The Concept

Imagine an escape in an intimate family-run and elegant hotel, available to only a handful of guests, where you can enjoy unrivalled privacy, exceptional cuisine on demand included in the rates, a reading butler who sources your favourite books, a day packed with art & culture, fresh powder runs in winter, beautiful nature hikes in summer, a cinema under the stars… Or you could stop imagining and simply ask for an invitation?

Restaurant

We have 65,392 restaurants. Well, not exactly, but given that we can offer what you want, when you want, wherever you want it, the options are almost endless. Our Unlimited Gastronomy service takes our already renowned culinary flair to the next level. Whether you wish to savour a healthy nutritional vegan plate, a traditional Austrian meal paired with a regional wine, enjoy Crêpes Suzette at 3pm at a comfortable private table set up or have a brunch at midnight while our butler reads A Movable Feast to you and Dean Martin’s Blue Moon plays in the background, the choice is yours and yours alone. What’s more, it’s all included!

Private Spa Suite

In case you missed it, privacy is paramount at Kristiania Lech. As a result, you can enjoy our retro-chic spa all to yourself. Leave your worries (and everything and everyone else) at the door and immerse yourself in Susanne Kaufmann’s Austrian organic and sustainable products, an après mountain ritual treatment, a spa bath of bliss…and perhaps a bottle of Champagne under our Jacuzzi’s disco ball?

Limited Rooms & Suites

With only 15 rooms & suites available, Kristiania Lech will not merely look private, it will sound private too. All categories exude elegance and comfort, while expressing our delightful artistic attitude… and if you find it too quiet to sleep, you can call our sleeping butler who will create an atmosphere that is just right for you.

Meet the Artist

We pride ourselves in creating unique and memorable experiences that deliver a smorgasbord of sensations and this season will be even more remarkable than usual. By converting a selection of suites into private galleries that celebrate our outstanding artists in residence, and placing creative surprises throughout our hotel, you will find something new and inspiring around every corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Small Luxury Hotels – withIN always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $50-100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
