A look back: A journey through the history of the hotel

The success story of this 4-star hotel in the Arlberg region began with its founder, Martin Jochum (born 1885). On 28 January 1928, Martin Jochum passed the licensing examination for the hospitality and pub trade, thereby laying the foundations for one of the most historic hotels in the exclusive holiday village of Lech.
