PICTURESQUE ISLAND FEELING ON LAKE TRAUN
In the heart of the Salzkammergut, the Gröller family welcomes guests to their 4-star superior hotel. All 39 rooms and suites have a magnificent balcony lake view.
The Mini-See-Suites and the Salzkammergut-Suite on the ground floor have direct access to the lake and the hotel's own jetty (the only hotel with direct access to the lake). A lakeside spa, including panoramic saunas and steam bath as well as an in-house beautician (health treatments and massages), awaits guests in a direct lakeside location.
RESTAURANT BOOTSHAUS
Lukas Nagl (Chef of the Year 2023), Katharina Gnigler (Sommelier of the Year 2025), and their team craft exceptional dishes at the award-winning Bootshaus restaurant, guided by the innovative concept ‘Changing Values – Letting Go’. Ingredients are presented as authentically as possible, using high-quality, regional produce.
Every day, the kitchen team (awarded 4 toques by Gault Millau 2025) draws inspiration from the abundance of the lake, alpine pastures, and mountains. In summer, guests can enjoy their meals on a stunning lakeside terrace. Just a few steps away, at the Poststube 1327 tavern, visitors can indulge in modern Austrian tavern cuisine, as well as food sharing and casual dining in the new Belétage with its bar.
LAKESIDE HOTEL AT THE GATEWAY TO THE SALZKAMMERGUT
The magnificent natural landscape of the Salzkammergut offers numerous activities and excursion destinations worth seeing.
The ceramics town of Gmunden with the world-famous Orth Castle or the imperial town of Bad Ischl are within easy reach.
Sports enthusiasts will find the best water sports facilities at the hotel (kayaks and SUPs). New lakeside spa with panoramic saunas, steam bath and relaxation area as well as access to the private bathing jetty. Hiking and cycling tours start right on the doorstep (mountain and e-bike hire), golf courses and much more in the immediate vicinity.
The Kranabethhütte on the Feuerkogel
The cable car takes you leisurely up to the Feuerkogel mountain station. From there it is only a few minutes' walk to our Kranabethhütte at 1530 metres above sea level, which welcomes you with two cosy dining rooms and a wonderful sun terrace. Here we will spoil you with delicious home cooking, impressions of fine Austrian cuisine or typical hut dishes.
The view of Lake Traunsee and the Tote Gebirge mountains all the way to the Bohemian Forest is simply indescribable! A marvellous hiking trail runs right next to the hut. In winter, the Feuerkogel family ski area starts right on the doorstep.
