A holiday in an elevated location – right in the heart of Kaprun
Personal, warm, familiar – that’s the spirit of our alpine-stylish Boutique Hotel Margarethenstein. This small yet refined retreat, surrounded by impressive mountains, will delight you – and at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn, we offer what is arguably the most extraordinary location in the Zell am See–Kaprun region. Curious?
Your designer hotel in Salzburger Land
Extraordinary by tradition. For over 200 years, the former Mesnerhaus has stood proudly on the Margarethenstein rock, high above the rooftops of Kaprun. This privileged setting inspires us to offer hospitality that is just as remarkable – whether through service, cuisine, or design.
Today, nine exclusive design suites await you – several with private saunas – along with our rooftop spa, reserved exclusively for suite guests. A luxurious complement to our popular premium flats, each with its own private sauna.
Small, Refined and Personal
As a family-run hotel, we live the spirit of togetherness with heart and soul. Guests love Margarethenstein for its small scale, personal touch, and timeless charm – always evolving, but never losing its essence.
With great passion and attention to detail, we have created premium suites that blend modern comfort with alpine flair. Elevated above the rooftops of Kaprun, yet grounded in authenticity.
Casual, honest, authentic – that’s who we are.
Your hosts, the Schwarz family.
