Hotel Central, Zell Am See, Austria

· in the pedestrianised town centre · 5 minutes’ walk to the City Xpress gondola · 5 minutes' walk to the ski school meeting point and nursery slopes · 5 minutes' walk to the ski bus stop · 5 minutes' walk to the lakefront

If you like to be in the centre of things, you can’t do better than the Cella Central. It’s right in the heart of Zell’s pedestrianised Old Town so all the shops, bars and restaurants are on your doorstep, and it’s only around 5 minutes’ walk to the gondola or lake too.

Dating back over 500 years, this is one of the oldest buildings in Zell. And they’ve kept some traditional touches, like the friendly service and the classic food served in the restaurant. Breakfasts are included, as are your evening meals 6 nights a week. These will be a 4-course set menu most nights, with a possible fondue night once in the week. And you'll always find the perfect wine to pair with your plates – the hotel was originally an office for controlling wine imports, and they keep the cellar very well stocked these days.

You can relax like a local as well, whether that means wandering to the small spa for a spell in the sauna and hot tub or bee-lining to the bar to kick off après with some live music.
