Rieser Achensee Resort

The Rieser hotel was always beautiful, luxurious and a pleasure to stay in, however since its incredible expansion outwards with new pools, additional saunas and relaxation areas it has become a resort in its own right. Much thought has gone into what guests are offered and what makes a true recipe for relaxation - for example the provision of hot and cold drinks all day, an impressive guided sauna program, expanded activities, and little touches that are discovered as you stay and relax (e.g. the little pots of ready made menthol salt in the sauna areas). The new bedrooms are beautiful, comfortable and have gorgeous views of the mountains. Room service is excellent and any requests are met without issue. Overall service across this hotel is outstanding, a high level of staff training and expectation is obvious and yet there is an understated Austrian culture. The food is extensive, delicious and innovative - it was always fantastic but the detail and technique now on show in the evening meals is outstanding. There is considerable choice with food and you can opt whether you fully indulge or request lighter options. Either way the activities on the doorstep are fabulous - hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing etc etc which enables you to burn some of it off. Before you collapse into the spa for hours. The provision for children is outstanding and they are genuinely welcome at this hotel. The mini bath robes, extensive menu in the evening which you can pick and mix with the main menus and a lovely downstairs hangout area with games, table tennis etc are highlights. The pools, the private freshwater lake and the bikes kept us fully entertained. This is an excellent multi generational hotel - indeed 4 generations of the same family are owners and stewards of it. It is possible for multiple age ranges to stay, relax, enjoy and have freedom leaving everyone extremely happy.

Excellent hotel, very clean, delicious food and good facilities. Good location and able to hike to a range of destinations without using the car. Friendly and helpful staff. Our Feilkopf room was modern, spacious and comfortable with a good view of the mountains.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel for a week with my 2-year-old. The friendly staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and their attentive service was much appreciated. The hotel's location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore the area's attractions. What stood out to me was the delicious food offered at the hotel's restaurant, which both my toddler and I enjoyed. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to others looking for a family-friendly and well-located place to stay.

Family owned, caring staff, delicious food with well sorted wine menu, nice comfy suite, spa and sauna area stunning, all day (6am-6pm) water, coffee and softdrinks for free, well maintained and challenging golf course and dog and us felt super welcomed from start till end

We stayed at Hotel Rieser for 4 nights and wished it could have been longer, the spa and swimming pool facilities are excellent. We stayed in the Alpine Loft Rofan room which was spacious, lovely views and spotlessly clean, the food was outstanding with plenty of choice and all the staff were excellent. We would recommend this hotel and hope to be able to go back in the future.
