Hotel Schröckerhof

Past the small harbor where Hallstatt's ferries cross the lake, Brandweg climbs into the hillside above the market square, and Hotel Schröckerhof sits at the top of that rise with unobstructed views over the water to the peaks opposite. The four-star property suits travelers who want lake and mountain views without lodging inside the crowded lakefront lanes below.

Rooms open onto balconies facing the garden or the water; the spa floor holds a sauna and relaxation area for after a day on the trails. A terrace and sun deck extend the view outward, while family rooms and a play area accommodate travelers with children.
