Schloss Fuschl is currently closed for extensive renovations, and is due to reopen in 2024. The pride of Austria’s Salzkammergut region are its picturesque lakes and snow-capped mountains that rise splendidly in every direction. The beguiling Schloss Fuschl supplies immediate access to both and is still only half an hour away from the gloriously historic city of Salzburg. Set on a bank that juts out into the brilliant waters of Lake Fuschl itself, in a building constructed in 1450 as a hunting lodge, this enchanting spot will spirit away heart and soul on the fresh Alpine air.
A smart lakeside cottage or snug tower suite are the top picks of 110 rooms, all of which possess a very modern sophistication. Besides the hotel’s formal Austro-French restaurant, a wood-decked fishery serves freshly smoked trout and saibling (char). In summer, lake terraces with sweeping views are dedicated to dining or simply whiling away an afternoon; in winter, log fires roar.
