Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, Salzburg

Is there any better way to experience the hills of the Sound of Music than with a stay in a fairytale castle? We don’t think so – and nowhere does fairytale quite like Rosewood’s Schloss Fuschl. The castle houses 98 accommodations, including 42 suites and six lakefront chalets, each space reflecting the property’s storied past through thoughtful design and authentic details.

Within the castle grounds, days unfold at your own pace. Hop onboard the hotel’s traditional wooden boat for a trip across Lake Fuschl’s waters, guide yourself on a botanical walk along its shores or simply relax in the spa. In the evening, sate your hungry appetite with dinner at one of the hotel’s four distinct restaurants. Regional specialties take center stage at Schloss Restaurant, while Vinothek honours traditional ‘Wirthaus’ dining. Floor-to-ceiling windows guarantee year-round lakeside views as you dine at Seeterrase, while from spring through autumn, the See Club transforms into an alpine beach club, serving fresh seafood and grilled dishes under mountain skies.

Location

A stay in a castle naturally demands the royal treatment, so arrive in style at Schloss Fuschl in the back of a vintage Rolls-Royce. Or better still, skip the traffic and take to the air, landing at the hotel’s very own helipad. Surrounded by fresh mountain air, with views over deep lakes, thick forests and green pastures – it’s hard to believe that Schloss Fuschl is just 25 minutes from cultural Salzburg. This legendary hotel really does have prime position. Swimming, hiking, museum hopping – it’s all just off your doorstep.

Your Room

The property’s 98 accommodations blend seamlessly into their alpine setting, each offering a thoughtful balance of historic elegance and contemporary comfort. For ultimate peace and tranquillity, head to one of the lakeside chalets and enjoy the warmth of the sauna and the crackling of the fire. The Deluxe Heritage Suite, positioned within the castle’s original tower, commands sweeping lake views from its elevated position – a sophisticated sanctuary that honours the building’s architectural legacy.

Why We Like It

Schloss Fuschl is a real treat for the eyes. From the artworks of the Old Masters that adorn the walls to breathtaking landscapes – you’ll hardly know where to look next. Whatever the weather though, our favorite place to be has to be the jetty, See Club. On warm, sunny days, sit back and enjoy a cooling refreshment before jumping into the lake’s pristine waters. Whilst in the winter months, look out over the wintry landscape as you wrap up warm in fur blankets with a mug of the legendary tongs punch in hand.
