Overview
Cella Central Historic Boutique Hotel is hard to beat if you want to stay right in the heart of the action. Set in Zell’s pedestrianised Old Town, you’ll have shops, bars and restaurants just steps from your door. Plus, it’s only around a five-minute walk to both the City Xpress gondola and the shores of Lake Zell.
With a history spanning over 500 years, this is one of the oldest buildings in town. Despite its boutique style, the hotel retains plenty of traditional charm, from its warm hospitality to the classic dishes served in the restaurant. Breakfast is included, along with evening meals six nights a week, typically featuring a four-course set menu. You may also be treated to a fondue evening, and with the hotel’s heritage as a former wine import office, the cellar remains impressively well stocked—perfect for pairing with your meal.
When it’s time to unwind, you can relax like a local. Spend some time in the small spa, complete with a sauna and hot tub, or head to the bar for après-ski with live music. There are also thoughtful extras to enjoy, such as torch-lit walks with mulled wine, adding a memorable touch to your stay.

About Zell am See
Zell am See skiing
Set by Lake Zell, Zell am See and its bus-linked neighbour Kaprun make up the 'Europa Sport' region, with a total of 130km of runs, 80 of which are at Zell. The setting is one of Zell's biggest selling points, with lovely views of the lake from the medieval town and the slopes above. The ski area caters well for beginners intermediates keen on improving technique in the mostly tree-lined pistes. Advanced skiers have the Kitzsteinhorn glacier located down the road at nearby Kaprun.
Zell am See ski resort
The lakeside town has loads of activities for those not on skis or a board, with lively nightlife, decent restaurants and a full range of accommodation. It is good to check where you are staying in relation to the lifts, as there is a short free bus to access the slopes. For skiing, it is also worth exploring some of the other terrain in the area, like Saalbach, Bad Gastein and Schladming. Overall, Zell is a lovely spot for a winter holiday, with or without skiing.
The beautiful setting gives Zell am See a unique atmosphere not found in many Austrian resorts, and really sets it apart. Despite the smaller ski area, Zell am See remains one of Austria's top 5 resorts, and deservedly so.
