There’s a cinematic hush as you ascend the winding road towards the snow-dusted peaks and into Sölden’s alpine embrace.
Nestled in the heart of the Ötztal Valley, Hotel Bergland Sölden emerges like a scene from a Bond film: sleek, enigmatic, and quietly luxurious. It’s no coincidence as the hotel played host to the cast and crew of “Spectre” with its Sky Spa and surrounding landscapes featured prominently in the film’s icy sequences. Beyond the Bond glamour, Bergland offers a deeply personal experience – one that blends design, wellness, and culinary excellence in a setting that feels both remote and refined.
This family-run and proudly independent hotel has been a fixture in Sölden for over a decade, evolving into a five-star design and spa hotel that reflects the region’s natural beauty. The architecture is modern alpine, clean lines, warm wood and expansive glass, designed to frame the mountains rather than compete with them. Inside, the aesthetic is tactile and earthy. Felt, wool, stone, and linen come together in a palette of soft greys and warm neutrals. It’s a space that invites quiet luxury, with thoughtful details at every turn.
The hotel offers 86 rooms and suites, each designed with comfort and clarity in mind. Many feature private balconies with panoramic views of the Ötztal Alps, while interiors include a generous space to work or unwind. Nespresso machines, flat-screen TVs, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are sleek and spacious and stocked with premium organic Saint Charles Apothecary toiletries, made in Austria,and beautifully scented.
Dining is a highlight. The gourmet half-board includes breakfast and a multi-course dinner that showcases regional produce with international flair. The hotel’s à la carte restaurant, Black Sheep, offers elevated alpine cuisine, while the fireside bar and cigar lounge provide a moody, elegant space for post-ski cocktails. The wine cellar is well-stocked with Austrian vintages and international classics, and the hotel’s commitment to provenance is evident in every dish from the local breads and cheeses which are all sourced from nearby artisan bakeries.
The Sky Spa is perched on the hotel’s rooftop, offering indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, and treatment rooms with mountain views. It’s a sanctuary of calm, ideal for recovery after a day on the slopes or meetings. The hotel also offers yoga, fitness classes, and direct access to hiking and biking trails in summer, and ski-in/ski-out convenience in winter.
Sölden is accessible via Innsbruck Airport, followed by a scenic drive through the Ötztal Valley. The journey itself is part of the experience, winding roads, dramatic cliffs, and alpine villages. Once at Bergland, guests can visit the nearby 007 ELEMENTS museum, an immersive Bond experience built into the mountain or explore the nearby Rettenbach Glacier.
Hotel Bergland Sölden is alpine luxury with a license to thrill – elegant, discreet, and impeccably tailored. Whether you’re here for the spa, the slopes, or a martini (shaken, not stirred) of course, this is a hideaway that delivers cinematic style with substance to match. A true secret agent’s sanctuary – minus the tuxedo and Bond villain.
