Enchanting Austria: fairytales, magic tricks and happy memories

Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Families thinking of getting away for October half-term and parents with pre-school tots can take full advantage of the autumn offers available through Kinderhotels - a collection of 34 exceptionally family-friendly properties in spectacular settings across Austria.  

With wizard schools, petting farms, giant soft play areas and swimming lessons to keep the little ones entertained, plus up to 60 hours’ free childcare per week with English-speaking staff as well as relaxing spa facilities for the adults, parents will get the chance to unwind, too.  And there’s no need to fret about excess baggage charges - each hotel provides all the baby/toddler equipment you could possibly need, from buggies to blackout blinds.  

All Kinderhotels are subject to rigorous and regular testing to ensure they meet the high standards expected and a useful system of ‘Smileys’ (rated 3, 4 or 5) denotes the services available at each hotel.
