Himmlhof Small Luxury Boutique Hotel

The Himmlhof is a world class Hotel with a family vibe that makes it exceptionally unique and special! The location in St Anton is great, just a step off the beaten path, which gives you the feeling of solitude yet steps away from the slopes and all the culinary pleasures and excitement of a diverse cross section of locals and tourists with high spirits. The hotel is beautiful, the food is outstanding (how they do this day after day is a marvel!), the amenities divine, but most importantly, the Penz family, owners of the establishment, are the warmest, kindest people you will ever meet!! It was our second year and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! We will never forget our trip to the Himmlhof , and skiing the slopes of St Anton Arlberg … and to our delight, the Penz family will never forget the troubled twins from Oregon, Maree & Dee ⛷️

There is simply nothing to fault at this beautiful family-run hotel. The Penz family are true locals, with incredible genuine warmth and friendship given to all guests. The rooms are very well appointed and excellent size, with comfortable beds, and seperate bathroom and toilets. Breakfast and afternoon tea was included (which was absolutely massive and delicious - a shout out to Kiwi baking chef Milly!) was another highlight. If you are going to Sant Anton make the Himmlhof your home away from home and you won’t regret it. Thank you Family Penz for a fantastic stay, see you next year!

The Himmlhof is unique. Not only is it wonderfully designed and furnished in excellent, tasteful style. Quality and subtle. Homely but professional. Everything was presented with care and very clean. From the gorgeous traditional building, the wonderful swimming pool, spa, plunge pool, and sauna area. The outside quiet area, with beautiful pots full of interesting plants, and plenty of benches tables and cushioned seating, leading into spacious and atmospheric dining rooms and comfy and relaxing areas inside. Even inclusive parking! The family, whose generations have resided at The Himmlhof, give you the uniquely full experience of total care and respect for their guests. The food and drink, served, was beautiful. Second to none. The courtesy and hospitality shown was so appreciated. If you want to be included in this superb experience, don’t take my word, just go and visit The Himmlhof for yourself. Thank you to you all for our stay. x

Our family of 5 spent a week at the lovely Himmlhoff in March while we in St Anton for a ski vacation. This was our first trip to St Anton and we will be back and return to the Himmlhoff (the hotel was recommended to us by some friends who had stayed there years ago and we'll recommend it to our friends)! This small hotel is run by a family that is the epitome of friendly, gracious and helpful. They assisted me with a lot of plans - ski rentals, ski tickets, ski guide and restaurants, which made organizing very easy. The delicious breakfasts of yummy bread, pastries, coffee, cheeses, yogurt, eggs, etc. and afternoon tea of delightful cake and other goodies gave us a great start to the day and an enjoyable way to reenergize after a day on the slopes. The Himmlhoff even surprised me with the most delicious chocolate cake on my birthday. The rooms had comfy beds, were very clean and all in all just lovely. While I didn't partake, all the other members of my family tried the cold plunge and raved about it. The Himmlhoff is just minutes away from the slopes via a pedestrian walk.

Hotel Himmlhof is a magical, bespoke, boutique hotel nestled beautifully in a quiet street, close to all that St Anton has to offer. From the moment you arrive the family Penz give the warmest welcome, they open their arms and their hotel to you. It is clear that for the family, and their amazing team, no effort is too great. Each room is packed with traditional Austrian charm. Wooden floorboards, historic panelling, an open fire in the lounge and comfortable sofas all make this a perfect choice to relax after a busy day on the slopes. This is a hidden gem that we can’t recommend highly enough. We have stayed here twice already and can't wait to return again next year.

I had a wonderful vacation at the Himmlhof Hotel with my two adult children. The Penz family and the entire team were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The hotel itself is marvelous, with stunning design throughout—the public areas, rooms, and the magnificent spa are absolutely amazing. The breakfast is simply the best I’ve ever had! This was my second stay, the first being in 2022, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for another fantastic experience!
