Review
Perched on a hill a five-minute walk from Lech’s main street, Hotel Aurelio feels like a refined oasis. The property offers all the sophistication of a world-class hotel but with the intimate feeling of a private residence. Comprised of three buildings, one of which has been transformed into a chalet for groups or families, the property puts a sleek, modern spin on traditional alpine décor.
Opened in 2008 by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, the 10-room Aurelio includes unique furnishings like African fabrics, Asian-inspired, carved wood furniture and photographs of Lech. The small property feels intimate and has a romantic ambiance thanks to its location on the fringe of town.
Among the many appealing features of Aurelio is its gourmet restaurant, which serves international as well as traditional Austrian dishes and highlights local ingredients. The spa is another highlight, with a 75-foot-long pool and herbal steam room and makes for a relaxing way to end a day on the slopes.
Who Should Stay
Couples looking for a cozy escape with contemporary décor and excellent service.
