RELAXING MOUNTAIN & LAKESIDE STAYS
Stressed out by your job or just the past year and a half in general? Majestic mountain views, spa areas with bubbling whirlpools and steaming saunas will instantly put you in full relaxation mood. Tirol, SalzburgerLand, and Upper Austria are your go-to places for a break from reality!
In Tirol, the Ötztal valley not only offers some of Austria’s highest mountains, but also two fantastic hotels: The AQUA DOME hotel with its relaxing thermal waters was named World’s Best Mineral & Hot Springs Spa 2018. Luxury Das Central on the other hand doesn’t only feature a 15,000-m2 spa oasis but also a legendary wine cellar. The Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol is nestled in the mountains between Innsbruck and Munich and offers both a unique location and top-notch culinary delights prepared by 2021 Gault & Millau Pastry Chef Michael Hollaus. Nearby Astoria Resort in Seefeld was named Best Wellness Hotel in Austria by Connoisseur Circle Magazine and boasts new luxury suites after its recent renovation.
In Salzburg, the family-run DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort in the heart of the Grossarltal Alps, just 55 minutes south of Salzburg Airport, offers ski-in and ski-out in winter and a perfect base for hiking in summer. Or how about stretching your legs in Europe’s first forest spa? The Naturhotel Forsthofgut right in the mountains in Leogang has a strong focus on sustainability and connection to nature.
In Upper Austria, the Romantik Hotel Im Weissen Rössl on the shores of Lake Wolfgangsee awaits with a lakeside spa, including a heated lake lido, and makes a great base to explore the Lake District.
HOTELS FOR YOUR NEXT CITY BREAK
Baroque architecture, cosy cafés with their signature cakes, and plenty of options for everyone interested in the arts and culture. Austria’s cities are always worth a visit – and our hand-picked hotels will make your stay even better!
Want to explore Vienna in style? Austria’s capital has no shortage of splendid four- and five-star hotels: The Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere offers stunning views from its rooftop bar on the 16th floor and focuses on traditional Viennese craftsmanship and sustainability. The boutique hotel Altstadt Vienna is beloved for its unique design and an owner-curated art collection of over 350 pieces, while the Hotel Bristol Vienna right next to the Vienna State Opera features “the most elegant dining room in town”. If splendid suites are your cup of tea, Park Hyatt Vienna surely won’t disappoint – it has some of the largest rooms in the city including the Royal Penthouse Suite. Green Globe certificated Sans Souci Vienna next to the Kunsthistorische Museum is a great address for a sustainable stay, while dance-inspired The Harmonie Hotel Vienna is famous for its regional and organic breakfast, including many vegan options.
In Tirol, we like to introduce you to a very artsy boutique hotel in Innsbruck, the Nala Individuell Hotel, with stunning mountain views of the city from its roof-top terrace.
