Half Board Hotel in Zell am See: What's Included at Hotel Latini

I'm Ursula Auer from Hotel Latini. Working in quality management, I am involved in all sorts of things at the hotel: sometimes at reception, sometimes in the office, and really wherever there is something to be done.

What does half board include at Hotel Latini?

Hotel Latini is not an all-inclusive hotel: depending on your rate, breakfast or half board is included, and lunch is not part of it. If you book bed and breakfast and change your mind, half board can be added for a supplement as long as the restaurant has room; tell the hotel as early as you can.

Half board starts with dinner on the day you arrive. Drinks are not included and are charged separately. Half-board guests keep the same table for their whole stay, at breakfast and at dinner.

The breakfast buffet has fresh juices, fruit, yoghurts, cereals, a choice of ham and cold meats, several sliced cheeses and a large cheese board, homemade cakes, Danish pastries, fresh pastries and several kinds of bread, eggs cooked to order, fried bacon, sausages, vegetables, pancakes, jams, Nutella and spreads, with a wide choice of teas and coffee.

Half-board dinner: a menu with a choice of dishes or a themed buffet

Half-board dinner in the restaurant at Hotel Latini is either a five-course menu with a choice of dishes or a themed buffet, such as an Italian, a regional or a chef's buffet. With the menu there is a choice of starters, salads, bread and soups, then a main course chosen from three dishes, always fish, meat and vegetarian, and dessert to finish. If none of the three suits you, the kitchen will offer an alternative. The main course is always served at the table; the other courses are partly served and partly set out at the buffet. The kitchen cooks Austrian classics, Pinzgau specialities and international dishes with regional ingredients. Guests with a dog can have breakfast and dinner in the Enzian Stube, as dogs are not allowed in the restaurant.

Special diets and children

There are always vegetarian dishes, and the kitchen can cook gluten-free and lactose-free meals if you let the hotel know before you arrive. The hotel does not specialise in vegan food, but alternatives are available on request.

Children's dishes are part of half board, and there are high chairs in the restaurant. Children are welcome in the indoor pool during the day; it is open until 9 pm, but from 6 pm it is for adults and young people aged 14 and over, so younger children swim before dinner. For family rooms, cots and days out with children, see Family Hotel in Zell am See. For winter with children, see Zell am See in winter with children, and for a wet day, Zell am See on a rainy day.

Included with every stay

Whichever board you choose, every stay at Hotel Latini includes the Gold Spa with its indoor pool and the Salzburg Mobility Ticket for public transport across the province of Salzburg, arrival and departure days included. From 15 May to 31 October the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card is included too.

Where to have lunch

On a ski day you can have lunch on the mountain: the Schmittenhöhebahn's winter listing (in German) has 18 places to eat and drink on the Schmittenhöhe. The hotel is about 5 to 7 minutes on foot from the valley station of the areitXpress, one of the Schmittenhöhe lifts, and Hotel Der Schütthof next door has a guide to skiing in Zell am See.

Without leaving the hotel, you can have lunch at Papa Rudolfo, the hotel's pizzeria: pizza, pasta, burgers, salads and Austrian dishes, daily from 11.30 am to 10 pm, with the kitchen (pizza included) open until 9.30 pm. In 2026 the pizzeria closed on 11 October and reopens on 10 December. From about the end of May to mid-September, Papa Rudolfo moves outside into Latini's beer garden, between Hotel Latini and Hotel Der Schütthof.

Half board or bed and breakfast in Zell am See?

With half board, dinner is at Hotel Latini after a day outdoors and you don't have to go out again; with bed and breakfast, you choose where to eat each evening.

Eating out, and getting back

Without half board, Papa Rudolfo is the hotel's own alternative. For eating out, our guide to restaurants in Zell am See covers Schüttdorf and the town, and for an evening in Schüttdorf I personally recommend Village Kitchen. From mid-October to early December quite a lot in Zell am See is closed, so check that a restaurant is open before you set off.

The last Pinzgauer Lokalbahn train leaves Zell am See at 10.02 pm and stops at Kitzsteinhornstraße, about 150 metres from the hotel, at 10.06 pm (a request stop); the last train into town leaves Kitzsteinhornstraße at 10.52 pm (timetable valid until 12 December 2026, in German).

Depending on the season there is also a dedicated evening and night bus between Zell am See and Kaprun. Check your return time before you go out; the timetables are at reception.

Prices and local taxes

Half board booked for your whole stay costs €28 per adult per night on top of the room rate, €9 for children aged 2 to 6 and €20 for children aged 7 to 11. Added at the hotel for a single evening, it costs €44 per adult, so booking it with your room is always cheaper. You see current room rates when you book, and booking direct with the hotel gets you the best available rate. Until 30 April 2027 the mobility tax is €0.50 per person aged 15 and over per night, and from 1 May 2027 it is €1.10; it is charged on top of the local overnight tax and pays for the Salzburg Mobility Ticket, which is included with your stay. Children up to 14 pay no mobility tax. For questions about prices and local taxes, call the hotel on +43 6542 5425.

Christmas and New Year 2026 at Hotel Latini

Over Christmas and New Year 2026, Hotel Latini has a full programme, with culinary highlights and an afternoon snack. Half-board dinner is served every evening, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve included. On Christmas Eve there is an aperitif and then a festive Christmas menu, and Father Christmas brings every guest a present; on New Year's Eve the aperitif is at 6.30 pm, followed at 7 pm by a gala dinner with a large dessert buffet and live music; and on New Year's morning breakfast runs until 11 am.
