Spacious rooms, a swimming pool, a restaurant — at first glance, our children’s hotel Felben seems quite different from a traditional farm. However, upon closer inspection, there are details that hark back to its origins, such as the stables where cows and horses are housed or the petting zoo. These elements have been around for a long time and have been in the possession of the Scharler family for centuries. Balthasar Scharler purchased the Felbermeilingerhof in 1824, and it has been passed down through generations since then.
In 1955, over a century later, the farm underwent its first transformation: a guest room was established in the courtyard at the request of the local community. In 1958, with the arrival of the first holiday guest from Vienna, the farm took on its new role as a hotel for the first time. Over time, more areas of the Felbermeilingerhof were converted into guest rooms. By 1989, the Scharler family began the process of transforming the 2-star guesthouse with restaurant into a family hotel.
By 1992, the former farm was proudly awarded four stars and officially recognized as a children’s hotel. Since then, the offerings for children have been continuously improved and expanded.
In 2009, the children’s hotel received 5 smileys, the highest rating from Children’s Hotels Europe. This award has since been replaced—we are now proud to be a “Premium+” children’s hotel. Since 2019, our establishment has also been shining as a 4-star superior hotel.
