Location
Set on a historic peninsula in Traunkirchen, Post am See places you directly on the shores of Lake Traunsee, surrounded by the mountains and forests of Austria’s Salzkammergut. Step outside for swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, cycling, and watersports, or wander into the picturesque lakeside village. A world of experiences await at the hotel—from cooking classes dedicated to regional cuisine, lake trips on authentic Old World salt boats, wine tastings, and events that further highlight the hotel’s three core culinary, culture, and well-being principles. The former Austrian emperor’s summer retreat of Bad Ischl and timeless Hallstatt are just a short drive away, while Salzburg can be reached in roughly an hour by car—making the hotel an ideal base for exploring the region’s landscapes, culture, and traditions.

Interior design Arkan Zeytinoglu Architects
Inside Post am See, contemporary comfort meets the character of the Salzkammergut through bespoke furnishings, natural materials, and expressive colors. Each space is individually defined, with soft textiles and wall coverings by the visionary design company FAB, as well as warm oak, Traunstein marble, custom tiles, and carefully chosen pieces by Moroso, Minotti, Tom Dixon, Artemide, and others. Panoramic windows draw the lake and mountains into the rooms, while the Belétage Bar replaces the conventional lobby with a lively, layered social space for reading, working, coffee, and drinks.
Architecture Arkan Zeytinoglu Architects & Hinterwirth Architekten
Post am See brings together a centuries-old former monastery inn and a contemporary extension, preserving the historic building while adding a distinct modern counterpart. Schöngeist and Freigeist create a dialogue between past and present through natural materials, bespoke furniture, expressive colors, and lake-facing spaces. Oak floors, Traunstein marble, custom tiles, and panoramic windows add warmth and character, while the new wooden facade complements the village and landscape.

Poststube 1327 Austrian classics
The inviting restaurants pairs regional ingredients and classic flavors with a relaxed, contemporary spirit. Local produce and lake fish take center stage in dishes that honor the Salzkammergut while embracing a modern sensibility. The setting feels warm and convivial, making this the place for hearty regional cooking, good conversation, and an authentic taste of the area. Seafood is deliberately absent: the kitchen works exclusively with fish from the surrounding lakes.
Belétage Restaurant Regional reimagined
Belétage Restaurant is the hotel’s more contemporary culinary expression, turning “region on the plate” into creative dishes designed for sharing. The kitchen works with local produce and lake fish, while an eclectic wine selection adds another layer to the experience. More than a restaurant, Belétage is a social hub, flowing naturally into the bar, where guests gather for aperitifs, drinks, and conversation from day into evening.
Belétage Bar Tales of Amaro
Belétage Bar is the hotel’s place to be, with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that shifts effortlessly from daytime drinks and aperitifs to evening bar classics. Local ingredients and regional drinks feature alongside an inventive wine selection, while the house-made “Tales of Amaro” traces the seasons and local terroir through a changing journey of flavors in the glass.
