Atmospheric Austrian Resort Offers Unique Alps Aesthetic

An exclusive Austrian resort with unmatched access to the nearby Alps, the Madlein Hotel is part modern ski chalet and luxurious getaway for skiers and spa-goers. With an experience in mind, the Melein’s owners set out to design a hotel that embodies the minimal. The hotel’s few materials are well used. Stone, wood and glass surrounds guests and intelligent lighting design transforms hotel spaces into dreamy volumes for eating, drinking, gathering and relaxing. The hotel spa exercises a similar Zen-like approach with its holistic treatments and visitors eager to shed stressful crowds can head to the Madlein via a private jet service. [via arnewde]
