Hotel Der Salzburgerhof, Zell Am See, Austria

· 5 minutes' walk to the resort centre · 10 minutes' walk to the City Xpress gondola · hotel shuttle bus stop outside · 10 minutes' bus ride to the nursery slopes

Only a short walk from the resort centre and minutes from the shore of Lake Zell, the Salzburgerhof lets you enjoy a quieter setting while still being close to the action. It’s only a 10-minute walk to the City Xpress gondola and the hotel shuttle bus stop is directly outside as well, so it's easy to get to the nursery slopes and ski school.

The hotel has a charming, traditional feel with a touch of 5-star luxury. The wood and stone buildings houses Austrian-inspired rooms, with pops of colour and luxurious soft furnishings throughout.

Another highlight is the restaurant, which serves up Gault & Millau-awarded dishes made with the best local ingredients. The dining room is spacious, but wooden furniture and small nooks for tables give it a warm and intimate feel. Pair your meals with a beautiful view out to the feng shui garden through the large windows that line the room.

When you’re not on the slopes, head to the Wellness Schlössl spa for a a dip in the pool, a relaxing massage or a break in one of the many saunas or steam rooms. If you can’t get enough of the scenery, the outdoor hot tub has more great views of the lake and mountains. Pop to the fitness centre if you fancy a workout or take the scenic route and go on a guided hike or Nordic walk to explore the surrounding area more.
