Hotel Hochschober 4.3 4 reviews

I've been holidaying at this hotel for over 15 years with different members of my family and it has never disappointed. The atmosphere is fantastic - the moment I enter the hotel I feel I've come home. The staff is very experienced and attentative, the service is very personal and aimed at making you feel relaxed from the moment you step into reception. The facilities have developed over the years to an extent which I haven't found in any other hotels and I do stay in a lot of very nice ones. Even if the hotel is busy, you cannot feel with lots of rooms to relax in the spa areas. I so much love the 'Zirben Sauna', very traditional and still my big favourite!
Last Jan we went with a big group of people for a long weekend celebrating a birthday of our friend and we had a great time. The table was all organised in a slightly quieter part of the dining room, which made it lovely for all of us to sit together and even when we were the last ones at dinner, the staff put together cheese platters for us so we wouldn't miss out if they were starting to clear up. We all agreed the attention to detail is incredible.
If I'm there with family or a group of friends the owners are always very warm and welcome and the staff has never disappointed, with some of them having been there for a long, long time and it's always a pleasure seeing them again.
I can very much recommend this hotel and will continue going there at least once a year!

At the end of a road to nowhere through the Austrian Alps, we found this amazing place! It was perfect to kick back after all the sightseeing. The ski resort is smallish but pleasantly uncrowded. No halfpipe.

We have been travelling to the Hochschober for over 30 years, initially as a young couple, then with our 3 children, now in their teens and early twenties. Having travelled for business and pleasure to top hotels in 4 continents, we keep returning to this hotel for the very high quality of its facilities, food and service. There is a uniquely comfortable atmosphere conducive to total relaxation the minute one arrives.
The resort is small, but beautiful in each season and offers a great number of outdoor opportunities at different times of the year. Whilst the mountains might not present the stunning scenery of the high alps, hiking and skiing are varied and exciting enough for a week's family holiday. They are fortunate in their micro-climate which has given us good snow every year, and the warm summers of southern Austria guarantee good sun-bathing and swimming in the lake - although that too is partially heated in the winter!
Food is exquisite, plentiful and varied, and there is a great wine list too. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped. Leisure and spa facilities are extensive and spacious. Staff are highly-trained, attentive and good fun.
But you could say the same about many hotels too, so what is special about the Hochschober? Well, it's the attention to detail, the familiar, homely feel to the hotel; the fact that the staff really engage with both management and guests to ensure that the Hochschober constantly renews and improves itself. It really does offer something for everyone, from young singles to grandparents, from those who can't sit still to those who just want to curl up in front of the log fire with a book.
It's so good that we always book one year ahead to guarantee our room the next time!

From the moment we walked in we knew we were in good hands. Even staff who weren't on duty took time to help us out. The town itself is smaller than we're used to and bit off the beaten path and that was perfect for us but might be a bit disappointing for somebody looking for a big ski resort. At the same time we've never seen so much on offer in a single hotel anywhere else in the world so the detour was well worth it.
