Hallstatt Hideaway

A silent place for meaningful experiences

Hallstatt Hideaway lies in the centre of Hallstatt amidst of the Salzkammergut and is a haven of peace surrounded by mountains. With five unique private suites to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect home away from home. The „Holz“ suite is the oldest – dating back around 500 years. Baroque doors from the 18th century plus elements of modern design: this suite is a wonderful testimony to the history of the hotel.

The house was built in 1740 by Empress Maria Theresia for her “Forstmeister“ (forest conservator). Guests today are spoiled for choice: a suite with an extensive terrace and modern architecture? Or with a library, fireplace and views of the lake and mountains, or the one with a unique stucco ceiling?

Or 100 sqm of pure luxury with an outdoor whirlpool and breathtaking panoramic views? Discover the power of historical architecture beautifully and skilfully combined with modern design. Enjoy magical views out over the rooftops of Hallstatt, the lake and the mountains.

KALS AM GROSSGLOCKNER | AUSTRIA

Gradonna****s

Mountain Resort

Breathtaking location and outstanding architecture

The Gradonna****s Mountain Resort with its 41 chalets and the hotel is located directly on the Kals slope in the Großglockner Kals-Matrei ski area. The designer alpine hotel at an elevation of 1,350 metres offers pure natural pleasure inside and outside. The wood shingle facade and the large window fronts allow the landscape to “flow” into the hotel. The materials and colours of nature define the interior down to the smallest detail. Local spruce, stone pine, linen and loden create a pleasant atmosphere. Kals marble and wood sculptures award the resort an exclusive but down-to-earth flair.

The 115 rooms, 41 wooden chalets and twelve suites in the hotel tower offer a direct view of the Großglockner and 60 further 3,000-metre-plus peaks in the Hohe Tauern. The carfree resort with about 3,000 sqm of wellness, bathing and sauna landscape and a kid’s club offers indoor and outdoor pools as well as a solar-heated natural swimming pond that covers 700 sqm.

The buildings should not only be preserved, but be showcased in a design that would breathe new life into their walls. The new design compliments their brutality with elegant interventions and transform their austere functionality into a place of calm, comfort and relaxation. A complimentary palette of concrete, steel, timber and engineered glass ensures that new construction elements tread lightly, leaving the existing buildings relatively untouched and retaining their strong presence.

„The châlets in wooden construction and the high-quality suites in the hotel tower are reminiscent of an alpine amphitheater, which opens up to

Gradonna****s Mountain Resort: MAGDALENA’S natural cosmetics that get under your skin

The MAGDALENA’S made in Tyrol range of skincare products draws its power from nature. Containing vegan and regional ingredients, the products don’t just pamper guests at the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort (the home of the beauty brand), they’re also available to visitors to the magdalenas.tirol online shop.

Finding a cosmetics line is easy – finding the right products for natural beauty, on the other hand, is not. For Martha Schultz, co-owner of the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort the ideal option for your skin is sustainable, vegan and contains local ingredients. As she told us while talking to The STYLEMATE: “Regionality and the exceptional quality of the products are essentials for us.” But they weren’t able to find a partner on the market that could meet their high expectations – and that’s why they decided to launch MAGDALENA’S.

Their demands when it comes to skincare products are stringent: high quality, regional, free from animal testing, organic and vegan, attributes that are as important for the four-star hotel as they are for the beauty products. “Our herbal experts worked closely with my son Lukas in 2012 to develop an innovative skincare and cosmetics range that will be loved by both men and women,” explains Schultz when discussing the origins of the brand.

Vegan, regional and high quality

The recipe for the products has been refined over the last few years, and manufacturing has been adapted to meet increased demand: MAGDALENA’S made in Tyrol doesn’t just impress consumers with its short transport distances, the skincare range is also made entirely by hand. And since last December, the hotel’s own range of cosmetics products has been certified organic. “MAGDALENA’S cares for the skin of those who use it. All of the products in our extensive range are suitable for all skin types and are fragrance-free – instead they smell of the Alps and give you a sense of the freedom of the mountains,” says pharmacist Lukas Schultz. At first, the new range was used exclusively at the resort in Kals am Großglockner, “but because demand was so high, you can now also order it from home,” adds Martha Schultz, and refers us to the website magdalenas.tirol.

The skincare range is a true family success story, and the brand name is part of that: MAGDALENA’S namesake is Martha Schultz’s niece. And what do guests have to say about it? “The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The indulgent feel of the creams and lotions in particular, as well as the moisturising properties of the skincare and cosmetics products are always mentioned positively. We also get a lot of glowing reviews on our magdalenas. tirol online shop,” says Martha Schultz, happily. With the range of Alpine cosmetics products from the Gradonna****s Mountain Resort, the experts have created therapeutic treatments that will appeal to those who are conscious of being respectful of nature.
