Traditional Tyrol retreat in the heart of the Ötztal

• Steeped in history: Once a place of peace and refuge for King Ludwig of Bavaria, The Posthotel Kassl is a family-run retreat with 17th century roots. This historic castle building still retains its traditional sense of charm, but has since been transformed into a relaxing wellness hotel with stylish conveniences and soothing spa facilities. Equipped with modern amenities, the beautiful guest rooms and suites are the perfect place to enjoy the fragrant smell of pine wood as you take in the breathtaking views from the balcony.

• Alpine spa oasis: Soothing its guests since the 19th century, the Posthotel Kassl has continued to develop itself into a true wellness paradise. Soak up the views of the Acherkogel as you float between the heated outdoor and indoor pool, or head to the oldest wing of the house to indulge at the 1605 spa. Here you can relax amid the balmy heat of the Finnish sauna, organic herbal sauna, infrared cabin, brine and aroma steam bath, and more. To top it all off, enjoy a soothing optional massage and feel your worries drift away.

• Top Tyrolean cuisine: Following the culinary ethos ‘Back to the roots, appreciate your homeland’, the restaurant provides its guests with a range of delicious regional delicacies, thus earning itself the Bewusst Tirol quality seal. The menu reflects the traditions of the region, with the restaurant working with local farmers to create mouth-watering dishes using local, seasonal ingredients. Tuck into the restaurant’s local lamb specialties as you sip from a glass of fine Austrian wine.
