From thermal baths to lakeside spas and holistic relaxation – Austria does wellness oh so WELL and this year’s Austria Hotel Collection features a unique selection of some of its most luxurious retreats.

These handpicked resorts perfectly compliment your Austria visit with their award-winning wellness concepts and refined culinary experiences.

TREAT YOURSELF IN TIROL 

Ötztal ranks among the most popular winter destinations in the Alps, but the Tirolean region still has plenty to offer once the snow has melted. From hiking and mountaineering to biking and rafting, the AQUA DOME Tirol Therme Längenfeld makes the perfect base for Ötztal visitors looking for some feel-good luxury amidst the majestic mountains. It houses Tirol’s largest spa oasis with 12 indoor and outdoor pools including the 3 trademark futuristic floating pools, 7 saunas and plenty of treatment options. Guests can relax in thermal water whilst watching the sunset, then tuck into Austrian dishes with a modern twist at the hotel restaurant. Not tired yet? Head to the hotel bar, which serves over 100 different kinds of gin and a selection of outstanding local wines.

Insider tip: Thinking of taking the kids? The AQUA DOME has a separate water world for youngsters with a daily entertainment programme. Children can be left with trained staff between 2 pm and 6 pm, leaving time for parents to enjoy the thermal waters or even a treatment (or two). Back at the hotel there is a designated space for teens with table tennis, table football and darts.
 

Surrounded by more than 250 three-thousanders, the 5-star Das Central in Sölden combines traditional Tirolean Alpine lifestyle with a contemporary twist. The resort welcomes guests with its luxurious rooms and suites, award-winning cuisine and own wine cellar. Wellness fans will love the hotel’s Summit Spa with a 17 m long outdoor infinity pool overlooking the rooftops of Sölden and a sun terrace with whirlpool. Massages and beauty treatments complete the relaxation package, whilst the hotel gym with its Summit Cardio Fitness area invites you to a workout with truly spectacular views.

Insider tip: Das Central is perfect for holidaymakers wanting to combine outdoor activities and spa, from skiing, snowshoeing and tobogganing in winter to guided hikes, e-bike tours and outdoor yoga in the warmer months.
 

EMBRACE THE CALM IN CARINTHIA 

Mountain Resort Feuerberg sits on an alpine plateau with views over the whole of Carinthia, Austria’s southernmost province. This property is a real find for those looking to recharge their batteries, with a generous wellness sanctuary boasting an award-winning (and very Instagrammable) infinity pool, a natural bathing lake, various other pools and saunas as well as themed relaxation oases. There’s a weekly activity programme featuring yoga, forest bathing, meditation and other enriching sessions for body, mind and soul. And the conscious enjoyment doesn’t stop when it comes to mealtimes either, with more than three quarters of ingredients sourced from local suppliers.

Insider tip: From June to September, guests can join a herb walk and workshop, during which wild herbs are collected and then processed into products such as ointments, deodorants, soaps and oils.
 

Luxurious Das Ronacher in Bad Kleinkirchheim has been winning guests over with its first-class service and family charm for generations. The energising, mineral-rich thermal water of the hotel spa flows directly from St Kathrein spring and is scientifically proven to promote relaxation, help with muscular problems, rheumatism and joint complaints. The 90 stylishly furnished rooms and suites all come with their own balcony or patio, and if the bed is just too comfy to get up – breakfast is served until 12 noon.

Insider tip: Make the most of your stay in Carinthia with the Kärnten Card, which provides free use of the mountain lifts in summer and a variety of other free or discounted activities and attractions.

 

Schloss Seefels on the shores of glorious Lake Wörthersee simply oozes 5-star superior luxury, but it also offers another kind – the type of luxury that money can’t buy. At Schloss Seefels, guests enjoy time, pristine nature and a bathing lake of drinking water quality. The heated lake pool is open all year round, using bioenergy to heat the water to around 28°C even in winter. Come summer, the hotel beach is where it’s at, stretching out on a lounger with a good book and cold drink in hand. Design fans and art lovers rave about Schloss Seefels too, from the architectural elements of the villa with the character of a castle to the quirky interior design and hotel art collection.

Insider tip: Enjoy an early morning swim in the heated lake pool, watching the sunrise from the warmth of the crystal-clear water, before heading for a delicious Schloss breakfast.
 

UNWIND IN UPPER AUSTRIA 

Romantik Hotel Im Weissen Rössl is a landmark in the Salzkammergut region. Having welcomed guests at the shores of Lake Wolfgangsee for over 500 years, it found worldwide fame with the eponymous 1930 operetta and the 1960 musical film of the same name. Memorabilia from the film set are on display all around the property. Today, the hotel is just as elegant, but a heated lake pool, an extensive spa (with saunas, steam baths and separate family area) and an award-winning restaurant provide state-of-the-art comfort. Romantik Hotel im Weissen Rössl received the Austrian Ecolabel and EU Ecolabel for its sustainable and environmentally conscious management.

Insider tip: The best way to explore Lake Wolfgangsee is by boat. Hop on board the hotel boat or hire one of the pedal boats or electric boats for yourself.

 

SIT BACK IN SALZBURGERLAND 

A 5-star ski-in/ski-out hotel with direct access to the renowned Ski amadé region in winter, the Nesslerhof scores with the perfect mix of mountain adventures, relaxation and luxury in the warmer months. Summer consists of bright sunshine, charming alpine pastures and plenty of exercise in the fresh mountain air in the Grossarl Valley, and the hotel owners’ vision is simple: to create a space where guests feel at home while enjoying the best of nature and luxury wellness. Hiking and mountain bike trails start right outside the door and afterwards an opulent 5,000 m² in-house wellness oasis awaits. Come sunset, guests are spoiled with a 5-course-dinner made with fresh, local ingredients. 

Insider tip: The Nesslerhof runs day and multi-day yoga retreats throughout the year, with upcoming highlights including a spring “Yoga & Herbs Retreat”.

 

Surrounded by the Leoganger Steinberge mountains in SalzburgerLand, Hotel Krallerhof captures the essence of the landscape and its revitalising energy. The family-run hotel sits next to the Steinberg cable car, whisking skiers up to the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn in no time throughout winter, and the ideal starting point for Leogang’s network of more than 480 km of hiking trails in summer. Guests can relax in pools, saunas and steam baths in the hotel spa and boost their longevity with treatments such cryotherapy and red-light therapy.

Insider tip: Hotel Krallerhof has created a new spa concept called “Regeneration & Longevity by Krallerhof” and hosts a special women-only longevity retreat once a year, featuring workshops, treatments and special experiences such as ice bathing.

 

Naturhotel Forsthofgut, also in Leogang, is a sustainable farm turned luxury hotel, currently run in the fifth generation of the Schmuck family. It features Europe’s first forest spa, an adult-only haven that stretches across 3,500 m² with an old-wood sauna, herbal and steam baths and a 25 m infinity pool boasting stunning mountain views. Other standout wellness features are the onsen-style pool (42°C) and an authentic onsen washing area where traditional cleansing rituals are practiced. Families with children are welcomed in a separate water world with two pools and inviting relaxation areas.
