Holiday coaches

Passion and enthusiasm...

are the driving forces of our Kärntnerhof holiday coaches who go out of their way to provide guests with a fabulous time and a memorable holiday experience. They take time for our guests, pay close attention to individual requests, offer plenty of tips and motivate families to participate in joint activities. The Kärntnerhof has become Austria’s first hotel with almost its entire staff trained as holiday coaches by the Family Austria group. Our holiday coaches will be at your side from the moment you make your hotel reservation until you say goodbye, assisting you in creating holiday moments that last.

Holiday coach Markus

For our chef Markus an authentic culinary experience is a major part of any vacation. He makes a point of using fresh regional ingredients to create delicious Carinthian Alps-Adriatic cuisine dishes. In his private life he enjoys being spoiled with grandma’s hearty homemade beef olives.
“Please let us know prior to your stay if you suffer from any food intolerances or allergies. This allows us to adapt to specific preferences regarding your diet, enabling you to fully enjoy the fresh and regional products that are used to create the region’s own special dishes!“

Holiday coach Dragica

”Everything needs to be made with love“, is the motto of our loyal head housekeeper Dragica Mickic who has been supervising the Kärntnerhof floor staff for many years and assures guest satisfaction by delivering cozy living comfort in the hotel’s various room and suite types. Whether it’s a special pillow, a bathrobe or a bottle warmer for the little one, our housekeeping staff is always at your service to ensure relaxing and pleasant holidays.
“It’s a matter of sensitivity to anticipate each guest’s individual needs, wishes and preferences. This ability gives me the opportunity to surprise even long-time regular guests.“

Holiday coach Sabine

Sabine, our cheerful lady at the front desk, not only helps guests with information about the weekly programs, ski passes and suite pads but also provides first hand shopping tips. Also those opting for a night out in the village or in a nearby town and requiring dining recommendations are in good hands with Sabine!
“I’m happy if I can inspire our guests with our program and our region!“

Holiday coach Dietmar

A dedicated and warm-hearted hotelier, managing director Dietmar Krenn knows Bad Kleinkirchheim and the hotel from childhood. According to the motto “anything is possible“, he continually is seeking ways and ideas for both the hotel and the village to provide guests a memorable stay in the Carinthian Nockberge Mountains.
“It makes me happy to surprise guests with such unexpected holiday moments like the “Berggeniesser” highlights or our Kärntnerhof Glüxrad’l wheel of fortune!"

Holiday coach Valentina

Sabine’s younger sister has been part of our Kärntnerhof reception team since December 2013. In just a short time, sociable Valentina quickly has become familiar with the various tasks of her job including guest service, reservations and marketing.
“I’m a very communicative type with a positive attitude and always in the mood for a bit of fun. Our guests like my outgoing personality!“

Holiday coach Michael

Sous chef Michael possesses a great passion for food and its service. Not only hotel guests can indulge in the culinary delights of the Kärntnerhof hotel restaurant – Michael also enjoys supervising our catering service with his excellent cooking and organizational skills.
“Each catering is unique with individual requests and preferences. The chance to create delectable menus that perfectly complement an event is always a challenging task.“

Holiday coach Silvia

Our long-term breakfast cook Silvia knows how to spoil our guests’ taste buds early in the morning with mouth-watering egg dishes, homemade mueslis and various other fresh regional specialties for a delicious start into the day.
“While the eggs are sizzling in the pan I make sure that the buffet is kept stocked up with lots of goodies and regional treats. I’m also happy to cater to individual breakfast wishes!"
