Wrann Hotels GmbH: Three Hotels, One Mission–Versatile Hospitality in Velden and the Arlberg
The family-run Wrann Hotels bring together three distinctive properties in Carinthia and the Arlberg: the Seehotel Europa and the Hotel Post in Velden on Lake Wörthersee, as well as the Hotel Bergkristall in Oberlech. Each property combines relaxation, activity, and enjoyment in its own unique way–whether right on the lake, in the heart of Velden, or high up in the mountains.
The Seehotel Europa is situated directly on the shores of Lake Wörthersee, nestled in a green oasis. Here, lake life and relaxation blend into a harmonious whole–ideal for anyone who wants to make the lake the center of their world. In the evenings, the Brasserie spoils guests with fine classic cuisine and juicy steaks; the Portofino lakeside restaurant, right on the water, serves Alpe-Adria cuisine; and for those who like to aim high, the See La Vie Rooftop Bar offers the perfect spot with a view over the lake.
The Hotel Post combines tradition and modernity right in the heart of Velden. The central location of this year-round hotel allows guests to experience the region’s vibrant atmosphere even outside the summer season: golfers, Advent market enthusiasts, cyclists, hikers, and nature lovers will find plenty to enjoy here all year round, as will guests who appreciate the proximity to Casino Velden. A wide variety of event rooms equipped with modern technology are available for meetings, seminars, and celebrations, and the hotel’s own sauna and fitness area ensures relaxation after a busy day. The in-house restaurant, Wrannissimo, treats guests to culinary delights featuring modern interpretations of classic dishes.
In the car-free village of Oberlech on the Arlberg, with direct access to the slopes of Austria’s largest ski resort, a true winter wonderland awaits guests at the Hotel Bergkristall–the ideal retreat for winter sports enthusiasts. The legendary sun terrace offers top-notch cuisine–from fine steaks and caviar to ice-cold champagne.
As a family-run business, Wrann Hotels places special emphasis on personalized service and genuine hospitality, while each property remains true to its own character.
For aspiring hotel managers, Wrann Hotels thus offers a practical training ground that could hardly be more diverse: from front desk, reservations, and housekeeping to food and beverage, marketing, revenue management, and operations management. Rotating among three properties with different concepts but a shared organizational structure deepens understanding of the full spectrum of the modern hospitality industry, as well as of clear structures and professional processes.
