At the Dolomiten Residence Sporthotel Sillian, every moment feels like a gentle embrace of nature, peace and wellbeing. Embedded in the fantastic alpine landscape of East Tyrol, a feeling of security and genuine relaxation is created here.
Nestled in the majestic backdrop of the Hochpustertal Valley, with a direct view of the imposing Dolomites, lies the Dolomites Residenz ****s Sporthotel Sillian. This 4-star superior hotel combines traditional Tyrolean charm with modern comfort and offers an atmosphere that appeals to both families and those seeking peace and quiet. The proximity to the valley station of the Hochpustertal ski center — only 170 meters away — makes it the ideal starting point for alpine adventures, at any time of the year.
As soon as you enter the hotel, there is a feeling of arrival. It is this mixture of soothing silence, the pleasant scent of wood and herbs, and the warm light that dances softly across the natural materials. The welcome is warm but unobtrusive — professional but never distant. Here you don't feel like just one of the many guests, but like someone you're looking forward to seeing.
The architecture combines alpine comfort with modern understatement. Lots of wood, stone and glass create spaces that breathe — spacious, flooded with light, unobtrusively stylish.

The rooms and suites are a peaceful retreat after a day in nature. Equipped with high-quality materials and a well-thought-out room concept, everything feels harmonious here. The beds are soft but not too soft, the sheets are pleasant on the skin. It is the quiet details that are convincing: the harmonious lighting, the expansive view of the mountains, the quiet crackling of the floor heating after a winter day. Anyone who listens to the sound of the Drava with an open window knows how calming real silence can be.
The kitchen is an experience in itself. Breakfast starts with fresh bread from the village bakery, creamy butter, homemade jam and strong coffee. Everything tastes like what it is — honestly, fresh and prepared with love. The focus on regional ingredients is particularly remarkable: milk from East Tyrolean farmers, fish from clear mountain streams, herbs from the hotel's own garden. In the afternoon, a hearty snack with spicy bacon, homemade cake and tea variations that provide fragrant warmth. Dinner will be the highlight of the day: a 5-course menu that interprets traditional Tyrolean cuisine in a modern way without denying its roots.
The wellness area covers a generous 3,000 m² — and yet every corner feels intimate and well thought-out. The indoor pool with views of the mountains, the natural swimming pond in summer, the fragrant herbal sauna, the steam bath — it's easy to switch off here. Particularly noteworthy is the use of the Tyrolean natural cosmetics line “Magdalena's”, which is based on local medicinal plants. After a massage with arnica oil, you not only feel lighter physically, but also calmer on the inside.
What makes the hotel particularly special is its family-friendliness without sacrificing stylish comfort. The Häppi Päpi Kids Club lovingly and creatively looks after children aged three and over, while teenagers find their own offerings. The separate family area with water slide, baby pool and playroom ensures that even little guests feel completely at ease. In this way, parents can find real relaxation without sacrificing closeness.
The surrounding area invites you to be discovered — at any time of the year. In winter, the skiing day starts almost at the front door. In summer, there are countless hiking trails, mountain bike tours or relaxing walks along the Drava. The Villgraten Valley, one of Austria's most pristine valleys, is just a stone's throw away and rewards with pristine nature.
Sustainability is not billboards here, but lived out. This starts with the use of natural materials, continues through the regional supply chain to the use of renewable energy. The award with the Tyrolean Environmental Seal of Approval is an expression of this philosophy. Anyone who vacations here does so with a clear conscience — without sacrificing comfort.
The Dolomites Residence Sporthotel Sillian is not a place you will soon forget. The overall picture of warm hospitality, first-class cuisine, a spa for relaxation and an environment that is both quiet and powerful at the same time is too harmonious.
