Our stay at Design Hotel Miramonte in Bad Gastein was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a beautifully designed space that blends modern elegance with a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are stylish, comfortable, and offer breathtaking views of the mountains—waking up to that scenery was a dream! The hotel’s spa and wellness area were the perfect retreat after a day of exploring, and the food was simply outstanding—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special, always attentive and friendly. Whether you’re here for relaxation or adventure, Miramonte has everything you need for an unforgettable experience. I can’t recommend it enough—definitely a 10/10

Breakfast was delicious! I am not vegan, but the vegan dishes were amazing! The sauna was perfect after a full day of skiing! The staff was extremely professional and friendly! The views from the hotel were wowing. The shuttle service to the slopes was wonderful. The hotel itself had very cozy and quaint feel to it. The bed was super comfortable and the ski room had warming boot hangers!

The hotel is definitely very nice. But some things are not very practical. I understand it’s a design hotel, which doesn’t go hand in hand with practicality, but for example, a full body mirror would be nice to have in the room. Also, the bathroom is very spacious, which is nice, but the lighting was very dim. And last but not least, and this probably only affects 1% of visitors, the wifi in the room was practically nonexistent. If you are on a true vacation, this shouldn’t be an issue at all. But I had to work evenings, and it was challenging.

Everything was great. The room was tiny but really perfect for us. Bed a bit soft but we slept like babies: the pillows, duvets and bedsheet are super. The breakfast is varied and the offer is very wide. In the price you also have the afternoon soup and cakes, which goes ahead until 17:00. Great relaxing area with many many architecture books and bar with excellent view over the mountains. Two saunas available, with floating resting beds or just hanging seats outside on the balcony. As a plus, if you are into hiking, the trail to reach Graukogel starts just behind the hotel.

There were no glasses or mugs in the sauna area during our stay (3 days), therefore it was impossible to drink water or tea that are there available to guests. We brought our bottles.

TOP! - hotel shuttle service to train station, complimentary cake and soup in the afternoon, amazing breakfast until 11.30, comfy terrace to sit outside in the sun, sauna area and spa treatments for relaxation - it doesn't get any better than this

This hotel is incredible for short- and longterm stays, breakfast is amazing, additional lunch is a great option and a dinner was just delicious. The room was squeaky clean and comfy, the spa area was nice with options of the massage, scrubbing, facials and thermal baths. All in all this hotel is great, feels like little American home in such a quiet beautiful place. I saw a lot of the people being pissed here in the comments about the WiFi, but for me it was actually not a problem. The WiFi works great in a lounge area and restaurant.

Honestly, can’t remember any disadvantages😌

Very cute hotel - mix of old and new. The common area was very cool. The breakfast was the highlight of the stay for me, probably the best one I’ve ever had at a hotel! Good location, nice view and very nice staff. Sauna and relaxation area was good. They offer really nice soap, shampoo and lotion in the rooms. I would definitely book this hotel again!

Maybe the that the rooms have really small tv and an “old” bathroom with a bathtub shower.

I liked the design of the hotel (especially the placement and the collection of the books all around the hotel), and my room was large and well designed and decorated. The location was great and the breakfast exceptional with many health options. Going to people now, all the staff was great and friendly and the lady who owns the hotel was exceptionally friendly and helpful with an amazing positive energy. Her husband was very professional and courteous, too. Finally, we really liked the other guests in the hotel. There was a superb vibe and energy in the place.

There was hardly anything that I didn’t like. Some parts of the hotel saw their age. The parking area is rather small with very few slots. Eventually, I parked on the road by the entrance so not a big problem.

Bad Gastein is built on either side of a steep gorge. Understandably, getting around involves at least some climbing or descending, or both. We took a taxi from the station which was a good decision. If we had known that the hotel could provide a free shuttle we could have saved the fare! The hotel is perched on the mountainside and definitely has an alternative, boutique vibe going on, evident on arrival from the enormous "All You Need Is Love" banner hanging from the top to the ground floor. The 50s/60s/70s throwback theme was consistent throughout the hotel with its enormous collection of photo books on display for perusal. A mixture of Beat Generation - Summer of Love - Hippy coffee table books alongside architecture and design... Hardly surprising in a hotel owned by an architect. For us it worked well, with an easy, relaxed, boutique dynamic, friendly staff and great food. Dinner was extremely good, friendly waiters, relaxed pace. Breakfast was a sumptuous buffet, very tasty and really nicely presented. We had paid extra for a room with a terrace which had a swing seat and hammock and incredible views up to the mountains above, across the town, and down to the valley below. The weather wasn't great on our first day, but we made the most of the terrace nonetheless. The room was spacious and fairly modern, although there was a definite 70s retro look and feel in the bathroom and in the corridors - think Grand Budapest Hotel in its later 70s incarnation. The corridors and stair wells are painted quite a dark shade of grey which occasionally created a slightly depressing/sinister 'The Shining' feel, but it was consistent with the retro feel of the whole. We didn't use the spa facilities, so can't comment on these, but from a wander down the spa corridor with its various treatment rooms, it was clear that the mood here was Eastern mysticism and alternative therapies.

Decor and design are very personal, but if it were up to me I might rethink the dark and dingy corridors and stairs. No need to feel depressed or slightly creeped out on holiday...! Otherwise it all worked really well and the outside terrace with fire pit ad BBQ area was fantastic.

The location is fantastic and the food (breakfast, lunch & dinner) was exceptional. We only booked breakfast initially, but after looking at dinner tables we opted for full board. Spa treatments were nice but nothing special, room was comfortable and clean.

A mirror in the entrance area or somewhere in the room would have helped 3 ladies a lot sharing one room together. One mirror in the bathroom just was not enough.

It is an excellent place to take the vacation! I haven't felt this welcome and relaxed in a very long time! It has perfect location, the terraces with views are providing a lot great and comfortable places to relax and the extra bonus in form of small "jause" with tasty soup, home made bread and cakes was just topping the amazing experience! Thank you for great stay, it was very enjoyable!
