My wife and I stayed at Sporthotel Radstadt for a week during a trip to Austria for skiing and fun in January 2024. (We are from the US.) The experience could not have been better – it was everything we hoped for. Here is what to expect: Prior to arrival, I had many questions. I submitted them via email. All questions were answered within eight hours. Expect responsiveness. The hotel has about 42 rooms – not gigantic, which is great. Expect no lines at breakfast and to use the saunas, to check in, etc. Expect this in the rooms: - Good size (not teeny, tiny) - Good beds and linens - Very clean - Quiet - Lots of hot water - Good water pressure - The bathroom floor is heated! - Plenty of towels, a bathrobe and slippers - There is soap in the room, but no skin moisturizer/lotion - European electrical outlets (they use Type F and Type C plugs) at 230 V The staff has been there several years. A couple leads the team. All hands are unfailingly responsive, professional, conscientious and extremely pleasant. The “vibe” from the staff is almost like you are an honored guest staying in their big house. They are a close-knit team – almost like an extended family and they are so very welcoming to the guests. The chef, Mario, is very, very good. The meals we ate at the hotel were fantastic / amazing. Everything isn’t schnitzel and sausage. We also took a cooking class that Mario led – we learned how to make Apple Strudl. Very fun. The hotel has its own bar which is a lot of fun. If you ring the giant Alpine cowbell, expect to buy a round of drinks for everyone in the bar. That’s the rule. There are several saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, etc. The hotel has two vans for transport to the local ski areas – there are several ski areas within ten to fifteen minutes of the hotel, and several other areas 25 – 60 minutes away. (I do not know how far the van will take you.) There is a separate warming building next to the parking lot where you keep your skis, poles and boots. (The boots go on a warmer / dryer – you get nice warm, dry boots each morning!) We were part of a sixteen-person group (eight couples). The hotel handled the group easily. The center of town is a ten-minute walk. We had a fantastic time and would stay there again. I hope we do.
