Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

The rooms
Soft pastels and bold patterns brighten the bedrooms, and balconies look straight out across Lake Fuschl.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Outdoor heated pools steam against the winter snow, and sun loungers face sunset over Lake Fuschl.
The spa
Treatments draw on botanicals prepared in the hotel herb kitchen, and sunlit relaxation rooms look over the grounds.
The gym
The timber-framed fitness room looks through floor-to-ceiling glass, and an indoor bouldering room sits nearby.
At the table
Wood-panelled dining rooms and lakefront terraces serve regional Austrian dishes, and the cellar hosts candlelit wine tastings.
How it began
Elmtrude Ebner opened a 30-bed pension here in 1958, while her husband Georg tended the family farm next door.
