Seehotel Das Traunsee

Top choice in The Salzkammergut


Seehotel Das Traunsee is the prime address in Traunkirchen. It's contemporary, bright and with a stunning location on the lake, where you can relax on deckchairs in warm weather and listen to the lapping waves.

The rooftop suite has two bathrooms, and virtually all have glass windows to the bathroom (and curtains for the sake of modesty). If you're not admiring the view to the bathroom, you're probably enjoying one of Gmunden, which is visible in the distance along the lake. The tastefulness of the rooms is complemented by Restaurant Bootshaus, a culinary highlight in the region and beyond.
