Keenly attuned to the natural playground that surrounds it, Das Posthotel provides a soothing and luxurious lodging for visitors to Austria's Zillertal Valley.

In times past, Zell am Ziller formed the backdrop to Austria's "gold rush" after the precious metal was found in hills nearby. Nowadays, one is more likely to brush shoulders with winter sport enthusiasts and celebrities here than fortune seekers. The village has retained a natural, picture-postcard look, despite all the changes it has seen over the years and at the forefront of this has been developments like Das Posthotel.

It's hard not to be immediately drawn to the interplay of exposed wood and stone throughout the hotel's interior, a tribute by designer Harald Margreiter to the serenity of the local area. This theme is borne out across the spacious guest accommodations that can be found here, each offering Sky TV, WiFi internet and comfy bathrooms.

A hotel is so much more than just its lodgings, though, and Das PostHotel offers some mesmerizing entertainment options for visitors. At HeLeni Restaurant, guests are invited to chow down on light-hearted yet traditional dishes in a sophisticated setting. These dishes consist of premium local ingredients sourced from nearby farms, ensuring diners a genuine flavor of Austria.
