Our take
I recommend Europäischer Hof Bad Gastein to couples and families who want a large spa built around thermal water, the reason Bad Gastein became a spa town. The four-star superior hotel has an indoor thermal pool and an extensive wellness area, and gourmet half board means dinner is taken care of after skiing. Ski storage is on site, and the Hohe Tauern peaks surround the valley. The 8.7 rating from 1,079 reviews makes it a dependable choice.
- Make the most of the 1,800 m² spa area; the thermal pool is a perfect way to unwind after skiing.
- Opt for the half-board option to enjoy the gourmet cuisine without having to plan dinners out.
- Utilize the ski storage facilities to keep your gear secure and ready for your next day on the slopes.

Why guests love itThe EUROPÄISCHER HOF gave us a classic four-star superior stay in the Gastein Valley. The huge spa and indoor thermal pool were where the whole family ended every ski day, and the kids loved the warm water. Half-board dinners were genuinely gourmet, which made evenings easy with no need to go out. Ski storage was handy, and we even tried cross-country skiing one afternoon for a change of pace.
