Traditional hospitality, modern comforts and first-class service are just a few of the things you can expect at the Posthotel Schladming. Starting life as a coaching inn 400 years ago, it's now a lovely family-run hotel where the staff are always smiling. The rooms are decorated in authentic country style, with wooden furniture and warm colours. This theme continues to tthe restaurant where you can sample delicious Styrian cuisine made with regional produce - the desserts are particularly mouthwatering. Across the road is the hotel-owned Cabalou bar where you can sit back with a coffee or a fruity cocktail and swap stories of your day on the mountain. If pampering is more your thing, then you can retire to the wellness area and take advantage of the sauna, steam room, infrared cabin and relaxation room - or treat yourself to a massage or beauty treatment. The Posthotel backs up its excellent service and facilities with a fantastic location in the main square of Schladming. It's close to all the shops, bars and restaurants, and the Planai gondola is just 3 minutes' walk away.
