About Hotel Der Löwe
Der Löwe ("The Lion") in Leogang is not merely a hotel; it is a sanctuary of slow travel, thoughtfully nestled in the heart of the Alps. For over a century, the Madreiter family has lovingly managed this 4-star superior haven, earning a reputation for its warm, genuine hospitality and unwavering dedication to sustainable practices.
Here, the team, strong as a lion, works hand in hand with guests and locals to foster a harmonious and enriching environment. The hotel’s name reflects the family’s strong ties to the local community, with the lion as the central figure in the town’s coat of arms.
The story of Der Löwe dates back to the 1950s when the grandfather of current owners Elisabeth and Anna Madreiter transformed his local inn into a hotel, significantly boosting local tourism. In 1991, their father built the current hotel at just 23, naming it Löwenhof in honor of his mother’s zodiac sign and the deep-rooted values of Leogang.
Today, Elisabeth and Anna continue the family’s tradition in the 4th generation, offering guests from around the world a memorable stay filled with Austrian warmth and hospitality.
Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring Alpine landscape, savor the finest Austrian cuisine, and unwind in the serene adults-only spa, where rejuvenating treatments await. Alternatively, the family spa offers a blissful retreat with both indoor and outdoor pools, designed for ultimate relaxation and comfort.

I have made several trips to this lovely family-run hotel on my own to join family nearby. I always feel very comfortable and well looked after. Breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared with a great selection. [...] The area is stunning I will definitely return.
