotel had an indoor pool, a whirlpool, a cold-water plunge pool, a Finnish sauna and a steam room. Today, 30 years later, we have ourselves become a leading business in the hotel scene with a huge spa area covering 8,000 square metres. The Best Alpine Wellness Hotels have without a doubt played an important role in this journey.
When Der Engel was accepted as a member of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels, the founding members and leading businesses were already much further along in their development as spa hotels than Der Engel was at that time. Josef Knabl, founder, managing director and later advisor of the group, gave us a lot of support with his know-how, ideas, visions and development concepts. Back then the other hotels in the association were surprised that we had such a good occupancy rate despite our relatively basic spa facilities. We always had the support of all members, but there were certain periods when we needed to catch up in various areas. Our passion for the hotel and spa industry – and our motivation to offer guests even more quality – has always driven us. What we lacked in "hardware" in some places, we tried to make up with "software", i.e. our friendly service and wonderful staff. I guess that is the secret to what we have achieved over the last 30 years.
