Das Central - Alpine. Luxury. Life, Solden, Austria

· next to the resort centre · 10 minutes' walk to the nearest lift · free shuttle bus stops outside · 2 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point

The 5-star Das Central is the height of luxury in Sölden. It's just steps from the resort centre and 10 minutes from the lifts. And it's beautiful inside and out, with a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern elegance.

There's lots to love for foodies too, from the luxury breakfast buffets to the 5-course evening feasts. If you really want to spoil yourself, try the à la carte restaurant Ötztaler Stube – chef Michael Kofler is famous for unique creations that are more art than food. Or if you fancy something different, you could also join a fondue evening in the wine cellar, where you'll be surrounded by a collection of 30,000 bottles.

Another highlight is the Venetian-themed spa. Spread across three storeys, there's an impressive variety of saunas, steam baths and relaxation rooms – plus an indoor pool with frescoes of gondolas on the walls.
