Hotel Gotthard in Lech am Arlberg hosts seminars and meetings for up to 70 people in a single dedicated room, Rüfikopf, with daylight, modern technology and direct access to the garden. The hotel stands at 1,450 meters in Vorarlberg and is run by the Walch family, now in its third generation. Groups can add a stay with spa, regional cooking and workshops built around the house brewery.
Seminars and company events
The hotel markets itself as a seminar hotel in Lech and builds each offer individually. The official page does not publish packages. Organizers describe the group, the dates and the program, and the hotel puts together a proposal by phone or e-mail. A seminar folder can be viewed and downloaded from the hotel website, which is the best place to check formats before sending a request.
The meeting room offers 100 square meters of working space. The hotel describes modern technology and daylight as standard. The direct access to the garden is meant for breaks, with coffee and small snacks served to keep the group fresh between sessions. Because the hotel is a working family hotel in a ski resort, availability follows the season, and dates in winter and in summer should be requested early.
Rooms and capacities
Rüfikopf is the seminar room. It measures 100 square meters and holds up to 70 people. The official site does not list the layouts, the number of other meeting rooms or the maximum number of people for a banquet, so these points should be confirmed in the request.
Accommodation
Participants of a multi-day seminar stay in the hotel, a four-star superior house with rooms and suites. The site does not state the number of bedrooms. The wellness area includes an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a sauna landscape, massages and treatments, and a fitness room. After a working day, the group can use the spa instead of leaving the hotel.
Catering
The kitchen is the part of the hotel that the family stresses most. It runs its own bakery and pastry shop, and the house serves breakfast, a café, a hotel bar and two traditional dining rooms, the Gotthard Stube and the Lecher Stube. A cooking and tasting program is a natural fit for a team event: the hotel brews its own beer, OMES 2557, and runs culinary seminars on herbs, brewing, bread baking and cooking. These are part of the guest offer, so ask whether a group version can be arranged.
History and setting
The Walch family has run the hotel for three generations. It is located in the center of Lech, in the Arlberg region, a village that works in both seasons. In summer the hotel points to hiking, mountaineering, golf and mountain biking. In winter it points to skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Activities of this kind are easy to attach to a seminar.
Getting there
The address is Omesberg 119, 6764 Lech am Arlberg, Austria. The hotel has a page with directions on its website, and the telephone number for requests is listed there.
