HOF BAR

Wine & Cocktails & Dreams at Zillertalerhof

„To be really happy, we must throw our hearts over the bar and hope that our bodies will follow.”
– Graham Taylor

Graham Taylor may not have been a philosopher. He was an English football player. And yet, our HOF BAR is a place where you certainly "throw hearts over the bar." Not because that's what we usually do in Mayrhofen, but because this bar is the very heart of our philosophy: Lifestyle with locals, friends and guests. That's what MayrHOFen and ZillertalerHOF have in common: The HOF. Where we aim at the extraordinary, the interaction with the local community – with cocktails and dreams. Or with a local gin if you dare to care! Either way: Graham Taylor would instantly throw his heart over our HOF BAR.
