Der Steinerwirt - hangout & hotel
A relaxed hangout-style base in Lofer
About this hotel
Der Steinerwirt leans into a more relaxed, hangout-style identity than the family wellness hotels nearby, with rooms carrying bathrobes and a shower and hairdryer as standard rather than a long spa-facilities list to work through. A sauna covers recovery, and the terrace and balcony give a spot to unwind with the bar close at hand for the evening ahead. The on-site restaurant and free private parking round out the practical side, and the roughly thirty-nine kilometre distance to Salzburg keeps an airport transfer reasonable for a shorter trip into the valley. This suits travellers wanting a laid-back base in Lofer rather than a full-service resort hotel experience with a longer amenity list.

Our take
Couples and younger travellers wanting a relaxed, less formal base in Lofer, with a sauna and bar rather than a full wellness centre, will find Der Steinerwirt fits that mood well across a shorter stay. The bathrobes in every room are a nice, simple touch worth noting. Families wanting play areas or a kids' club should look at Mühlpointhof or Zum Schweizer instead of here.
- Use the bathrobes and sauna combination for an easy, low-effort evening after skiing.
- Sit on the terrace before dinner if the weather allows, it sets a relaxed tone for the rest of the evening.
- Factor in the roughly thirty-nine kilometre transfer from Salzburg when planning arrival and departure times.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the relaxed hangout atmosphere is a genuine change of pace from the more formal wellness hotels in Lofer, bathrobes and a sauna covering the essentials without any fuss at all. The terrace became the natural spot for an evening drink from the on-site bar before dinner most nights of the trip. Free private parking meant the roughly thirty-nine kilometre drive in from Salzburg ended without any hunt for a space in town that evening.
