The medieval lake-side town of Zell am See is one of Austria's most appealing summer and winter resorts. Its huge international popularity rests on its hard-to-beat setting on the shore of a beautiful lake at the foot of the 2,000-m Schmittenhöhe.

You'll be staying at the 3+ star Hotel Steinerwirt situated in the centre of town and a short walk away from the famous Zell lake and the many shops, bars and restaurants. All rooms come complete with en suite bathrooms and flat screen tvs. The staff are particularly friendly at Steinerwirt and will help make you feel welcome. The hotel also offers a high standard of food with traditional Austrian dishes as well as food from around the World. Free internet is available in every room and each room has a hairdryer.

The 500 year old Steinerwirt was recently renovated as a contemporary hotel with some really nice touches. The hotel doubles up as a gallery with amazing art displayed throughout (many of the paintings are available for sale). There's also a library on the 1st floor and a great chill out living room called the 'Think Tank' where you can lounge on comfortable chairs or couches and read. A large roof terrace is open for any one to relax and view the surrounding lakes and mountains. In fact, weather permitting, you'll enjoy an exclusive rooftop barbeque on one of the evenings. The hotel restaurant not only provides a great standard of cuisine, it also has a public terrace for an end of day coffee overlooking the town centre. Quite simply, we love this hotel and it's no surprise that it features in the book and website '500 Very Special Hotels' as well as the Michelin Austria Guide.

From the hotel you can walk to the spectacular lake in less than a few minutes. Guests can get free passes to the Lake leisure area and enjoy lazy afternoons swimming in either the lake or pool. The lake offers rowing, water skiing, windsurfing and countless other activities. The foot of the Schmittenhöhe mountain is also just a short walk from the hotel where you can choose one of dozens of sun-drenched routes for hiking or take a rest in one of the mountain bars. The hotel has a very nice bar area as well as outdoor terrace. As a guest of Steinerwirt you'll also be able to use the nearby Sport Alpin Hotel's spa which includes a sauna, steam room and swimming pool.

The nightlife is particularly good with a selection of classy bars such as Hangar B17 and Crazy Daisies as well as some more lively bars like Flanigans with live music and bar sports.

The Kitzsteinhorn glacier is only a 25 minute bus ride away and one of the highest points in Austria with views across the alps.

Lake Zell is used for adventure weeks, hiking, biking, sailing, windsurfing and ski/snowboard trips.
