01 — The pitch

02 — The pitch

A hotel where parents nap too, and the watermelon is always cold.

What started as a postal station in 1568 is now one of Austria's most considered family resorts. Run by the Unseld family, POST is built around a single idea: that a place should feel like it was made for you.

Sixty suites. Fifteen acres. A horse ranch, a bathing lake, a Baby Spa, a rooftop adults-only spa, a kids' club from newborns to teenagers, and food rooted in the region. Small enough that the team knows your client's name. Big enough that they never run out of reasons to stay — in any season.

02b — The family that runs it

We didn't build it for you.
We built it for us.

A postal station since 1568, run by the Unseld family today. POST is what happens when the people who own the resort still live with their own decisions — including the ones their children spend the summer in.

Everything here, we built for our own families first. The Baby Spa, because we had babies. The rooftop, child-free, because we needed somewhere to go. Sixty rooms — no more — because that's small enough to read every guest's allergy card by hand, and your client's daughter, allergic to walnuts, is never going to see one.

Most family resorts at this scale are run by a brand. Ours is run by a family. That's the difference your client feels by check-out.

Sell line
"It's the family that owns the place. By Tuesday lunch they know which child takes the brown horse, and which child takes the gray one."

03 — For your US client

Sound of Music country, an hour from the front door.

Salzburg is the spiritual home of the film, and POST is the alpine basecamp — quieter than a city hotel, closer to the meadows the film actually frames. Pitch the iconic locations as day-trips; come home to a real bed and a real swim.

04 — Why your clients book POST

Seven reasons it sells.

Each is concrete, each is a fact your client can repeat to a friend.

  • 01

    Premium‑family service from check‑in

    Strollers waiting at the room. Carriers, cribs, bottle warmers, organic baby food — already there. Not requested. Provided.

  • 02

    77 hours of childcare a week

    Eleven hours daily, Montessori‑led, newborn through teen. Parents arrive tense and leave rested.

  • 03

    Real action, not a kids' menu

    A 260‑ft lake slide, on‑site horse ranch, padel, Go‑Karts, indoor adventure park, ski kindergarten. Fifteen acres, one entry.

  • 04

    A spa worth the rooftop

    Adults‑only, panoramic, child‑free by design. Plus a Baby Spa downstairs — both sides of the age scale, considered.

  • 05

    Sixty suites. No more.

    Boutique scale at resort depth. By day two, the chef knows your client's child by name. That's the trick.

  • 06

    Year‑round, not just summer

    World‑class skiing minutes away in winter; lake, hiking, ranch in summer; quiet shoulders in spring and autumn.

  • 07

    German and English, fluently

    Front desk, kids' club, ranch, spa, kitchen, signage — the whole resort runs in both languages. Not a service for foreign guests, the default. Your client doesn't translate her own vacation; her four-year-old understands the riding instructor on day one.

05 — Who books POST

Three families who write you back.

  1. A

    The design‑conscious family

    Second‑time parents, urban, value craft and quiet luxury. Won't book a kids'‑club hotel that looks like one. They want considered architecture, regional food and a room their toddler doesn't dent the brand of.

    Sell line — "It's a Kinderhotel that was redesigned by adults who travel."

  2. B

    The multi‑generational booking

    Grandparents, parents, kids — three age groups, one trip. Wants enough room (3‑bedroom suites) and enough quiet (rooftop spa) so all three can coexist.

    Sell line — "Sonnentraum and Sonnenstudio sleep up to seven. Grandparents get the spa, parents get a date, kids get the lake."

  3. C

    The repeat‑stay loyalist

    Tried POST once, returns every season. Books the same suite. Knows the chef. Treats the lake like home. Strong rebooking rate; ideal for an early‑bird series.

    Sell line — "Most guests come back within fourteen months. We can stack their next stay before they leave."

06 — A day at POST

From the first horse to the last swim.

Loose rhythm. Real children. Captions are time of day.

20:30 — The last swim.

07 — Spa & wellness

Two spas. One under the sky, one for the youngest.

Adult clients ask first. We have a rooftop spa designed child-free, with an oval skylight onto the snow line and a quiet-room ritual — alongside a Maela Baby Spa for newborns from twelve weeks. Both sides of the age scale, considered.

08 — Year‑round

Four seasons. Every angle.

Pitch the right one to the right family — POST holds up in all of them.

SPR

Spring

Quiet, easy, half empty. Forests in bud. Especially good for babies and very young children — calmer pool, smaller kids' club groups, no peak-summer crowds. Strong shoulder pricing for repeat guests.
