The former main building was demolished in the winter of 2004/05 and rebuilt with 3 floors.
This brought the hotel another step forward into the modern comfort hotel sector.
After further renovations and expansions the hotel took its present form.
There are now 110 modern guest beds.
Since 2016, daughter Marie Theres is also back on board.
In 2017, the Parkhotel celebrated its 30th anniversary year.
Wayne, the long-standing partner of Marie Theres, joins the ‘MS Tristachersee’ and as a trained hotel manager and after many instructive years in the international hotel industry in Germany and Vienna, he has now also ‘arrived’ in East Tyrol.
