“The regular guests who witnessed it still talk today about how she sat with them in the sauna as normal,” says Benjamin Schneider, who was still a boy at the time and is now in the third generation together with his parents and husband Patrick Krummenacher runs the Hotel Arlberg, located in the heart of Lech. It’s an almost unbelievable story that the most photographed woman in the world at the time behaved like any ordinary hotel guest, not only at the spa, but also at the half-board meals in the parlor.
Requirement of utmost discretion
Lady Diana was able to do it because guests and hosts at the Arlberg are used to not making a fuss about the reputation and status of those sitting next to them, be it at the bar, in the restaurant or in the sauna. The Princess of Wales, who was harassed by paparazzi throughout her life, liked this so much that she and her sons came to the Hotel Arlberg for a skiing holiday five times. On the photo wall in the passage between the hotel bar and the hunting hall, which is decorated with the trophies of Benjamin Schneider’s grandfather Johann, her portrait is the only one that does not show a member of the hotelier’s family.
