Description: Operational vacation from January 6, 2026 to March 27, 2026
Like a small holiday island, **Das Traunsee – Das Hotel zum See **S is situated in a wonderfully quiet location, right by the lake and at the same time in the historic town center of Traunkirchen. Run by the Gröller family for three generations, the house offers award-winning cuisine, warm hospitality, and a commitment to sustainability.
The hotel holds both the Austrian Environmental Label and the EU Ecolabel and was awarded 6 stars and 95/100 points in the Falstaff Hotel Guide 2025 – making it one of the best addresses in the country and the second-best hotel in Upper Austria.
All 39 rooms and suites offer stunning lake views and balconies, bathrooms or showers, WC, hairdryer, radio, TV, mini-safe, minibar, coffee machine, as well as a beach bag, backpack, and yoga mat for your stay. The seven lake suites with direct lake access are unique on Lake Traun.
In the Bootshaus restaurant, guests experience top-notch cuisine at the highest level. Head Chef Lukas Nagl, Gault Millau Chef of the Year 2023, delights with creative, regionally rooted menus.
The Bootshaus has received numerous awards:
Michelin 2025: 1 Michelin Star & Green Star for sustainability
Gault Millau 2025: 4 Toques and 18.5/20 points
Falstaff 2025: 4 forks and 99/100 points
Hotel guests enjoy an exceptional gourmet pension – prepared from the same award-winning cuisine. For the perfect wine pairing, Katharina Gnigler, Gault Millau Sommelier of the Year 2025, ensures a perfect selection.
In the Panorama See-Spa, guests can relax with views of the lake: various saunas, relaxation areas, and direct access to the private bathing jetty provide pure relaxation. Beauty and cosmetic treatments as well as massages round off the offerings. Additionally, mountain bikes, e-bikes, kayaks, and SUPs are available for free rental.
In winter, the hotel is ideally located – just 7 km from the Feuerkogel ski area and centrally located to over 20 atmospheric Salzkammergut Christmas markets.
