Schloss Fuschl is an enchanting castle hotel set in its own parkland a stone’s throw from the magical city of Salzburg. Staying here is a truly wonderous experience; the hotel combines the classic splendour of an 18th Century manor house with all the modern conveniences necessary for the 21st Century traveller. The hotel boasts 65 rooms, 39 suites and six lakeside cottages all decorated in either Renaissance, Empire, Baroque or Biedermeier style, transporting guests to another place and another time with their mixture of classic artwork, opulent furniture and selected antiques. Chill out in the spa complex overlooking the lake with a wide selection of massage and beauty treatments or perhaps a dip in the indoor pool or Jacuzzi. Head Chef Thomas M. Walkensteiner serves a selection of Euro-Asian cuisine intermingled with traditional Austrian specialities. An especial highlight here is the fresh fish caught from the hotel’s private fishery. After dinner, enjoy a snifter in the bar or a relaxing smoke in the cigar lounge. Schloss Fuschl is a perfect country hideaway for those wishing to escape to the hustle of contemporary living; it’s so highly regarded in fact that Condé Nast Traveller recently voted it one of Europe’s top 25 resorts.
