It offers suites, standard rooms, studios and apartments. Wonderful or exceptional are just some of the adjectives with which those who have been lucky enough to visit it already describe it.
As for “Verde” and sustainability is concerned, the award in this category has gone to the hotel Aurelio Lech, in Austria. Located in the exclusive resort of Lech am Arlberg, it is Austria's newest and most luxurious hotel, spa and ski resort.

And since we also like to go home, even though we are not on a global level, in Spain we also have our best ski slope, best hotel and best boutique hotel. The first is BI heard Taüll, the highest station in the entire Pyrenees, located in Lérida. The second is the Rafaelhoteles By La Pleta, a little treasure at the Baqueira-Beret station.
