Hotel Alpenburg, a blend of Eastern and Western elegance, was built for the 1998 Winter Olympics. It's a ski-in/ski-out gem with a 60% repeat guest rate. Crafted in authentic Austrian style, it hosted skiing legend Hermann Maier and even Japan's royal couple in the Princess Room. Rooms offer comfort and scenic views, with rates covering breakfast and dinner in the charming dining room. Guests can unwind in the outdoor onsen or enjoy the indoor facilities. With European charm and Japanese hospitality, Hotel Alpenburg is a favorite among Shiga Kogen skiers.
Featuring a more modern design, with slanted ceilings and alcoves, but still retaining the cosy and homey atmosphere, these large rooms are ideal for families. The extra space means a capacity for extra beds, although the room comes standard with twin single bedding. There's also a large lounge space with two comfortable sofas by the window, letting in plenty of natural light, and a television to keep guests entertained. The room also features tea/coffee making facilities and some storage space for luggage, and of course, is fitted with in-room heating.
There's an attached ensuite bathroom, too, with a range of complimentary amenities. Comfortable and inviting, these rooms would also be perfect for couples who like a little extra space, too. Breakfast and dinner included.
