Sport & Spa Hotel Strass Residence, Mayrhofen, Austria

· in the resort centre · next to the Penken gondola · ski school meeting point and nursery slopes at the top of the Penken gondola · 5 minutes' walk to the Ahorn cable car · ski bus stop next door · 6 minutes' walk to the train station

Convenient central location, extensive spa facilities and a mix of bars and restaurants offering diverse cuisines – the Strass Residence has plenty going for it.

You’re right next to the Penken gondola here – your gateway to the Zillertal, one of Austria’s most famous ski areas. And when you’re not carving up the slopes, there’s loads to keep you entertained. The spa spans three floors, with a big sauna area for over-16s featuring a pool, hot tub and a variety of saunas – plus some unique ways to unwind. Families have their own spa space too, where swimsuits are required. There’s a kids’ pool for splashing, a sports pool for laps and even more saunas to choose from.

The rooms here are all about modern comfort. Think neutral cream walls paired with solid wood, warm lighting and the occasional sophisticated pattern for a stylish finish. That look runs through the rest of the hotel too – and don’t miss those mountain views. The fitness room’s panoramic backdrop might just tempt you into workout.

Breakfast is a buffet affair, included with your stay, but the rest of the day is yours to explore the à la carte restaurants on-site. Start with the hotel’s very own Asian restaurant and pizzeria. For après drinks, head to the Ice Bar, or keep the night going at Liebie’s Sports Bar.
