The Regina Hotel, Bad Gastein, Austria

• Unrivalled excellence: Designed to “to bring the cool and the cultural out of the city into the mountains” with the keen eyes of Munich interior designer Nora Witzigmann and the artist Patrick Timm, The Regina Hotel oozes boutique bohemian glamour. Not content to conform to expectations, here you can cosy up by the fireplace in the Chimney room, sink into the Jacuzzi in the spa, settle in for a classic movie in the cinema, or soak up some fresh mountain-top Vitamin D on a sun lounger on the Sun Deck.

• Around-the-clock Alpine offerings: The Regina Hotel is open for decadent breakfasts, long dinners, fancy high tea, and, obviously, cocktail hour. The airy main restaurant, Regina, offers a daily changing à la carte menu full of a fusion of Mediterranean, Austrian and German flavours, with seafood and grilled dishes using the best of local ingredients in an elegant atmosphere.

• Moments of calm in the mountains: The small and elegant Regina Spa has a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a Jacuzzi all under soothing mood lighting. Between steaming, recline on a daybed in the newly designed relaxation area with fresh fruit, local spring water and a glossy selection of magazines on hand to lull you into a deep relaxation. For those warm summer days or to cool off from a ski session, head to the the garden and terrace of the Sun Deck where you’ll find sun loungers and a very chilled vibe.
