Hotel Zentral, Kirchberg, Austria

· 2 minutes’ walk to the ski bus stop (shuttle service runs every 15 minutes and takes 5 minutes to get to the lifts) · 4 minutes’ walk to the resort centre · 10 minutes’ walk to the Gaisberg lift · 10 minutes’ walk to the ski school meeting point

Hotel Zentral’s a stylish base for your ski holiday, tucked down a quiet street in the centre of Kirchberg. You’re close enough to the action for après drinks and shop mooching, but far enough back for proper downtime. The ski bus stop’s just a few minutes away on foot, and from there it’s a short hop to the lift. Back at the hotel, off-slope hours are well covered – start with a session in the Finnish sauna or steam baths, then maybe book in for a massage or treatment if you fancy.

Inside, it’s a fresh spin on traditional alpine style – light wood, soft colours and mood lighting that hits the cosy-but-modern sweet spot. Every room’s got a balcony with mountain views, and the whole building leans into that chalet look, with cream walls and timber balconies that glow softly in the evenings.

Breakfast is a help-yourself affair with a solid line-up – eggs, bacon, pancakes, fresh pastries, fruit, yoghurt and more. Fancy upgrading? Half board gets you a 4-course dinner, with a mix of Austrian favourites and crowd-pleasing classics, plus a buffet of starters to kick things off.
