ARLBERG BOUTIQUE HOTEL – AS SEEN ON
How can a Kangaroo be turned into a mountain-goat?
At the beginning of December 2001 while on a round-the-world trip, Dave ran out of money and got stranded on the Arlberg. Dave the Kangaroo was standing outside the snow-covered train station in St. Anton in a T-Shirt and Shorts with no idea where to go and what to do.
The goal for the day was – Food, warm clothes and somewhere to sleep but in truth it was clear, he had to get a job, or things were not going to end well for this Kangaroo.
At the end of the season, with some money back in his pocket, Dave’s wanderlust couldn’t be appeased. So he started a new journey towards the sunny south of Europe. Nevertheless – Even the sun and warmth of Portugal couldn’t make him forget the fun time with his friends at the Arlberg and the girl he left behind. He had to go back. To make a veeeery long story short – Now 20 years later, Miriam and Dave are still a couple. The dream of running their own little hotel/hostel already started to form while travelling and discovering the world together. They now try to pack all their Impressions from around the world into this little 48-bed Hotel.
If you would like to hear Dave’s version of this story, just ask him while he serves you drinks in the hotel-bar or in the Café. To hear this story in his funny Austrian-accent makes it an even better experience…
The ABH – “Arlberg Boutique Hotel & Hostel“ is a family-run hotel in the Arlberg-region. We – Miriam, Dave acquired the “Gasthof Edelweiss” in Summer 2017 and renamed it to better represent us and where we want to go with the Hotel. During the first Summer and Autumn months we started to renovate the older parts of the house to our design. In reality this means Miriam has the ideas and Dave has to find a way to make those ideas happen.
You won’t find your typical hotel-ambiance, standard “waiter-penguins” and punctual gala-dinners in our house. We do however offer a whole lot of “feel-good-vibes” and the special-touch of original hospitality. We are young, dynamic and always good for a surprise. For the next few years our heads are already filled with new and innovative ideas, but our ABSOLUTE priority is to offer an easy going and welcoming vibe for all of our guests. True to our motto:
« A Home is anywhere you are greeted with a warme smile » (Philipp Helmer, Author)
