Elegance and timeless luxury

Located on the shores of the picturesque turquoise-blue Lake Fuschl, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl officially opened its doors on July 1, 2024. It is the second location of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts in Austria following the opening of Rosewood Vienna in 2022. The carefully restored 15th century castle in the heart of the Austrian Alps combines traditional elegance, timeless luxury and natural beauty. It also offers all modern amenities for an unparalleled experience. The resort, with a total of 98 stylishly furnished guest rooms, including 42 exclusive suites and six cozy chalets, was designed as an authentic alpine retreat and offers discerning travelers an upscale lifestyle.

"At Rosewood, we are committed to creating experiences that not only celebrate the rich history of this iconic destination, but also invite our guests to embark on a journey of discovery and connection."

Schloss Fuschl
A symphony of design and history

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl combines elegance and tradition with its masterfully restored historic tower, stylishly modernized guest rooms, inviting lobby and magnificent public areas. Built back in 1461 as a hunting lodge for the Salzburg prince archbishops, it served as a venue for legendary hunts and royal gatherings for centuries. Over the years, the estate has played host to a select society, including famous film stars such as Romy Schneider, who filmed some scenes of the legendary Sisi film trilogy here, as well as many other internationally renowned personalities. Since its transformation into a luxury hotel in 1947, the estate has attracted worldwide attention for its incomparable beauty.

There is an evening atmosphere at Schloss Fuschl: in the middle of the picture, a footbridge leads out onto Lake Fuschl. On the right bank you can see the castle in a golden glow. The sun has just set. The light is reflected on the water.

Alpine panorama, meadows and pastures

Fantastic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains alternate with glimpses of various types of forest, meadows and pastures. The Fuschlseerundweg is a path that is mostly close to the lakeshore – only on the western shore, at Fuschl Castle and in the area where the Fuschler Ache flows out, does the path move away from the lakeshore a little, but leads through a scenically attractive nature reserve.

Schloss Fuschl stands for lifestyle: you can see the spa area with its elegant interior in beige and brown tones. The focal point is the linear pool, which is framed by angular columns. Lights are reflected on the water.
