Every member of staff I encountered, from receptionists to chefs, breakfast manager and cleaners, all without exception were lovely as well as extremely good at their jobs! It made everything easy and incredibly enjoyable. The hotel could also not be more perfectly situated in relation to the bus station, train station, tourist office and centre of town.

The Grand Hotel Zell am See is a 4-star superior hotel in a unique location on its private peninsula at the shore of Lake Zell and features a private beach with a sunbathing lawn, as well as a modern rooftop spa area offering panoramic views.

Great location with a very friendly and helpful staff. The front desk was kind enough to schedule a taxi service for us so I didn't have to struggle with speaking German to a taxi company. Food was excellent, room was spacious and quiet. Location is breathtaking with lots to do.

    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.

    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.
