Hotels in Sölden

Sölden sits in Austria's Ötztal valley and is known for a large ski area with two glaciers. It offers varied slopes and a lively après-ski scene, drawing skiers and snowboarders of every level.

Sölden, in Austria's Ötztal valley, is one of the country's best-known winter sports resorts. Its ski area reaches three summits above 3,000 metres, linked on the Big 3 circuit, and the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers keep snow cover reliable well beyond the core winter months. Away from the slopes, Sölden has a busy après-ski scene, international events and the Freizeit Arena leisure centre for non-ski days. Ski hotels here are chosen above all for their access to the lifts, whether near the Gaislachkogl and Giggijoch cable cars, up in Hochsölden, or in the village centre served by the ski bus.

Apart Madeleine Superior inklusive Summercard

Sölden

Family apartments with ski storage, cross-country access, and ski bus

Why guests love it

Apart Madeleine Superior was a great base for our family: a renovated apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony, so we could cook and relax at our own pace. The free ski bus stops just 50 metres away and runs to the Giggijochbahn, which made mornings easy. The heated ski storage kept boots warm overnight, and on a rest day we tried the cross-country trail right outside the door.

rechenau LIVING & RELAX

Sölden

Wellness, mountain views, and close to the Giggijochbahn

Why guests love it

rechenau LIVING & RELAX gave us a bright apartment with a balcony, a short walk from Sölden's centre and about 500 metres from the Giggijochbahn. The 100 m² Panorama Wellness Parlor was our evening hideaway, with mountain views while the kids played upstairs. The heated ski storage with boot dryer meant warm boots every morning. Free WiFi and the easy village access made it a relaxed family base.

Garni Rustica

Sölden

Quiet mountain views, ski storage, and a romantic setting

Why guests love it

We came to Garni Rustica as a couple for a quiet ski week, and it delivered exactly that. Our room looked out over the Ötztal Alps, and evenings were peaceful, far from the après-ski noise. The Gaislachkogl gondola and the village centre are both a short walk, so we never needed the car. The ski storage with boot dryer was a small luxury that made every cold morning a little easier.

Sportalm

Sölden

Sunny, quiet, and close to the Gaislachkogelbahn cable car

Why guests love it

Sportalm is family-run and sits in a sunny, quiet spot just 200 metres from the Gaislachkogelbahn, close enough that our kids walked it in ski boots without complaint. Our room had a balcony with mountain views where we watched the slopes empty at dusk. The Swiss pine sauna smelled wonderful after a cold day, and the relaxation room with its spring water fountain was a calm corner for us parents.

★★★

Apart Reinstadler

Sölden

Ski-in, mountain views, and steps from the cable car

Why guests love it

Apart Reinstadler is just 10 metres from the Gaislachkogel cable car, and the slope runs straight back to the door, which felt almost too good with three kids. Our apartment had a balcony with mountain views where we watched the last skiers come down each evening. The village centre is a short walk for dinner or an ice cream. Free private parking and ski storage made the practical side completely painless.

★★★

Apart Hotel Arno

Sölden

Slopeside comfort with sauna and mountain views

Why guests love it

Apart Hotel Arno sits right next to the slopes, about 300 metres from the Giggijochbahn, and a ski bus stop is close if little legs are tired. Our room had a balcony with mountain views, lovely in the evening light. The ski storage with boot dryers meant warm, dry boots every morning, which our kids definitely noticed. The communal sauna was a simple but welcome way for us to unwind after long days.

Hotel Garni Maria Theresia - Official Ötztal Summer Card Partner

Sölden

Quiet Sölden hotel with spa, mountain views, and ski storage

Why guests love it

Hotel Garni Maria Theresia was a quiet, easy choice: a three-minute walk to the Giggijoch cable car and the village centre, so the kids never had to trek in ski boots. Our room had mountain views and was a calm place to rest after busy days. The spa area with Finnish sauna, steam bath and relaxation room was ideal for tired legs in the late afternoon, and the ski storage kept the room clear.

★★★

Hotel Garni Schönblick

Sölden

Alpine comfort, spa relaxation, and easy access to Sölden's slopes

Why guests love it

Hotel Garni Schönblick suited our family's budget without skimping on comfort. Our Alpine-style apartment had valley views and space for everyone to spread out. The free spa area, with a Finnish sauna, steam room and infrared cabin, was a lovely bonus at the end of the day. The heated ski room with boot dryer meant warm boots every morning, and the nearest lift is just a short bus ride away.

Corso Living

Sölden

Mountain-view apartments with spa, ski storage, and garden

Why guests love it

Corso Living gave us a calm apartment with mountain views and a garden where the kids built a snowman on day one. The Gaislachkogelbahn is about 800 metres away, a manageable walk or a short hop by car. We used the spa and wellness area most evenings to ease tired legs, and free WiFi kept everyone happy on downtime. The ski storage meant our apartment stayed tidy all week long.

Hotel Schöne Aussicht

★★★★

Hotel Schöne Aussicht

Sölden

Ski-in/ski-out, adult-only, spa and panoramic views

Why guests love it

We left the kids with their grandparents and booked Hotel Schöne Aussicht, which is adults-only and sits right beside the ski runs in Hochsölden. Ski-in, ski-out made every day effortless. The infinity outdoor pool and hot tub with the Ötztal peaks all around were unforgettable for us, and the saunas were perfect after long runs. Evenings started in the Skybar and ended at the show-cooking restaurant.

Residenz Allegra
Spa & wellness4.7

Residenz Allegra

Sölden

Modern aparthotel with spa, mountain views, and family-friendly amenities

Why guests love it

Residenz Allegra gave us a modern apartment with mountain views and a fully equipped kitchen, so we could cook dinners while the continental buffet breakfast took care of mornings. That mix worked brilliantly with three kids. After skiing we used the sauna in the spa and wellness centre, and the fitness room was there for anyone keen. Free private parking and ski storage made arrival and daily routines easy.

Urbanhof

Urbanhof

Sölden

Modern Alpine stay near the Gaislachkogelbahn with sauna

Why guests love it

Urbanhof's ski storage has boot dryers, a small detail that makes mornings with children easier, and the Gaislachkogelbahn Cable Car is just 200 metres away. Rooms with mountain views and family-friendly options are available in this hotel refurbished in 2020. Sölden's centre is a 10-minute walk for an evening outing, and I would save the sauna for parents once the children are in bed after the last run.

Spa & wellness
Hotel Alpenfriede
Spa & wellness4.7
★★★★

Hotel Alpenfriede

Sölden

Slope-side serenity, spa relaxation, and family charm

Why guests love it

Hotel Alpenfriede is a family-run four-star in Hochsölden with direct slope access in the Ötztal Alps, and I recommend it to families who want reliable snow and skiing from the door. The high-altitude location is the main draw for a ski week. After the slopes, the spa and wellness area offers time to rest, and ski storage keeps gear organised. Rooms are cosy rather than large. A 9.3 score across 84 reviews shows very satisfied guests.

★★★★

Royal Appartements Sölden

Sölden

Slope-side apartments with spa, mountain views, and ski storage

Why guests love it

Next to the ski slope above Sölden, Royal Appartements lets families start the day on skis close to the building. I would choose it for the space: the apartments are large, with balconies and mountain views. The ski storage room has a boot dryer, so children start each morning in dry boots, and free underground parking helps with luggage. Parents can use the sauna and steam bath once the skiing is done.

★★★★

Hotel Valentin

Sölden

Spa, mountain views, and steps from the Gaislachkogel Cable Car

Why guests love it

Hotel Valentin is a five-minute walk from the Gaislachkogel cable car, an easy stroll even with our seven-year-old. Our mountain-view room was comfortable, and we chose half-board so dinners were sorted after skiing. The on-site sports shop saved the day when a glove went missing, and the spa area was our wind-down spot. Evenings by the cosy fireplace became a family après-ski ritual.

Das Central – Alpine . Luxury . Life

Sölden

Five-star Sölden hotel behind the ice Q summit restaurant, with a 2,000 m² rooftop spa and a private ski shuttle

Why guests love it

Das Central's saunas and steam baths, rooftop infinity pool and Ötztaler Stube set an adult tone, and that is the first thing a family should weigh. Sölden itself has around 144 km of slopes and 31 lifts between 1,350 m and 3,340 m, which suits teenagers and parents who ski well more than small children who are still learning. The hotel's own website mentions no kids club, and it has no position at the foot of a nursery slope: children ride the private shuttle like everyone else. Guests score the hotel 9.3 out of 10 across 63 reviews. With young beginners, I would choose a hotel nearer a ski school meeting point.

Hotel Grauer Bär

Sölden

Quiet Sölden stay, spa, and close to Gaislachkogelbahn

Why guests love it

Hotel Grauer Bär sits in a quiet spot near the Gaislachkogelbahn cable car in Sölden, so families reach the lift easily in a calm setting. Some rooms have balconies with mountain views, and I would ask for one. The spa area has a sauna and a steam bath, the Tyrolean restaurant keeps dinner simple, and the cocktail bar suits parents. Free parking helps with a car, and 150 reviews average 9.3.

★★★★

Hotel Edelweiss Hochsölden Superior

Sölden

Ski-in/ski-out, spa, panoramic pool, and family-friendly dining

Why guests love it

Hotel Edelweiss in Hochsölden was built for families like ours: ski-in, ski-out onto the slopes, a ski school close by and a children's playroom for the end of the day. It is family-run and genuinely welcoming. Our mountain-view room was comfortable, and half-board meant no evening scramble for restaurants. The panoramic indoor pool was the kids' highlight, while we enjoyed the spa after skiing.

Hotel Enzian Hochsölden Superior

Sölden

Ski-in/ski-out, expansive spa, and panoramic mountain dining

Why guests love it

Hotel Enzian Hochsölden Superior sits at 2,090 metres in Hochsölden with ski-in/ski-out access, so children step onto the slopes from the hotel. The 1,500 m² spa has indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and an infrared cabin. Rooms are spacious with mountain views, and half-board includes breakfast, an afternoon snack and dinner, which I find useful with hungry skiers. An underground car park is available.

die berge lifestyle-hotel Sölden

Sölden

Mountain views, family rooms, and a spa with a pool

Why guests love it

Family rooms at die berge lifestyle-hotel Sölden have balconies and mountain views, which is what I would book for a family that needs space. The swimming pool with a view is where children will spend the late afternoon, while parents can use the sauna, spa and fitness centre. The family-friendly restaurant serves diverse cuisines, a help when tastes differ, and ski storage keeps equipment out of the room.

Sportlers Lodge Sölden lifestyle-lässig-anders

Sölden

Rooftop infinity pool, extensive wellness, and a lively bar

Why guests love it

Sportlers Lodge has a relaxed lifestyle vibe that our teenagers loved from the first evening. The rooftop Infinity Sky pool, 155 m² and running indoors and out, was the highlight, with views over Sölden. The three-storey wellness area had saunas and quiet relaxation rooms, and we even booked the private spa one night. The 400 m² gym kept the keen ones busy, and the living room with bar and games was our evening hangout.

★★★★

Alpengasthof Grüner

Sölden

Slopeside calm, spa relaxation, and mountain views

Why guests love it

Alpengasthof Grüner sits high above Sölden in a quiet, slopeside location, and a ski school is right outside, which I find ideal for children starting lessons. A free shuttle to Sölden stops 100 metres away for evenings in the village. Rooms have mountain views, parents can use the spa area, and free underground parking helps when arriving with luggage. 340 reviews average 9.2.

Slopeside hotel with spa, pool, and mountain views

Why guests love it

Hotel Elisabeth Superior gave us slopeside access to the Gaislachkogl cable car, so mornings with the kids were quick and calm. Our mountain-view room was comfortable, and the fireplace in the lounge made evenings feel cosy. The indoor pool and saunas were where we ended every ski day. Dinner in the restaurant was traditional and filling, and if you want the village, Sölden's centre is a short bus ride away.

Mountain-view apartments, spa, and steps from the Gaislachkogelbahn

Why guests love it

Top Apart Gaislachkogl is right in Sölden's village centre, only 50 metres from the Gaislachkogelbahn, so we were first in the queue most mornings. Our Alpine-style apartment had mountain views and plenty of room for the family. The boot dryers in the ski storage were a blessing, and the renovated spa and sauna area was our evening treat. On a rest day we tried the cross-country trail right behind the building.

Rooftop spa, outdoor pool, and direct cable car access

Why guests love it

Bergland Design- und Wellnesshotel sits right next to the Zentrum-Shuttle Cable Car in Sölden, so families reach the slopes quickly. Its 2,200 m² rooftop spa with an outdoor pool is the main draw after skiing. Rooms combine modern design with natural materials and have a balcony, minibar and satellite TV. Half-board is available, which I would take to keep dinners simple, and ski storage is on site.

Ski-to-door access, mountain views, and family-friendly comfort

Montanara combined ski-to-door access with the freedom of an apartment, which was perfect for our family. Our unit had a kitchenette, parquet floors and a private bathroom, plus a balcony with mountain views where we had breakfast on sunny mornings. Cooking our own meals kept costs down over the week. The garden and sun terrace were great for the kids in the afternoon, and the ski storage kept boots out of the way.

Sölden

Spa, Tyrolean food, and steps from the Gaislachkogelbahn

Why guests love it

Hotel Bäckelar Wirt is just 80 metres from the Gaislachkogelbahn and close to the centre of Sölden, which made it easy with kids who refuse to walk far in ski boots. Dinners were proper Tyrolean cuisine, hearty and generous after a day on the slopes. On sunny afternoons we sat on the terrace while the kids played, and later we warmed up in the sauna and steam bath. Ski storage is on site too.

AlpenParks THE SECRET Sölden

Sölden

Apartments with kitchens, spa, and steps from the cable car

Why guests love it

AlpenParks THE SECRET is just steps from the Gaislachkogel cable car, so we were up the mountain early without dragging tired kids through the village. Our apartment had a kitchenette and a balcony, ideal for quick breakfasts and airing out ski gear. The indoor/outdoor pool was the children's favourite, and we escaped to the saunas and steam bath. It felt like the best of apartment freedom with real wellness.

Alpenapart Saphir

Sölden

Family apartments with kitchenettes, balconies, and ski storage

Why guests love it

Alpenapart Saphir gave our family a proper apartment in Sölden, with a kitchenette, private bathroom and a balcony where we dried gloves in the sun. Cooking our own breakfasts and dinners kept the budget sensible for a week of skiing. The free private parking was a relief after the drive up the Ötztal, and the ski storage meant no gear in the living room. Simple, comfortable and practical for families.

★★★

Hotel Waldcafe

Sölden

Ski-to-door access, mountain views, and a full wellness area

Why guests love it

Hotel Waldcafe pairs ski-to-door access in Sölden with family rooms that have balconies and mountain views. After skiing, the wellness area offers a sauna, steam room and hammam, and there is also a fitness centre and a sun terrace. A daily buffet breakfast makes early starts on the slopes simpler. I recommend it to families who want to ski straight from the door in a smaller hotel rather than a large resort complex; 73 reviews average 8.9.
