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.

They’ve got relaxation all sewn up too, with two spas to choose from. First up is the Venetian-themed spa. Spread across three floors, it’s got all the saunas, steam baths and relaxation rooms you could want – plus, an indoor pool with frescoes of gondolas on the walls. Then to add some knockout views to the mix, check out the rooftop Summit spa. It’s adults-only and the outdoor infinity pool is just the spot to soak up the scenery after a day on the slopes.
