Kinderhotel Appelhof  

In the Mürzer Oberland Nature Reserve near Mariazell — about 75 miles from both Vienna and Graz. Close to Mayerling Chapel, Rollett‑Museum and the Rosarium. A family-friendly, all-inclusive and pet-friendly base for mountain escapes.

Housed in a renovated farmhouse, rooms include themed “fairy‑tale” apartments with separate parents' bedrooms (four‑poster bed) and storybook kids' rooms. The vibe is playful and rustic with a huge indoor Märchenburg playground and vast outdoor grounds. Spa area, pools, elevator access, free parking and on-site Wi‑Fi round out the comforts.

Swim in indoor, outdoor and baby pools, then unwind in the spa with sauna, solarium and massage room. Kids rule here: pony ranch, petting zoo, trampolines, pirate ship, go‑karts, climbing wall and supervised children's club (daily 9am–7pm). Adventure options include hiking, river crossings, rappelling, winter mini ski slope with kids' equipment included, bike rental and an excursions desk.

Business center and facilities for meetings or board sessions. Free on‑site Wi‑Fi keeps everyone connected.

All-inclusive dining with rich buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner; baby food and kid-friendly options available. On-site restaurant and bar serve local flavors and hearty family fares.
