Rosewood has recently launched a hotel in a beautifully restored 15th-century castle in Austria

The luxury brand Rosewood presents a stunning new property just outside Salzburg, Austria, considered one of the top destinations for July 2024.

Named Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, this hotel, housed in a magnificent 15th-century castle, offers visitors to Austria a regal retreat, embodying the brand's relaxed luxury amidst the picturesque Austrian Alps and the enchanting Lake Fuschl.

Guests at Rosewood Schloss Fuschl will discover 98 accommodations, featuring 42 suites and six chalets, situated in and around what was once a hunting lodge created for the prince archbishops of Salzburg in 1461. Over the centuries, Schloss Fuschl has hosted numerous dignitaries, royals, and celebrities, and is famously known as the place where Mozart composed music.

The hotel’s accommodations feature expansive windows offering stunning lakeside views, luxurious rainfall showers, marble bathrooms, heated flooring, art by Austrian artists, a diverse selection of pillows, and premium amenities like Nespresso machines.

For those seeking more space, the chalets, ranging from one to three bedrooms, provide lake views, private outdoor areas, cozy fireplaces, and even exclusive saunas.

Dining at this Rosewood is described as "a culinary journey through authentic Salzkammergut cuisine," with Schloss Restaurant serving traditional Austrian dishes alongside innovative interpretations, such as Austrian blood sausage (blunzn) gyoza with sauerkraut, complemented by a wine collection boasting over 1,400 varieties.

Guests can unwind by a fireplace adorned with hand-painted walls by Austrian artist Marie Hartig at the Schloss Bar or treat themselves to pastries and tea at the Sisi Teesalon, which pays homage to the hotel's connection to the 1950s "Sissi" film trilogy.

Additional dining and gathering spots include Vinothek, a wine bar that welcomes guests and hikers alike; Seeterrasse, boasting lake views and an "alpine-to-the-sea" menu; and Schloss Fuschl See Club, available to both guests and visitors, featuring cabana rentals, scenic water views, abundant seafood, and live music.

In a stunning locale like Lake Fuschl, self-reflection and pampering are essential, which is where the Asaya Spa comes into play. The spa provides a comprehensive treatment menu, both indoor and outdoor pools, a hair salon, and a gym. Additionally, guests can engage in multi-day wellness journeys aimed at physical detoxification or enhanced sleep.

This Rosewood, the second in Austria, fully embraces its Alpine setting and Austrian heritage by offering seasonal local experiences such as hot air balloon rides over the mountains, guided hikes, boating excursions, private museum tours, interactions with local artisans, winter tobogganing, and visits to festive markets during the winter.

Summer rates range from approximately $860 to $1,770 per night, with some yearly rates starting as low as $483 per night. Fortunately, Rosewood provides a booking calendar that gives you a rough idea of potential costs for your stay.

With the hotel's "opening celebration offer," guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast, early check-in, late checkout, and hotel credits totaling over $100 for rooms and more than $200 for suites when booking directly.

Additionally, we anticipate that Rosewood Schloss Fuschl will soon be included in programs like American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts, enabling guests to enjoy elite perks such as possible room upgrades and hotel credits, among other benefits.
