Cozy hotels are those that make you feel right at home, treasured, and pampered. Following are some of the coziest hotels you never heard of. We love these hotels and hope you will too.
Kristiania Lech (Lech, Austria)
Nestled in the Austrian Alps, Kristiania Lech feels more like a cozy home than a high-end hotel. Near the center of the ski resort town of Lech, the hotel sits in a perpetual winter wonderland. With 29 lavishly decorated rooms with original art, the hotel has plenty of charm along with spectacular views of the Alps.
Your personal ski guide will show you the best downhill runs and cross-country routes in the area, and after an exhilarating day on the slopes, you’ll retire to your room and a massage followed by champagne. When you’re ready for dinner, you’ll enjoy amazing international cuisine with the finest wines and service. If you prefer to stay in, you’ll find plenty of shopping options, hair salons, and even a church.
Cotswold House Hotel & Spa (Chipping Campden, England)
One of the most stunning countrysides in Europe is the Cotswolds. Its lush, colorful, and peaceful gardens and meadows are the perfect setting for Cotswold House. Billed on its website as the perfect hideaway, the staff indulges and pampers you from the moment you enter. You have your choice of cozy Cotswold House Cottages with private gardens and hot tubs, as well as Cotswold House Suites with private sitting rooms and log fires.
You’ll enjoy true English countryside food, from crusty bread to Cornish fish, as well as the usual afternoon tea and before-dinner cocktails. In keeping with their desire to pamper their guests, Cotswold House has partnered with Temple Spa to bring you top-of-the-line body and skin treatments including massages, facials, and aromatherapy.
Schlössle Hotel Tallinn (Tallinn, Estonia)
The Schlössle Hotel Tallinn is a medieval hotel that takes you back in time with luxury and refinement. The hotel features thick stone walls and the amazing wooden beams you would expect from a Medieval-period building. The owners and staff pride themselves on maintaining as much of the traditional lifestyle as possible, integrating it with current technology and amenities. The cozy yet airy rooms are full of antique furniture and plush linens, and a personal butler will fulfill your every wish, including drawing a luxurious, hot bath.

Dine in the Stenhus restaurant and allow the chef de cuisine to prepare traditional food for you to enjoy near the fire. If the weather permits, you may also dine in the courtyard garden and enjoy the lovely scenery and vibrant colors.
