The take
The Take
The Vibe
DAS SCHIFF reads like a piece of local history more than a conventional hotel. The nearly two-century family lineage and finely preserved timber construction give the place a quietly authoritative presence: woodwork is structural, not applied, and the building ages into its character rather than chasing trends. The property sits firmly in the older Romantikhotel/Genießerhotel register of Vorarlberg, where intimacy, craftsmanship and a tangible sense of place are the main attractions. Against the backdrop of spruce forest and alpine meadows, the hotel feels restrained, rooted and quietly storied—an intimate, historic retreat that foregrounds regional craft and continuity.
Best For
DAS SCHIFF is best for travelers seeking a quiet, characterful escape centered on history, craft and good food. As a Romantikhotel and Genießerhotel, it naturally suits couples on romantic getaways, anniversaries and honeymoons, and it appeals to visitors who value regional timber architecture and family-run hospitality. The dining room and the property’s emphasis on pleasure make evenings a highlight, so the hotel is particularly rewarding for guests who prioritize leisurely dinners and an immersive, small-scale alpine experience rather than modern resort-style amenities.

Hotel context
How it compares in the Bregenzerwald and nearby alpine set
Genießer - & Romantikhotel DAS SCHIFF is the safer fit if Hittisau itself is the priority and you want a quieter village base with easy booking pressure. Hotel Post Bezau is the more natural cross-shop for travelers who want a better-defined wellness-hotel proposition and are willing to base themselves outside Hittisau.
Hotel Hirschen · Fine Hotel, Restaurant & Spa · Schwarzenberg is the more compelling alternative if restaurant-and-spa clarity matters, while Biohotel Schwanen suits travelers who prefer a sustainability-led hotel identity. Choose DAS SCHIFF when ambiance and a quieter Hittisau stay outweigh the need for a heavily signposted amenity package.
For a more overt mountain-refuge mood, compare HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio Allgäu and DAS.HOCHGRAT. Those make more sense if the trip is built around alpine escape energy; DAS SCHIFF makes more sense if the decision starts with Hittisau and a calmer romantic-hotel format.
