Hotels in Murau

Hotel & Chalets Mountain Resort Frauenalpe is the Murau address I recommend to families who want space and independence: family rooms and chalets come with kitchens, balconies, private bathrooms and mountain views. Outside there is a sun terrace, a garden and an outdoor fireplace, and the hot tub and sauna take care of the evenings. The restaurant serves traditional Austrian cuisine, and free bicycles are available in the warmer months. A 9.6 score from 145 reviews is outstanding.

Hotel Käferhube is a peaceful mountain retreat above Murau, about a 10-minute drive from the Kreischberg ski area, and its 9.6 rating felt right to us. Our room had panoramic mountain views and a furnished balcony where we had coffee every morning. The ski storage room kept gear organised, and dinners at the restaurant were relaxed and hearty. The spa area is available for a surcharge, and we treated ourselves once. Quiet and lovely.

Hotel Rosenhof was a comfortable, country-style base near Murau, with the Kreischberg ski region about a five-minute drive away. Our spacious room had a flat-screen TV and lovely countryside views. After skiing, the spa with its outdoor sauna was a highlight, steaming in the cold air, and the large garden was great for the kids. Dinners at the traditional Austrian restaurant were hearty and delicious. Free WiFi too.

Brauhaus zu Murau is a historic hotel on the banks of the Mur River, and its brewery heritage gave the stay real character. After days in the snow, the spa area with its sauna, steam bath and infrared cabin was the perfect way to warm up. Dinners at the restaurant featured traditional Styrian dishes and local beers, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Rooms are wheelchair-accessible. Charming, cosy and full of local flavour.

Egidiwirt was a comfortable, family-friendly inn in Murau. Our soundproofed room had a private bathroom, so everyone slept well even on busy nights. The restaurant served Austrian and international dishes, and the bar was a cosy spot afterwards. Ski storage was handy for days out, with the KLH-Arena and the Krakautal both nearby. On sunny afternoons the kids played in the garden while we sat on the terrace. Warm and practical.

Gasthof Lercher sits in Murau's Old Town, and our room had views of the Schlossberg that we enjoyed every morning. The wellness area with saunas and light therapy was a lovely way to recover after active days. Cross-country trails and sled runs are a short walk away, which our kids loved, and the ski bus stops nearby for downhill days. Dinners of traditional Styrian dishes at the restaurant were a highlight. Free WiFi too.

Hotel Alpin gave our family a room with a private bathroom, mountain views and free WiFi, comfortable and modern. The indoor play area was a lifesaver on cold or snowy afternoons, and the kids would happily have stayed there all day. Breakfast offered both continental and buffet choices, and the restaurant and coffee shop made it easy to eat on site. On sunny days the terrace was nice for a drink. Practical and family-friendly.
