The Snowbird Inn is located in a ski-in ski-out location in the centre of the Hotham Village. It is directly opposite Hotham Central and less than 15 metres from the snow sports school meeting place, adjacent to the Summit Quad chairlift.

The Snowbird Inn caters to in-house guests with a set menu. The bistro seats in excess of 50 patrons and will facilitate up to 5 sittings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dorm style bunk rooms accommodate 180 guests and mainly caters to school groups.

Snowbird Inn is a popular choice for accommodation at Mt Hotham because of our combination of quality meals, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff, economically priced packages and of course our premium location.

The accompanying Bird Café is the busiest restaurant on the mountain. Great value for money and with a wide range of dishes and its ski in - ski out location ensures it is always a hive of activity. The excellent coffee and attentive staff are an added bonus.

The Snowbird employs 5 chefs, 3 receptionists and up to 25 all-round wait, bar and housekeeping staff. All staff are housed at a private lodge, a short bus ride away.

The Snowbird Inn is owned by WorldStrides, a global education travel organisation. WorldStrides operates three properties in the Australian Snowfields, two at Falls Creek and one at Mount Hotham, plus they have strategic alliances with other properties across Australian and international snow destinations.
