What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building on Schladming's main square has been an inn and post station for over 400 years; ... gave it an extensive renovation.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Planai gondola is 300 meters away on foot. Cafes and shops line the historic square outside.
The rooms
Rooms are finished with local oak floorboards, natural clay plaster walls, and crisp Austrian linen.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The glass-walled rooftop pool is heated year-round at 800 meters elevation, looking out toward the Niedere Tauern peaks.
The spa
Curved sofas surround a circular open fireplace, and dark glass doors open into saunas with snowball steam infusions.
The gym
Weight benches, a squat rack, and cable stations line the mirrored fitness room beneath recessed ceiling lights.
Bar
JOHANN GENUSSbar
Floor-to-ceiling windows look onto the square, and high timber tables fill with signature cocktails and freshly rolled sushi.
At the table
Vaulted dining rooms serve regional Styrian dishes, and the cellar hosts guided tastings around a long timber table.
How it began
The landmark building retains sixteenth-century stone vaults and inner courtyards beneath an 1830 hipped gable.
