Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
ARPURIA is made for couples who want a calm, grown-up base in St. Anton. The adults-only hotel sits slightly above the village at the edge of the forest, and its Aria Spa, with a heated indoor and outdoor pool looking over the valley, is the reason many guests choose it. The food in its restaurants and the many small touches, from the free coffee bar to the snacks in the spa, are praised just as warmly as the staff. The position has a cost. The walk up from the centre is long and steep, so in winter the free shuttle to the centre and the lifts is part of the routine, and it stops running back at 18:00. The saunas are textile-free and open only in the afternoon, which surprises some visitors. Couples who value peace, good food and a serious spa will find it hard to fault; families and those who want to walk to the lifts should look in the centre.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 8 hotels we list in St. Anton am Arlberg is 9.2.
- The Aria Spa is what guests praise most: a heated indoor and outdoor pool with views of the village and the valley, several saunas, a steam bath and a salt grotto, plus snacks laid out in the relaxation area.
- Guests describe the cooking as exceptional, from the varied breakfast to dinner in the different restaurants, including a small fondue corner and an omakase menu. Booking a table in advance is recommended.
- The hotel sits above the village, and guests mention a long, steep walk back after a day out. The shuttle helps in winter but runs back only until 18:00, after which a taxi is the easy option.
- The sauna and steam areas are textile-free, as is usual in Austria, which some guests did not expect, and the saunas open only in the afternoon. The pool and salt grotto can be used in swimwear.
