Hotel Stadt Wien, Zell Am See, Austria

· ski-in · 6 minutes' walk down to the resort centre · 3 minutes' walk to the City Xpress gondola · less than 1 minute's walk to the ski bus stop

On a hill overlooking the village of Zell am See, the family-run Stadt Wien is a firm favourite for its friendliness, food and facilities. Not to mention, you can ski right back to it at the end of the day.

It’s got a modern feel but with traditional touches too, like the chunky pine furniture and panelling in the bedrooms and the weekly Pinzgauer dinner with entertainment. Of course, good food is a must too – they even keep chickens so you can look forward to fresh eggs at breakfast.

In the afternoons, swap the slopes for the spa and wind down in the heated outdoor pool, sauna and steam room, or challenge someone to a game of table tennis or table football in the games room. Then cap off the night with a drink in the bar.
