What you did not know about Hotel Zum Gourmet.
Hotel Zum Gourmet stands on land shaped by centuries of agricultural tradition, pilgrimage culture, and Seefeld's transformation from a monastic village into a celebrated Alpine retreat.
Before the hotel took shape, the land belonged to Seefeld's outer agricultural ring, meadows that provided grazing ground for cattle, hay for winter survival, and essential resources for local families. Shepherds guided livestock across these fields in summer, while farmers harvested grasses for barns that once dotted this very hillside. In medieval times, the land lay close to routes used by pilgrims journeying to St. Oswald's Church, drawn by the famous Miracle of the Host. Pilgrims, monks, and merchants passed through these meadows, connecting the sacred heart of the village to the surrounding highlands. The plateau's climate, sunny, dry, and open, made it ideal for producing the hay that sustained village life. Woodcutters, hunters, and herbalists also relied on the land and nearby forests. They gathered timber for building, sought game for food, and collected medicinal plants that early Alpine communities depended on. During the 16th and 17th centuries, Seefeld grew in importance as a religious stop and a trade waypoint, but the land where Hotel Zum Gourmet now sits remained agricultural. It hosted hay sheds, grazing patches, and seasonal storage structures essential to the plateau's survival. The gentle rise of the land made it ideal for drying hay in the sun, long before it became a scenic viewpoint for modern travelers. In the 19th century, Seefeld entered its early tourism era. Travelers seeking clean air, natural beauty, and restorative climate visited the plateau. Agricultural land near the village slowly transitioned into potential lodging sites, especially areas offering quiet surroundings and views. When the railway arrived, Seefeld expanded rapidly. The land beneath Zum Gourmet shifted from farmland to prime hospitality ground. The location, peaceful, sunlit, close to nature yet near the village center, made it ideal for a hotel that would eventually embrace wellness and culinary abundance. In the early 20th century, winter sports transformed Seefeld's identity. Cross-country skiing took root and later grew into international prominence. As tourism increased, hotels replaced former meadows, and the parcel that now holds Hotel Zum Gourmet evolved into a refined accommodation site. Over time, the property developed into the all-inclusive, wellness-oriented hotel it is today, honoring Seefeld's agricultural heritage by offering a modern version of nourishment, care, and comfort. Today, beneath its dining rooms, spa spaces, and balconies lies a history shaped by farmers, pilgrims, early tourists, and the natural cycles of the Seefeld plateau.
