Post Schlössl

The Hotel Post, which reopened in 2006 after extensive renovations, is an old postal station tucked into a small square just behind Lermoos’s picturesque church. The hotel (owned by the Dengg family since the 1700s) has an annex across the street, the Postschlössl, a handsome square mansion built by the wealthy postmaster and predating the Hotel Post by 200 years. Although the Postschlössl has great character (especially its wide, vaulted central hallway guarded by suits of armor), ask for accommodations in the Hotel Post because here, without a doubt, you will be treated to one of the finest views in all of Austria. You enter into a spacious lobby with walls accented by mirrors and old paintings, wood-beamed ceiling, and Oriental carpets on tiled floors. The hotel has a luxurious Tryrolean feel with wood paneling and rich country fabrics; no expense has been spared. The spacious rooms vary is size from 44 to 127 meters. There are a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, golf and skiing in the winter. But you might prefer to stay in and enjoy all the ammenities the hotel has to offer, such as the lovely spa, pools, library, bar, cigar lounge and the fine restaurant offering a wide range of culinary dishes. Plan to stay a while.

Post Schlössl is a nationally listed building and an architectural treasure. This stately home, which dates back to 1560, has been restored with great attention to detail and has been furnished and equipped to the highest standards of comfort. The entrance hall alone will make the heart of the connoisseur beat faster with its ancient walls and arched ceiling – suffused with light and with all the panache of a grand building. Antique furniture has been collected together over the centuries and many of the favourite pieces of the Dengg family have found a home here. They lend the ’Schlössl’ - small castle - its own particular atmosphere of quality combined with tradition. But for all its history and elegance, the ’Schlössl’ is exceptionally comfortable, and a perfect dream. For quality does not derive from what it claims to promise, but from its delivering what it has promised. A wooden staircase leads to the small number of apartments and suites.

No two suites are the same, and each one offers something unique. Guests will discover generously proportioned suites, fairy-tale rooms with tiled stoves, small, cosy nooks with panoramic views and beautifully appointed apartments with and without kitchens. There is, in addition, a much valued bonus for guests staying in the Post Schlössl. They are able use the spa area, the fine bars and restaurants, and the sun terrace of the Hotel Post, only 50 metres away.
