Why you should experience Bentleys House in Zürs am Arlberg, Austria.
Bentleys House is where ultra-privacy, chalet-level luxury, and the rare quiet prestige of Zürs come together to create a stay that feels intimate, refined, and completely attuned to the rhythm of life in one of the most exclusive ski villages in the Alps.
Tucked discreetly into the snowy heart of Zürs, Bentleys House occupies a position that feels both central and hidden, a place where the slopes are just steps away, yet the atmosphere is hushed, insulated, and designed for travelers who value peace, discretion, and the comfort of a true alpine residence. From the outside, the property radiates contemporary chalet elegance: warm natural woods, refined stonework, soft lighting glowing against winter white, and a sense of architectural calm that blends seamlessly into the mountain landscape. Unlike a traditional hotel, Bentleys House is composed of individual chalets and luxury suites, giving it an exclusive residential charm from the very first glance. Step inside and the experience becomes even more immersive. Interiors balance alpine tradition with modern sophistication, soft neutral palettes, plush fabrics, warm timber tones, fireplaces that crackle softly through the evening, expansive windows capturing the snowy quiet of Zürs, and furnishings chosen not to impress, but to soothe. This is the kind of space where you immediately exhale, settle in, and feel at home in a level of comfort that borders on the indulgent. Accommodations at Bentleys House are exceptional. Each chalet and suite is designed with spaciousness, warmth, and privacy in mind. Expect large living areas, generous seating, elegant dining spaces, fully equipped kitchens, fireplaces that anchor the room with soft glow, and bedrooms that feel like sanctuaries, plush bedding, crisp linens, ambient lighting, and balconies or terraces overlooking snow-draped slopes and the serene Zürs village. Bathrooms are luxurious and beautifully appointed, deep tubs, walk-in rain showers, stone or marble finishes, heated floors, soft lighting, and amenities that transform simple routines into rituals of ease. Breakfast is served with the discretion and ease that define the entire property. Whether delivered to your chalet or enjoyed in the intimate dining spaces, expect artisanal breads, fresh pastries, top-quality cheeses and meats, eggs prepared to your preference, fruit, yogurt, cereals, juices, and rich Austrian coffee. It's unhurried, private, and tailored to your morning rhythm. Dinner, when arranged, can be enjoyed at nearby restaurants, but Bentleys House also offers the option of private dining or in-chalet culinary experiences that elevate evenings into quiet, elegant celebrations: regional alpine dishes prepared with finesse, international favorites, delicate starters, rich mains, and desserts that comfort. Wine pairings are thoughtful and often sourced from Austria's renowned vineyards, leaning into the high quality that quietly permeates every part of the stay. The wellness facilities at Bentleys House are a rare delight for a property of its intimate size. Expect a serene spa area with saunas, steam rooms, a relaxation lounge, and a beautifully designed indoor pool that feels peaceful, atmospheric, and perfectly aligned with the quiet luxury of the chalets. Treatments can be arranged to suit your needs, massages, body therapies, facials, and sports recovery options designed for skiers returning from long, demanding days on the Arlberg. In winter, Bentleys House becomes a dreamlike basecamp for exploring the legendary Arlberg. Zürs offers some of the most reliable snow in Europe, and the lift connections give you seamless access to carving boulevards, off-piste routes, powder bowls, ridge traverses, scenic glides into Lech, links to Stuben, and the vast terrain of St. Christoph and St. Anton. The skiing is extraordinary, the snow is consistent, and the energy of Zürs remains hushed and refined, even on bluebird days. Returning to Bentleys House after skiing feels like stepping into a private alpine oasis, quiet hallways, warm lighting, the scent of firewood, and a deep calm settling through every space. In summer, the property becomes an elegant mountain retreat framed by wildflower meadows, forested pathways, and high-alpine hiking routes that begin just outside the village. Days unfold into ridge walks, lake visits, panoramic viewpoints, and quiet wanderings through the untouched landscapes that make the high Arlberg feel almost meditative. Evenings settle in with long golden light, cool air drifting through open windows, and the deep silence that defines Zürs outside the winter season. Through every moment, the service at Bentleys House stands out: discreet, warm, intuitive, and shaped by a staff who understand the meaning of true luxury, presence without intrusion, attentiveness without spotlight, kindness without pretense. Bentleys House is private, luxurious, atmospheric, elegant, quietly exclusive, and ideal for travelers who want the best of Zürs, slope-side access, intimate comfort, and the feeling of having a personal alpine home, wrapped into one extraordinary stay.
What you did not know about Bentleys House.
Bentleys House sits on land shaped by centuries of alpine pasture, ancient Walser movement, and the early development of Zürs as one of the first true hubs of Austrian skiing.
Long before luxury chalets rose in Zürs, the land beneath Bentleys House served as summer grazing terrain for Walser settlers, families who moved livestock up the mountains during warm months, following paths that now resemble modern trails and ski routes. The natural bowl around Zürs offered both sunlight and shelter, making it an ideal place for herding livestock and storing supplies for winter. Over centuries, this area developed subtle networks of footpaths, storage sheds, and pasture divisions that shaped the topography still visible today. In winter, the valley was deserted, buried under massive snowfall, isolated from the rest of the region, and accessible only to those capable of navigating perilous mountain crossings. Yet it was precisely this snow abundance that drew early ski pioneers in the 20th century. Zürs became an experimental playground for the first Austrian ski schools, early lift construction, and a growing community of winter adventurers. The land that would eventually become Bentleys House sat close to these early routes, ideally positioned near ski paths that later evolved into formal pistes and chairlift alignments. When Zürs gained an international reputation for snow quality and exclusivity, the property's location made it a natural choice for developing a high-end, chalet-style retreat. Bentleys House honors this blend of heritage, maintaining the privacy of its pastoral past while embracing the refined luxury that Zürs has cultivated over decades.
How to fold Bentleys House into your trip.
Bentleys House becomes the private, elegant, residential heart of your Zürs experience, where mornings begin in the quiet glow of the Alps, days unfold into world-class skiing or hiking, and evenings melt into firelit serenity.
Start your morning with a peaceful, made-to-order breakfast delivered directly to your chalet or enjoyed in the intimate dining area, fresh breads, pastries, cheeses, eggs, fruit, yogurt, cereals, and coffee prepared exactly the way you like it. In winter, walk just a short distance to the lifts and carve your way into the Arlberg, wide pistes, powder fields, panoramic ridge lines, forest routes, and long inter-village journeys linking Zürs with Lech, Stuben, St. Christoph, and St. Anton. Return in the late afternoon for sauna time, a swim, or a private in-chalet massage before sinking into your living room with a fire crackling and snow falling softly outside. In summer, spend your days hiking wildflower valleys, ascending ridges, tracking sunlight across alpine meadows, or exploring panoramic routes with uninterrupted mountain views. Afternoons drift into quiet hours reading on your terrace, relaxing in the spa, or enjoying the stillness that defines Zürs outside the winter rush. Evenings are warm, intimate, and restorative, private dinners, curated wines, soft music, the glow of your fireplace, and the luxury of feeling completely at home in the high Alps. Bentleys House becomes not just where you stay, but the private, refined, soul-soothing essence of your entire Zürs experience.
