Hotel Cristal

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in – and we’ve seen quite a few! The location is fantastic, right on the ski slope. You step out of the ski room straight onto the slope and return from skiing back to the ski room – first big plus! But the hotel itself… wow. It’s absolutely stunning, beautiful, luxurious… everything is perfected down to the smallest detail. The decoration is breathtaking everywhere – even in places where you wouldn’t expect it at all. Throughout all corridors and floors, there are beautiful paintings – and I mean real paintings, not photos or cheap prints! Truly exhibition-worthy pieces; the whole hotel feels like one big art gallery, including the rooms. Absolutely unique! And those cabinets with the most gorgeous coffee cups on the lower corridor – just amazing. So decoration: 100 out of 100! But what was truly TOP for me is their cuisine. Breakfast was excellent – a classic continental selection, which you can find in many hotels: a wide variety of pastries, fruits, fresh juices, cold cuts, ham, cheeses, yogurts, seeds, cereals, and eggs prepared in all possible ways. But as I said, that’s quite common… …however, the dinners were an absolute gastronomic experience! It’s rare to see such a perfect cold buffet before dinner – with a wide selection of meats, fish, salmon, platters of ham and cheese, mozzarella with tomatoes, various kinds of warm vegetables, both cooked and grilled. One evening there was absolutely incredible sushi – if I had known, I would have skipped dinner altogether and just eaten that sushi! There were also various seafood options – octopus salad, shrimp, baked fish… simply everything you could wish for. And what followed afterwards was pure heaven! First a luxurious starter, then soup, followed by an amazing main course that’s impossible to describe… and finally a perfect dessert. Delicious! All of this was served in perfectly balanced portions – we never felt overfull, just pleasantly satisfied. And if that wasn’t enough, there was still a cold buffet after dinner with fruit and cheese… but we simply couldn’t manage any more. All the while, you are taken care of by excellent staff, along with the ever-present owners, the Thaler family – they are everywhere and absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spotless, the hotel is peaceful, and everything feels cozy. One evening there was live piano music accompanied by delicious appetizers and snacks – one more tempting than the other. Another evening featured live music with a guitar and keyboard, creating a lovely atmosphere in the bar. What also amazed me was the beautiful wellness area – a large, spacious pool that seamlessly transitions from indoors to outdoors. You can swim in warm water while looking at the mountains, with snow falling on your head… absolutely incredible! The only downside for us was that we had our dog with us (who, by the way, even got his own key so we could easily take him out through a side entrance instead of walking through the whole hotel 😊). However, there are very limited options for walks around the hotel – unless you want to go on a high-mountain hike. We are used to long, brisk walks at home, but here you could either go steeply uphill or steeply downhill… quite a workout for your lungs! 😄 Otherwise, for us, it’s a truly beautiful place, and we will definitely come back.

Stunning location, right next to the slopes (winter) and hike trails (summer). It doesn't advertise much as a "family hotel" which, indeed, may not be their main focus group, however that doesn't mean you're treated any differently; the service and staff are impeccable. Breakfast and sweets in the afternoon are amazing and dinner is at yet another level; HEAVEN! Real good food, perfect portions (not too much) which I personally appreciate a lot. Swimming pool and sauna/spa area are simply beautiful and access is for free. Thanks to the amazing location, the staff, the service, the food and the facilities we've had an amazing 10-day holiday. One minor thing, but again, this is more of interest for families; the "game hall" for kids is very small, very warm (no air flow or anythings) and not very inviting. We found that, noting the perfect state of everything else in the hotel, they could put more efforts in it. On the other side, the small kids' play room was great. Big thanks to the entire staff for the perfect stay!

They say Eggental is a hidden gem, with over 500 km walks.. This hotel is a gem within a gem! Excellent facilities,spa, food, location, at 1550 meter above sea level and on the route to several walks friendly, helpful staff,

The hotel was very good, nice room, very good healthy breakfast, dinner exellent . Close to the ski area. Place for car in the garage, room for shoes and ski equipment, several saunas and every day hamman

Directly on the ski and slidges slope, so you may put your ski or try your slidges right at the front of the hotel and enjoy the ride. Ski playground for kids right at the front of the hotel too. If you rent the ski in the main ski rental in Obereggen, the ski rental will bring the ski to the hotel's ski room, enough to give the Hotel name. Super new bar at the front of the slope makes relaxing moments even more relaxing. Nice outdoor and indoor pool for hotel guests. Good restaurant. Ask for the rooms in the newly added part of the hotel. Mostly fully booked therefore it is better to do the reservation a couple of months earlier. I will try to come next year again.
