Himmlhof

Hotel Himmlhof is a magical, bespoke, boutique hotel nestled beautifully in a quiet street, close to all that St Anton has to offer. From the moment you arrive the family Penz give the warmest welcome, they open their arms and their hotel to you. It is clear that for the family, and their amazing team, no effort is too great. Each room is packed with traditional Austrian charm. Wooden floorboards, historic panelling, an open fire in the lounge and comfortable sofas all make this a perfect choice to relax after a busy day on the slopes. This is a hidden gem that we can’t recommend highly enough. We have stayed here twice already and can't wait to return again next year.

I had a wonderful vacation at the Himmlhof Hotel with my two adult children. The Penz family and the entire team were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The hotel itself is marvelous, with stunning design throughout—the public areas, rooms, and the magnificent spa are absolutely amazing. The breakfast is simply the best I’ve ever had! This was my second stay, the first being in 2022, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for another fantastic experience!

Hotel Himmlhof is a truly magical place to stay. It is a beautifully appointed hotel and we were made to feel very welcome. Everyone is so kind, helpful and we were always greeted by smiling faces. A Big Thank you to you all - we absolutely loved our stay!

Hosted by the Penz family, you’ll receive the warmest of welcomes on arrival at Hotel Himmlhof and their attentive, yet relaxed service, throughout your stay. Nothing is too much trouble and they delight in making your visit one to remember. Conveniently situated in the heart of St Anton village, the hotel is close to restaurants, bars, ski hire and many other local amenities including the railway station. It is also only a 5 minute walk away from the main Gampenbahn cable car which is the most immediate way to get up into the main ski area. Don’t let me forget to mention the hotel included ski and boot storage less than 50m from the cable car, saving you carrying boots and ski’s, therefore leaving you to wander back to the hotel via your favourite après ski bar. The hotel ambience is true Austrian hospitality at its very best. Comfortable and beautifully well appointed rooms, delicious breakfasts and after your day on the slopes a very welcome afternoon tea. And if that is not enough then why not take advantage of the spa facilities before going into the village for dinner. On that note there is plenty of choice of local restaurants and the reception will be able to advise on where to go, even booking your table (recommended). In summary Hotel Himmlhof is a charming hotel, an absolute gem in the heart of St Anton where you will feel perfectly at home.

My wife and I stayed at the Himmlhof during the first week of February 2025 for a week of skiing the Arlberg. This is a fantastic place, quiet and convenient to town with the most wonderful family and staff. Their amazing spa helped us recover each night and the yummy breakfast helped get us started each morning. We could not recommend the Himmlhof more highly.

We have enjoyed the Penz' gracious hospitality annually for nearly 20 years with friends, family and recently solo. Marguerite, Sebastian & now Christopher, Julia and an active Henry (2yrs) are always most welcoming, helpful with dinner reservations and keep us smiling with daily afternoon post skiing eats oft accompanied with a glass of recommended wine or spirits. Rooms are classic Tyrol and there a charming spa awaiting! I'd definitely rate at 5 stars 👍
