Apartmenthotel Sonnenhof - Maria Alm am Steinernen Meer

Alpine basecamp in Maria Alm with rooftop wellness and direct access to ski trails

Rooms & Accommodations

Apartmenthotel Sonnenhof houses family rooms with separate sleeping areas, kitchenettes, and balconies facing the Hochkönig massif. The two-bedroom apartments include parquet floors and soundproofed walls between units, as observed in guest feedback. Standard apartments come with full cooking facilities, allowing for self-catering stays after day trips to Natrun Adventure Mountain. The property's only laundry option requires prior coordination with the owners, who offered the use of their private washing machine to guests.

Dining & Breakfast

The hotel's breakfast service prioritizes organic and locally sourced products, with regional meats, homemade jams, and fresh breads served daily. Guests consistently cite breakfast as a differentiator, with one review noting "fantastic breakfast" and another highlighting "regional and homemade products" as the reason for their return. Special diet menus are available upon request, and the dining room opens onto the garden terrace during warmer months. Apartmenthotel Sonnenhof does not operate a full restaurant, so evening meals are self-catered using in-room kitchen facilities.

Wellness & Relaxation

A rooftop wellness area provides panoramic views across the Steinernes Meer while housing the sauna, spa lounge, and relaxation zone with sun loungers. Spa facilities include a full wellness centre with treatment rooms, plus a dedicated sun terrace with outdoor furniture. The rooftop placement is unique among local properties, allowing guests to combine thermal bathing with alpine vistas. The spa area operates on a quiet-hours policy, ensuring a silent environment throughout the day.

Family & Kids Facilities

Sonnenhof provides a dedicated children's playground and an on-site sports field, which occupy a sunny corner of the garden beside the picnic area. Family rooms connect to create larger living spaces, accommodating up to five people in the superior category. The property offers board games and table tennis, while the shared lounge/TV area hosts evening entertainment supplies. Walking tours and bike tours depart directly from the hotel, with kids' bicycles available for rent at the front desk.
