The Elizabeth Arthotel, a five-star ski-in/ski-out hotel in the heart of the Austrian Alps, marks its 50th anniversary with a season-long celebration of exclusive events, exhibitions, and guest experiences. Reopened for its milestone half-a-century season, the landmark Ischgl hotel has launched The Art of Legacy, as tribute to its rich heritage and signature style.
The 2025/26 season unveils a new rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the final slope into Ischgl, a series of new guest experiences and a major legacy exhibition exploring over five decades of the hotel’s history, design and family heritage. Now an adult-exclusive destination welcoming guests aged 16 and over, the Elizabeth is Ischgl’s only five-star hotel, offering direct ski-in/ski-out access, a rooftop infinity pool and spa, fine dining, an and one of the region’s most extensive wine collections, alongside curated art experiences and VIP services.
With Ischgl recognised as one of the Alps’ premier ski resorts for its long snow-sure season, 239 km of pistes, cross-border skiing to Switzerland and vibrant après-ski scene, the hotel provides guests with a unique alpine adventure, paired with refined comfort and five-star luxury.
Founded in 1976 by Günther and Elisabeth Aloys, the Elizabeth Arthotel has played an important role in shaping Ischgl’s reputation as a world-class destination. Today, under the leadership of their daughter Mirjam Aloys and her husband Markus Pfister, the family-run hotel continues to uphold this tradition, in a contemporary style that is complemented by culinary and artistic excellence.
Their family legacy reaches back even further – to Mirjam’s grandfather, Erwin Aloys, who built Ischgl’s first cable car in 1963, helping to establish the resort’s modern identity.
As part of its anniversary celebrations, the hotel presents The Art of Legacy – Fifty Years at Elizabeth, a special exhibition opening in early December that traces the hotel’s story in Ischgl through rare photographs and materials from the Aloys family archive. After the launch event, guests can join weekly guided champagne art tours to discover the moments and people behind the Elizabeth’s story and evolution. A virtual exhibition will also be available, extending access beyond the hotel’s walls.
Launching this season, the new panoramic rooftop terrace will host Golden Après Fridays – a signature end-of-week gathering featuring music, champagne and mountain views, celebrating fifty years of Elizabeth’s style and Ischgl’s famous après-ski scene.
After 50 years, the Elizabeth Arthotel remains a defining presence in Ischgl – a place shaped by family, tradition, luxury and an unwavering dedication to exceptional guest experiences.
