Hotel Maiensee – St Christoph, Austria
The Austrians are famous for their hospitality, and this family run hotel could not be more welcoming. Stephan Traxl, his sister Andrea and their team go out of their way to make your stay as inviting as possible, with their personal attention and refined Alpine style. And then there’s the location. Right on the piste in the heart of St Christoph, next to the St Christophbahn lift, you can ski from the front door, out into the legendary and vast Arlberg ski area. Add to this a refined Tyrolean cuisine and a homely atmosphere, and you’ll see why many guests book time after time.

food
We love the food here. The emphasis is very much on locally produced ingredients and traditional dishes given a modern reinterpretation. Breakfasts are a feast and will most definitely set you up for the day. Then in the evening, enjoy an aperitif at the 1901 Lounge & Bar before a delicious and traditional Tyrolean dinner in the Maiensee Stuben. The Maiensee Burger Bar is a popular stop for lunch for guests and non-guests alike – perfect for those after a quick and casual bite.
