Meet the Watschinger-Steiner family

A Home Filled with Heart

At Hotel Royal, you're not just a guest – you're part of the family. For decades, the Watschinger-Steiner family has dedicated their care and love to every corner of this alpine retreat. Two generations work hand in hand to create a place where lasting memories are made.

Michl Steiner

As head chef and master pâtissier, Michl crafts delicious dishes with heart—from freshly baked bread to elegant dinners, always with a creative, personal touch.

Astrid Steiner - Watschinger

Owner Astrid is a trained sommelier with extensive knowledge of wine. She is Michl’s wife, and together they passionately run Hotel Royal.

Mama Maria

Decorating is my passion! I love filling the house with beautiful flowers and having a friendly chat with our guests. My favourite place is our garden, where I lovingly take care of all our plants.

Vati Bernhard

Father Bernhard loves tinkering and fixing things – he’s the behind-the-scenes handyman. If something breaks, you can count on him to make it work again.

Living hospitality

Astrid and husband Michl run Hotel Royal in Sesto together with Astrid’s parents, Maria and Bernhard – with heart and genuine passion.

We want you to feel right at home here in Sesto. Our goal is to pamper you completely – with delicious food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and maybe even a story or two shared in good company.

“We work hand in hand to give you a dreamy holiday – filled with heart and joy.”

Astrid & Michl

Creating a connection

In our family-run hotel, you’ll feel welcome from the very first moment. Mama Maria tends the garden and quietly keeps things running smoothly, while Vati Bernhard loves to share stories – and many on our team have been part of the Royal family for years.
