Tauern Spa Hotel, Kaprun

There are a number of factors that can set a great ski hotel apart from the rest of the crowd – with the Tauern Spa Kaprun, it is definitely down to the modern design, fantastic food, superior service and – as the name might suggest – the incredible spa facilities. And with an efficient ski bus system operating in and around Kaprun, you'll have no difficulty getting up to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier or over to Zell am See's Schmittenhohe.

Set on the outskirts of Kaprun, the Tauern Spa was built back in 2010 – and has already established itself as Kaprun's number one spa destination. Staying at the hotel you have full access to the full 20,000m² of wellness facilities free of charge, including the popular public pools, children's spa and the guest-only Panorama Spa. Here's just a taste of what you can indulge in while staying here: multiple indoor and outdoor pools – some with water slides or beautiful views over to the mountains, 13 different saunas and steam rooms including separate textile (bathing costume) section, whirlpools, kniepp baths and mood showers. There's also daily child supervision available from midday until 7pm for kids from 3-12 years, so that parents can get a bit of time off.

OK, so you've got the picture that the spa facilities are pretty fab, so now we'll tell you about the rest of the hotel. Food is highly regarded at the hotel. There's an extensive buffet offering in the mornings where you can choose from a wide selection of continental style meats and cheeses, cereals and fruit – alongside that there's a great range of hot dishes to really set you up for a day on the mountains. Evening meals are an excellent mix of modern Austrian cuisine fused with international dishes made with high quality ingredients and presented beautifully.

Decor-wise the hotel is very contemporary, which is unsurprising given it's age, but in true Austrian style there are plenty of artistic nods and Alpine quirks – including natural wood finishings and touches of chintz. The visually open-plan rooms are very modern and spacious, with clean lines and top-quality furnishings, plenty of storage space and a balcony where you can enjoy the sunset.
