Lifestyle Hotel Eder

What an absolute find Hotel Eder was for our 2025 skiing week. In over 20 years of skiing, this hotel surpassed all others and we absolutely loved everything about it. The staff were amazing; so friendly, caring and hard working. Number one amongst a fabulous team was our regular waitress, Melanie; she was just lovely, generous and thoughtful. The hotel itself is decorated, with no expense spared, in a tasteful pleasing design and was both contemporary, but cosy and welcoming too. Our room, albeit relatively small, was kitted out in a design to make use of every area, including ideal under bed storage for ski bags and loads of convenient pegs to hang your gear up on. The chambermaids did an excellent job and our room was immaculate and serviced to a high standard daily. The hotel is situated the shortest of walks to the ski lift which is ultra modern with hundreds of lockers to store your ski gear throughout your week. After a fantastic day skiing we came back to our hotel and were soon in the most amazingly hot swimming pool and jacuzzi area which led to a cooler outside swimming area. Just stunning and perfect to help soak away aching muscles. Wha made this beautiful hotel stand out though was the food! We were on a half board basis. The breakfast was outstanding with absolutely tonnes of choice and the dinner….well we were basically eating a five course menu in a fine dining restaurant every evening. It was stupendous. The menus (set menus for classic and vegetarian) were varied and exciting to eat with top quality cooking to enjoy daily. Our daughter, who is vegetarian was blown away with the choice for her and our entire party ate like kings all week. We must have put on a stone each this holiday. The diet starts Monday! Bottom line, if visiting Maria Alm then you’d not do better than this amazing hotel. We are sad to be leaving in the morning. A final comment. This is a family run hotel and it was lovely to see the management walking the grounds daily just checking all was good. They and their team provided a level of service beyond comparison of many and they should all be proud of their amazing achievements. We’d highly recommend you stay at this hotel for your skiing or summer holiday.

Parking was a significant inconvenience and the hotel had many guests that smoked cigarettes on their balconies which I could smell in my room. Very unpleasant. It was also very noisy in general. All in all not a hotel for me and it was expensive.

The Eder Hotel gets better every year. The location, ambience and decor are all exceptional. We have just had a fantastic stay with our boys celebrating a special birthday. Sepp and his wonderful family made it an extremely memorable day. The whole staff team go above and beyond, the service and hospitality is amazing. In particular Simon who served us at dinner, the girls at breakfast who were super smiley and friendly and the omelette chef were all outstanding also Monica who serviced our room to a very high standard of cleanliness. Thank you Team Eder! We will be back!
