The Comodo Bad Gastein
Mid-century Alpine. 1960s–70s modernist palette — punchy colors, terrazzo, oak and pine — meets mountain wellness. Art-forward (the hotel doubles as a gallery) with a design-conscious, urban-leaning clientele.
Book restaurant De Leit well in advance — it pulls locals and foodies from outside the hotel
Why It Matters
One of the flagship hotels of Bad Gastein's ongoing revival. A member of Design Hotels and Marriott Bonvoy, it sits in a Belle Époque alpine village increasingly touted as Central Europe's next creative hotspot. The spa uses actual Gastein thermal water — not just a marketing line — and the restaurant collaborates with Berlin-based chef Max Jensen on a genuine farm-to-table menu.
A former clinic building reborn as a 70-room mid-century design hotel, the cōmodo opened in early 2023 after a full 2022 renovation. Think bold wine and bottle-green tones, original terrazzo floors, oak parquet with underfloor heating, and actual vintage furniture — not the reproduction kind. Bad Gastein itself sits at 1,000 meters in the Austrian Alps, once a playground for European royalty, now quietly pulling a creative crowd back in.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Twin
Ground-floor room with a large private terrace and outdoor furniture — good for morning coffee in the open air. Twin configuration makes it ideal for friends traveling together.
Twin (two single beds, 90 x 200cm each) · 25 sqm
Comfy Signature
Faces the Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade, not the valley. Large windows, freestanding bathtub, private balcony. Good design credentials in a mid-size room — but don't expect mountain drama out the window.
Double (180 x 200cm) · 35 sqmComfy Valley
The entry-level valley view option. Balcony with Gastein valley panorama, vintage chairs, writing desk. Compact at 25 sqm but feels intentional rather than cramped, thanks to the mid-century design.
Double (180 x 200cm) · 25 sqmComfy Valley Plus
Private balcony with valley views, chaise longue, and writing desk. Some rooms connect to standard Comfy rooms — a solid pick for small groups or families wanting adjoining space.
Double (180 x 200cm), optional extra bed (90 x 200cm) · 30 sqm
Family Room
Practical without being dull. Morning sun, a sleeping niche with bunk beds for two kids, and a comfortable double for adults. The only room purpose-built for families with young children.
Double (160 x 200cm) plus bunk beds (90 x 180cm) · 30 sqmGarden Suite
The most premium room type — only two exist. A private balcony with sweeping landscape views, freestanding bathtub, small living area, vintage furniture, writing desk, and a record player. Genuinely special.
Double (180 x 200cm), optional extra bed (90 x 200cm) · 45 sqmSignature Suite
The largest room at 50 sqm. Overlooks the historic Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade rather than mountain peaks — no valley panorama, but plenty of charm. Freestanding bathtub, walk-in rain shower, lounge area, and selected vintage pieces. Only two available.
