Kensington Mums reviews: Press review*
The Experience
Nestled in the stunning Austrian Alps, Alpin Juwel offers a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and family-friendly experiences. From the moment we arrived to Salzburg we got picked up by the Hotel pick up service straight to the hotel. We were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views. The hotel’s unique architecture, crafted with natural materials like wood and stone, created an authentic alpine atmosphere that felt both luxurious and eco-friendly.
The Stay
Alpin Juwel boasts 76 beautifully designed rooms and suites, each offering a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Kensington Mums stayed in the Fischer Ski Suite, which fits 2-4 persons and features natural wooden interiors, a spacious balcony with mountain views, and the renowned Samina Power Sleeping System, ensuring a restful and healthy night’s sleep. We particularly liked that the wireless internet in the room is switched off from 11.00 pm – 7.00 am (must adapt this at home too). The room also has a Grander water fountain in the room, which means kids were able to stay hydrated at all times.
The Kids Club
For families, the Juwel Courtyard and Kids Club provided endless entertainment for the little ones, while parents could unwind in the AJ-Veda Spa, where Ayurvedic therapists from Sri Lanka offered holistic treatments with 100% natural herbal oils. Alpin Juwel also offers childcare services during peak seasons, a kids’ playland with billiards, arcade games and a room for arts and crafts. The hotel also offers a Juwel courtyard where kids can play and enjoy trampolines fun! During the summer, The hotel offers guided family hikes. The Joker Card, which are included with your stay, provides free access to mountain lifts and local attractions, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings during the summer time.
During the winter season, the ski slopes are only a 5-minute walk from the hotel, so families can enjoy ski school for little ones, tobogganing, and night skiing shows, just to name a few.
The Food
The hotel’s Indulgence Concept focuses on organic and regional products, free from additives and industrial ingredients. We started each day with a sensational breakfast buffet, featuring freshly baked spelt bread, homemade jams, and an immune-boosting juice station.
Lunch and afternoon snacks offered a range of Austrian and international dishes, while the Gourmet Dinner Experience in the Soulfood Show Kitchen was a true highlight. From homemade spelt ravioli to freshly caught fish and indulgent desserts, every dish was crafted with care and passion. The kids also enjoyed the afternoon snack which was included in our stay from 3pm-5pm with a selection fo soups, salads, hot dishes and cake.
The Wellness Experience
The 800m² wellness area was a true sanctuary. The Over the Edge Pool with stunning views of the Alps was perfect for a relaxing swim, while the outdoor panorama sauna and steam bath helped us unwind after a day of hiking. For those seeking deeper relaxation, the Ayurveda treatments and holistic spa experiences were truly rejuvenating. Kensington mums was treated to a nice facial while the kids enjoyed a swim in the indoor heated pool.

Kensington Mums met up with the owner Alex, who explained to us in detail the concept he created along with his wife and two children. One thing we enjoyed learning about is the hotel’s commitment to sustainability, from chemical-free cleaning methods to their zero-waste kitchen concept.
