MITTERSILL Hotels

Schwarzenberg Hotels – Hotel Gasthof Hirschen

The distinctive 18th-century wooden-shingled inn, set in the centre of the village, has something for everyone. Families come for skiing, locals drop in for a drink, and in the summer it is popular with couples. The old house is traditional, but the annex very modern. The restaurant is popular with locals. 6867 Schwarzenberg. Map

Seefeld Hotels – Hotel Viktoria

Paul and Andrea Kirchmair run one of Austria’s smallest 5-star hotels. Quality abounds, although the taste sometimes inclines to the kitsch, with extravagantly themed suites like the chocolate-boxy Montmartre, the Dolce Vita, with bold colours and Spanish avant-garde furniture, and the 5 Tibetans, with its Chinese screen, black lacquer furniture and bold red flower fabric. 6100 Seefeld, Geigenbühelweg 589.

Sebersdorf Hotels – Hotel Schlosshotel Obermayerhofen

In the family of the Counts Kottulinksy since 1777, this fine castle has been a hotel only since the mid-1980s. Accommodation is wonderfully luxurious, with four-poster beds and lavish bathrooms. Chandeliers, a marvellous 18th-century jungle fresco and a private chapel add to the opulence. 8272 Sebersdorf.

Weissenkirchen Hotels – Hotel Raffelsbergerhof

Smothered in wisteria and vines, this village inn used to be a ship-master’s house, and the horses that pulled the barges up the Danube were stabled here. It is full of intriguing objects collected by the present owner’s father; even the light-fittings are worth a second look. Charming bedrooms. 3610 Weissenkirchen.

MITTERSILL Hotels – Hotel Nationalparkhotel Felben

Children’s activities, a profusion of farm animals, large bedrooms and heated pool make this perfect for families. 5730 Mittersill.
