Value & Pricing
Hotel Tannenhof is positioned at the very top end of the luxury market, and its pricing reflects this exclusivity. It is considered "fantastically expensive."

Prices can range from approximately $1,688 to $2,220 per night, with gourmet holiday packages for two starting around €1,800. This all-inclusive luxury model contributes significantly to its perceived value, offering a truly worry-free opulent experience.
Common Complaints
Given its Michelin Two-Keys status and 5-star superior rating, explicit "common complaints" are rarely highlighted in publicly available reviews for Hotel Tannenhof. The consistent theme across guest feedback points to an exceptionally high standard of service and amenities, aiming to anticipate and resolve any potential issues proactively. Any criticisms, if they exist, tend to be highly individual and not recurring issues. The high price point, while a factor for some, is generally understood to be commensurate with the level of luxury and inclusiveness offered.

My fiancé faith and I visited the restaurant in the hotel last week. Initially we were only going for a few drinks (the list of wines by the glass and by bottle is exceptional, probably one of the best in St Anton, with also many cocktail options as well). While the sun was out we sat outside for a few drinks, as the view from deck of the hotel is outstanding. The staff was also very attentive, ...

We came for dinner as external guests- two children 7 & 9 and two adults. The food was superb. The children had a wonderful time in the library entertaining themselves playing chess and snooker. The staff were AMAZING - Victoria bent over backwards for us, as did Jakob and Magdalena and Tom was awesome. The chef even came to the table! We loved everything we tried, and we all had fun playing snoo...

We have stayed at luxury destinations around the world and have never experienced the level of customer service as this hotel. It was remodeled from a previous 34 room hotel and they re-used many materials incredibly tastefully. With only 7 rooms we can’t wait to come back.

The hotel itself was stunning, with just 7 rooms, an incredible spa and Michelin-star-worthy food options. Given that there are only a few pet-friendly hotels at this level of service we were initially hesitant as to what the experience woul...

Of the many 5 star hotels we’ve stayed at, Tannenhof really stands out. Everything was truly exceptional - the room, spa, and most of all the unmatched service. Every single person at Tannenhof was 10 out of 5 stars in terms of being warm, friendly, and helpful. This is the best hotel experience we’ve had. We can’t wait to come back.

the hotel offers service at the highest level! Every wish is read from your lips.
