Johannesbad Hotel Palace
Bad Hofgastein, Austria- Half Board Hotel
- Sleeps 400
- Flights included
- Transfers included
- Lift : 15 minute walk
There’s a lot going on at the Hotel Palace. It's a little bigger than you may expect from an Austrian hotel – which is handy as it’s very popular.
In a quiet spot on the edge of a park, surrounding the resort's thermal spa centre, the location is perfect if you’re after a bit of peace in the evening. And there's a stop just outside the hotel for the free bus, which will take you into the centre of Bad Hofgastein and over to the ski lifts too, so getting around is simple.
The hotel has its own large indoor thermal pool and an impressive spa complex, complete with saunas, steam bath and a salt inhalation cave. And sport and fitness is taken care of too – there are indoor tennis courts, aqua-gymnastic sessions and a fitness room with all the essentials to keep in shape.
There's also an entertainment programme with live music and a games room with pool and table tennis, so there's plenty to do after a day on the slopes.
In the evening, there's a large international dinner buffet with plenty of choice – even for the pickiest of diners.
The rooms are both functional and spacious, but if you choose the small rooms for a couple, please be aware that the beds are very cosy – measuring around 140cm in width and are fixed in the corner of the room.
- Visit the spa for a dip in the heated indoor pool.
- Relax in the lounge with panoramic mountain views.
- Enjoy evening entertainment, including live music.

Snow Promise
This operator is offering a new and improved Snow Promise which means they'll do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow while you're on holiday. Plus, when you book your holiday before 30 November 2023, you can now change your holiday fee-free if less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you're travelling to, due to lack of snow or no snow. Not forgetting the option to upgrade to the Snow Promise Extra for even more flexibility if the snow lets you down. Find out more below.
Before You Go On Holiday
If there's a lack of snow or no snow in the ski area you're travelling to, you can change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you depart. Just so you know, they'll use the live conditions in the 4 days before you go, not the forecast conditions for your arrival. For example, if you're travelling on a Saturday, you can change your holiday from the Tuesday to the Friday before, if on Tuesday there's a lack of snow or no snow. They’ll refund the difference if your new holiday is cheaper, or you’ll need to pay the difference if the new holiday costs more.
The Snow Promise
Included with all package holidays with this operator*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Less than 2 blue/red/black/black diamond runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- You’ve booked ski school through the operator and your lessons have been cancelled.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator departing between December 2023 and April 2024.
This applies to all package holidays booked with this operator on or before 30 November 2023.
The Snow Promise Extra
Optional upgrade on our package holidays (+£25pp)*
Change your holiday fee-free in the 4 days before you go, if due to lack of snow or no snow:
- Less than 50% of runs are open in the ski area you’re travelling to. Or
- Your ski school lessons have been cancelled. And it doesn't matter if you booked through us or someone else.
Change your holiday to:
Any package holiday with this operator they have on sale for this winter, or next.
This applies when everyone on your booking upgrades to the Snow Promise Extra on or before 30 November 2023.
While You're On Holiday
Your tour operator will do everything they can to get you on the slopes if there's no snow. If you book your lift passes with the operator and less than 10% of runs are open in the ski area due to lack of snow or no snow, they'll do their best to arrange up to three days of skiing in an open resort within a 2-hour drive from the resort you're staying in. Their local team will organise the transport and your new lift pass will be paid for too, so all you have to do is hop on the coach. And even if you haven’t booked your lift passes with the operator, you can still use the coach for free.
In the worst-case scenario where they can't get you to another open resort if you booked ski school and/or lift passes with the operator, they'll refund you for any lessons that have been cancelled and you'll get your lift pass money back for any days you were unable to ski due to lack of snow or no snow.
This applies to all package holidays with this operator, even if you book the day before you travel.
