About Hotel Alphof

Enjoy the rustic charm and relaxed atmosphere at the cosy Hotel Alphof. It's in an elevated position overlooking Alpbach and exploring is easy - the village centre and walkers’ bus stop are around 500 metres away.

The bedrooms are spacious and traditionally furnished, with everything you need for a comfortable stay - choose a room with a balcony to make the most of the views. Generous breakfasts and delicious dinners are part of the half board package, and the typically Austrian menu celebrates seasonal and local produce - the wine list has a perfect match for any meal.

With so much exploring to do, you'll have earned a little time out. The sunny rooftop terrace is perfect for a quiet hour with a good book or enjoying the impressive views with a drink. The hotel has a wellness area with a sauna, infrared cabin, steam bath, and an indoor swimming pool too. For ultimate relaxation, we recommend heading to the 'lazy room' which has hanging loungers and waterbeds.

The medieval town of glass, Rattenberg sits on the bank of the River Inn and only has around 500 inhabitants – despite its small size, it’s packed with culture and is famous for glass-blowing.
