Here we are – Maria and Otto,

... your hosts and proud owners of Das Halali.

An Austrian and a Dutchman; a gin friend and a wine fanatic; both lovers of comfort food, long hikes, black labs and good company. We’ve been married for over 25 years and still feeling as young as when we first met on an island in the South Pacific.

Our passion has always been the hotel industry, having both worked many years for large hotel chains that pulled us and our children to many different corners of the world. It was a most exciting career - and we loved every second of it - but as each year passed, our desire to leave the big hotel business grew as well. We yearned for a step back from fast-paced city living, a shift to simpler joys and a return to nature﹘a place where we could focus on our guests as we believed we should.

After over 30 years in the industry, we decided to take the plunge and start our own business. It had always been our dream, and after a long search we finally found our little paradise; Das Halali, our small hotel in beautiful Ehrwald in the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena.

We aim to offer you the same uncomplicated, friendly and relaxed ambience we have always yearned for ourselves. The hotel is very much a mix of us and all that we love, and we hope Das Halali offers you the same happiness and sense of belonging.
