Located 100 metres from the shore of Lake Zell and 150 metres from the centre of Zell am See, Appartement Living Schönwies offers elegant apartments with free Wi-Fi and an infrared sauna cabin. The Schmittenhöhe Ski Area is 280 metres away and ski passes can be bought on site.

What did we like? Literally everything. Martina was super friendly, apartment was easy to find, beautifully renovated, location is brilliant (quiet but close enough to walk to the centre). Right next to the pool. So this apartment is definitely worth the money and we are definitely coming back, but this time for the big apartment with the terrace :) Oh, and go and try the sauna - amazing relax after active day. Me and my family want to say big thank you to Martina for being this amazing :)

All rooms are designed in a reduced modern style. They are fully equipped with a flat-screen TV, DVD/CD player, and water cooker, and are decorated with naturally treated wooden furniture.

The Steinerwirt houses the art1493 gallery for contemporary art and design. The library features books in several languages and a free internet terminal. Seminar facilities are also available.

Perfect location: I came by train for a 5-day skiing trip. It takes only 4 min. on foot to reach the hotel from the train station, and then a 3 min. walk from the hotel to the cable car. Great, quickly served breakfasts with fresh ingredients and tasty coffee. Well-equipped and clean sauna with a tank on the rooftop A very nice concept of a quiet lounge with comfortable beds and sofas, where you can chill, read and enjoy free beverages (variety of teas, water). The room was clean, spacious and just fine for me.

    The location was perfect! Right on the water, high walkability to the surrounding little town, excellent access to the lake, in the path of the running/walking/bike trails. Feels secluded due to the large size of the building and orientation of rooms to the rest of the building. The room was so lovely, we loved the design details and super spacious closet.

    Excellent comfortable room - spacious - very nice design, warm (controllable heat). Food - breakfast and evening meals were very high standard. Luigi is a great chef - Restaurant staff - Soudor and the team were very friendly helpful and efficient. Christine was a pleasure to meet on reception. So friendly and helpful - she gave a lovely welcome when we arrived. Hotel is in a great location for skiing - very near the lift system and you can ski back to the rear of the hotel at the end of the day.

    I could not believe how lovely this hotel really is. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I was in a single en suite room which was amazingly stylish and well-designed. I loved everything about my stay here and would definitely use the hotel again in the future.

    Luxurious modern rooms, lovely designer decor and magnificent view of the town and lake from the rooms and terrace. Alex and Mara provided an excellent personalized gastronomical service both in the mornings for breakfast and evenings for dinner. The suites are only a few minutes walking distance away from the town centre. We highly recommended it.
