SCOUT REVIEW
One of the oldest hotels in St Anton, the Schwarzer Adler dates back to the 1550s. It was built by the Knights of St. John on Arlbergstrasse with the stones from the “Arlen” ruins, as a Tyrolean inn for travellers and wagon drivers. In 1885, the hotel was bought by the Tschol family whose 5th generation still owns and manages the hotel today. Although each generation of the family has gradually upgraded, remodeled and modified the hotel to conform to the era, the history and tradition of the hotel has never been compromised. Today, the hotel has an authentic old world charm despite being equipped with modern facilities and amenities, including the best spa in St Anton. It is truly one of the iconic hotels in St. Anton.
The Schwazer Adler hotel has 72 rooms ranging from single rooms to suites. The rooms vary in size depending on the type of room but even the single rooms are quite ample in size. The rooms are a mix of different styles, most of which have now been renovated to a modern contemporary alpine style while a few are still remaining in the outdated traditional Austrian style with splashes of pastel colors. All the rooms are equipped with modern amenities such as flat screen TV with cable service and wi-fi access (which is reportedly a little slow in some rooms). Those rooms located on the higher floors on the mountain side get great views and are nice and quiet. Schwazer Adler also has some 2 bedroom apartments in a separate building just steps from the hotel. The apartments feature a small kitchenette and living area and area great for families looking for self-contained accommodation but with access to wonderful hotel facilities.
The hotel’s smart dining room (which has earned mentions in the Michelin Guide) serves a 5-course menu or vitality menu as part of the half-board rates. There’s also a traditional Stube a la carte restaurant in a 400 year old parlour or at the opposite end a more modern and informal “lifestyle” restaurant called Aquila. If you are a wine connoisseur the hotel holds wine tasting sessions in its wine cellar. The hotel has a lounge area equipped with a fireplace where you can relax or mingle with other guests.
The Schwazer Adler’s wellness area has undergone a massive transformation in recent years and is stunning. It features a lovely outdoor, mountain facing pool, a huge indoor pool as well as the usual aromatic saunas and steam baths, a variety of wellness baths, numerous beauty treatments, and relaxing massages. It has a gym and relaxation areas.
One of the best services of Schwarzer Adler is geared towards little guests making it great for families with small kids. It has a brand new, huge play-area where kids can enjoy their own activities with supervision provided free of charge for all guests (for kids aged from 3yrs). It’s available daily from 3pm, except Saturdays. (Childcare before 3pm is offered for a fee). They can jump around in the “Fun Box”, spend time playing video games, and interact with other kids at the table soccer. The kids can even have their meals in this area for an additional charge.
Schwarzer Adler offers Tyrolean warmth and hospitality, reflected in its impeccable and personalized service. It is a hotel that values families and makes certain that each one’s needs are met. No wonder, the hotel has been serving the community and guests from all over the world since the 1550s.
Who should stay here
Schwazer Adler is great for older couples because everything is just a walk away, and for families with young children because of its kid’s facilities.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
