Das Central Sölden: Where Alpine Precision Meets 007 Glamour

27th January 2026

This five-star Tyrolean gem delivers award-winning wellness facilities including a heart-stopping infinity pool and culinary excellence that rewards every muscle-aching moment on the slopes. Tucked away in one of the Ötztal Valley's most storied ski villages, Das Central Sölden represents a compelling study in modern alpine hospitality.

It became a private playground for the glitterati, including Frank Sinatra, Kate Moss and George Clooney. Here, rock stars swung from chandeliers, and a young Roger Moore could be found whirling across the dance floor.
