The one time mountain village of
St. Anton am Arlberg was once an important stop on an old trade route over the Arlberg Pass.
The village contained a small inn with the name "Zur alten Post", the proprietor was also a postmaster. At the end of the last century summer visitors began to discover the wonderful landscape and refreshing climate around Arlberg and thus paved the way for tourism.
Tourism greatly increased with the construction of the Arlberg tram and the completion of the almost 11 kilometre long train tunnel. Skiing, imported for generations, built the "Hotel Post" in 1896. His son, Walter Schuler, contracted no one less than the great architect Clemens Holzmeister to expand the house into a Sporthotel in 1928.
The Alber family has been running the four-star hotel for a few years and they go to lengths to maintain tradition as well as provide modern amenities.
The Hotel Post is now celebrating more than hundred years of hospitality, which shows that, after housing generations of visitors, the hotel has not lost any of its appeal.
