Hospitality since 1570.
The home of hospitality
Built by the Knights of St. John, the typical Tyrolean inn “Zum schwarzen Adler” soon became a stopover place for travellers and merchants on their arduous journey over the Arlberg. Hospitality is our hotel’s origin, so to say. And every generation has expanded the house and adapted it to the respective time. Today, Hotel Schwarzer Adler is a place for socialising where people enjoy the bright side of life. Our hotel looks back on 540 years of uninterrupted tradition of hospitality.
The Tschol Family: passionate hosts!
Actually, everything happened thanks to Vinzenz Tschol. He bought the building 130 years ago, together with a liquor licence. Today, he probably would recognise neither his village nor the building, only the surrounding mountains. The Tschol family witnessed the beginnings of alpine skiing and the village turning into an internationally renowned winter sports resort first hand in over 100 years.
Today, Klemens Tschol runs the house in the fifth generation – with vision, love of his country and open-mindedness; just like his great-great-grandfather did back then.

Vinzenz Tschol with a vision
A house with a colourful past
The unique frescoes on the facade are witnesses of a colourful past. In 1555, the house was built with stones from the ruin of castle Arlen where once Heinrich Findelkind had been living. From 1570, the house was a stopover place for merchants and travellers and was given the “real innkeeper’s licence”, the liquor licence at that time, by Empress Maria Theresia. Later on, the inn served as accommodation for tunnel workers. Vinzenz Tschol bought the house on 4 May 1885 and ran it with prudence and vision for many years.
We look forward to Adler Moments full of
enthusiasm, passion and hospitality.
It is part of our family heritage.
How old is Hotel Schwarzer Adler?
The history of Hotel Schwarzer Adler dates back to 1570 – first as an inn, later as a hotel. It is one of the oldest guesthouses in St. Anton am Arlberg and one of the most tradition-rich family-run hotels in Tyrol.
Who runs Hotel Schwarzer Adler?
The hotel is run by the Tschol family, now in its fifth generation. Genuine hospitality and a warm, family atmosphere remain the heart of the house to this day.
Are there several hotels named Schwarzer Adler?
Yes, the name „Schwarzer Adler“ has been common in the region for centuries. Hotel Schwarzer Adler in St. Anton am Arlberg (Dorfstrasse 35, Tschol family) is, however, independent of hotels of the same name in, for example, Kitzbühel, Innsbruck or Pettneu.
What makes the Schwarzer Adler special?
The Schwarzer Adler combines Alpine tradition with modern luxury. The unique blend of ski-area proximity, an extensive spa, authentic hospitality and more than 450 years of history makes the house one of the most remarkable 4-star superior hotels on the Arlberg.
Is the hotel wheelchair accessible?
Due to the age of the main building, which dates from 1570, the hotel offers only limited accessibility. We recommend discussing individual needs directly with the hotel in advance.
Is the hotel committed to sustainability?
Yes, Hotel Schwarzer Adler is a partner of the Climate Alliance and follows sustainable operating practices. Details of the hotel's sustainability initiatives are available at www.schwarzeradler.com/nachhaltigkeit/.
