The story of GROSSARLER HOF

Rooted in tradition. Crafted with care.

Some places have a story to tell. GROSSARLER HOF is one of them. What is now an intimate Small Luxury Hotel welcoming guests from around the world began with the vision of Peter and Christiane Draxler: to create a special retreat where the warmth and authenticity of the Austrian Alps meet contemporary luxury.

With a love for detail, a deep respect for tradition and a genuine passion for hospitality, that vision became reality. Together with their daughter Teresa Pagitz, the Draxler family continues to shape the unmistakable character of GROSSARLER HOF – through beautiful natural wood, cosy alpine interiors and an atmosphere that feels genuine, welcoming and full of heart.

A story of heart and heritage Rooted in tradition

The beginning of a special story.

The beginning.

The story of GROSSARLER HOF began on 22 December 2009, when the hotel first opened its doors as an alpine luxury retreat in the heart of the Grossarl Valley. The first Grossarl Hunters’ Ball marked the beginning of a new tradition. In the years that followed, the hotel earned its 4-star superior classification and the Mooslehenalm mountain hut was taken over and renovated.

International luxury meets alpine heritage.

The early years.

In 2014, GROSSARLER HOF joined the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection. Over the following years, the expansion of the wellness area and sun terrace created even more space for relaxation and enjoyment. The hotel also received its first awards from renowned hospitality guides, recognising its exceptional quality.

Culinary recognition and a new chapter,

A new chapter.

From 2018 to 2023, the cuisine at GROSSARLER HOF was recognised with 87 points and two forks in the Falstaff Restaurant Guide.

In summer 2023, Michiel Berkers took over as hotel director, bringing fresh ideas and a renewed focus on quality, personal hospitality and culinary excellence. Together with the team, he began shaping the next chapter in the hotel's story.

Growing together. Celebrating success together.

Achievements worth sharing.

A shared passion continues to drive GROSSARLER HOF forward. Rising guest ratings, prestigious awards and recognition from leading hotel and restaurant guides reflect the hotel's ongoing development.

Whether in the Jagastub’n fine dining restaurant, at Erlenreich Relax & SPA or through the personal service our guests experience every day, behind every achievement are people who bring genuine warmth, dedication and attention to detail to everything they do.

Special achievements. Shared success.
