Posthotel Achenkirch

Food is excellent, the staff is genuinely great, and the sauna itself is fantastic. So far, so five-star. But the overall vibe is… confusing. The hotel feels like it expanded wildly over the years and never agreed on a design direction. You’ll walk from “old-school Austrian chalet” to “modern boutique” to “giant chandeliers” to “stone-wall underground cave” in the span of two hallways. It’s not charmingly eclectic — it’s architectural whiplash. The guest mix is equally… cinematic. Despite the eye-watering prices, dinner feels like live theatre: a blend of old-world regulars, guests with an unexpectedly maximalist aesthetic, and the occasional guest ready to escalate because there was coriander in the food. Front-row entertainment included. Now, the part that really took me out: for a place charging €500+ a night and presenting itself as ultra-premium, they don’t provide basic sauna slippers. Instead, you’re asked to buy “eco-friendly” sauna sandals for €20 a pair (Made in Turkey). If this were actually about the environment, they wouldn’t be a marked-up add-on — they’d be included, like in basically every high-end hotel, or at least sold at-cost. Extra irony: the rooms were heated to volcanic levels despite the thermostat being set to "Cooling", so sleeping required an open window. Hard to sell the “we’re doing this for the planet” story while the thermostat is auditioning for the sun. Great core product (food, staff, sauna). Strange, overpriced theatre around it - hard to recommend it from a value-for-money perspective.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel! The food was great, the staff very friendly and I loved the room. I definitely will be back. Thank you for a wonderful time

Great location, great service, amazing views and a great spa! Everything was perfect, and I really appreciate how much effort the team is putting into it. The spa zone is large and very well organized. We enjoyed our stay very much.

I recently stayed at the hotel and overall had a good experience. The facilities were nice and the stay was comfortable. However, there was one issue that left me disappointed. When we arrived, the staff gave us a tour and showed us the area where dinners are served. At no point did anyone mention that dinners were not included in our stay or that there was an extra charge. Even when we went down for dinner, nobody informed us that it came at an additional cost or told us the price beforehand. Only afterward did we find out that we had to pay for the dinner, which was very upsetting. Clear communication from the beginning would have avoided this situation. Aside from this incident, the hotel itself was good, but I believe the staff should be more transparent with guests about what is and isn’t included.

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed the hotel. The food was nice and the staff in the restaurants were very customer focused. And the food was of good quality. However we stayed on the third floor and our room for some reason became really hot during the day. Easily 25-28 degrees. Outside temperature was 15 degrees and it was cloudy. We had to sleep with the balcony doors open in order to cool the room down during the night. We mentioned this to the reception staff, who refused to believe us. After standing our ground finally someone would be sent to investigate. This never happened and they refused to help further. This was very disappointing and spoiled the stay quite a bit.

As a resort spa its first rate. The view of the Alps is amazing. Hotel is not "brand" new but it is modern, clean, and up to date. Service is first rate.

We were a group of 4 adult family members and we had an excellent time at the Posthotel. The staff were warm and welcoming and. nothing was too much trouble. The food is excellent and there are lots of menu choices for people on vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. The waterworld and sauna domains are well planned and extremely clean. There is reasonably good ski-ing close by that is within walking distance. The hotel offers a reduced rate for a daily ski-pass and we bought our passes from the hotel. Unfortunately, we did not realise that there was a reduction for a 3 day pass at the ski centre so it would be better to buy a multiple day ski-pass at the ski-centre.
