"KRISTIANIA LECH will be re-opening as a first ever PRIVATE EDITION 2021 to the “new now" supporting art & culture. With a throwback to our 60s/70s vibe and originally designed as a private house by my father, my team and I will welcome guests in an intimate club setting with 16 (of 44) bed rooms available including an unlimited gastronomy concept and lots of privacy. It is fun, it is original and
it is about Austria and creating new memories.“ Gertrud Schneider
Private. I compare Four Seasons, Dorchester Group or Oetker Collection hotels to designers like Gucci, Prada and Armani. And the KRISTIANIA LECH I compare to the tailor, you find in a little side street in Milano, who is specialized in making custom suits. This is why, the bespoke KL experience is a different kind of experience. It is not like we are trying to be different; we are just trying to be ourselves in a way that matters to our guests. We want to interact and engage with guests in a sensible and meaningful way. While visiting a tailor, you are spending time picking out fabric and creating your own style. I want to create the same experience with guests when they engage with the hotel from the first telephone call to the thank you note they will find at home after their departure
Summer Edition. Picture the scene: a bowl of peaches still warm from the sun, between the meadow flowers and herbs, lady bugs flying and buzzing bees, sun-kissed mountain peaks, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the inevitable holiday dilemma – which of the beautiful terraces to choose for a lazy snooze in the sun, which of the perfectly crafted cocktails to enjoy while listening to Frank Sinatra’s “Bluemoon” during sun set hour and finally deciding which peaceful mountain peak to conquer the next day – full of renewed energy. Step into the creative world of our Summer EDITION magic where vibrant contemporary art, captivating music and dance, collectable textiles, exceptional furniture and late 60ties architecture are mixed with tailor-made service in the dazzling setting of the picturesque village of Lech. Our summer edition project is celebrating everything beautiful from contemporary art to Austrian joie d’vivre and our wonderful Arlberg mountains in pristine nature. The focus is on supporting the local community, bespoke art, music and dance performances. Think “intellectual Sommerfrische”: Banksy meets Frank Sinatra and Empress Sisi for a soul searching hiking tour in a breathtaking alpine setting, Lech. Imagine a snowy winter escape in an intimate family-run hotel, available to only a handful of guests, where you can enjoy unrivalled privacy, exceptional cuisine on demand included in the rates, a reading butler who sources your favourite books, a day packed with heli-skiing, a cinema under the star and more tout privé. We invite epicureans, art lovers, the adventurous kind and those who simply want peace of mind for a private winter at KRISTIANIA LECH. Our winter editions: Think, film nights under the stars cosied-up in warm duvets and armed with hot water bottles, day beds in the snow and winter sun - just for you, intriguing art installations, a pop up contemporary art gallery, dinners for 12 with an artist as my co-host and chef reviving the idea of the 19th century salon combined with 21st century “meet the artist” flow. Tout privé.
