Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Austria

Vacations in Austria 

Enchanting, romantic, historic Austria, a country of renaissance architecture, baroque beauty and high culture; of imperial heritage, fairytale castles and spectacular palaces; of finessed cuisine, exquisite teahouses and fine wine. Our luxury hotels in Austria immerse you in the best of it, in or close to its wonderful, cosmopolitan cities including Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck, and on the doorstep of incredible natural beauty, epic Alpine landscapes and a wonderland of winter sports. 

Calling all couples: romantic getaways in Austria 

Holidays in Austria can feel like a movie backdrop of old-school European perfection, and our hotels in Austria offer almost impossibly scenic locales for your adventures, from elegant townhouse hotels promising refined hospitality to mountain chalets, surrounded by slopes of wildflowers in summer and pristine snow in winter. You can also channel your inner nobility and stay in ancient castles overlooking picturesque vistas (the legendary ‘Blue’ Danube river carves a beautiful path through the region), or stay in small villages in the heart of wine country. Now imagine it all with a soundtrack of Johann Strauss’s waltzes or Mozart’s most memorable melodies. 

Fine dining restaurants in Austria: pure culinary diversity 

Our luxury hotels in Austria all boast impressive culinary credentials, with chefs inspired by the terroir that surrounds them and presenting local and regional dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients–fish caught in Alpine rivers with the cleanest of waters, meat reared in the clean air of mountain farms, wild game, foraged, farm- or homegrown fruits and vegetables. Expect classic Austrian fare, creative cooking that reinterprets the strudels and schnitzels Austria is famous for, and innovative flavor pairings that reflect the country’s geographic position and the borders it shares with eight countries. All of our gastronomic restaurants in Austria present accomplished, artistic dishes, and some have Michelin stars. 

As well as food, the wide spectrum of locally produced wine is showcased in our gourmet restaurants in Austria – Neuburger, Riesling, Gabarinza, Grüner Veltliner to name a few, with white wines boasting a distinctive minerality, and reds exhibiting a rich, full-bodied complexity. Our sommeliers will walk you through their favorites and offer delightful pairings for whatever you choose. 

Mountains, rivers and fresh air, experienced from the best luxury hotels in Austria 

Many of our luxury hotels in Austria are found in mountain settings, making them perfect for hiking, biking (electric biking makes steep hills a little easier), fishing, hunting or exploring vineyards in warmer months. Some of our hotels in Austria offer mountain guides to take you off the beaten track, where you can discover wild orchids and fossils, and spot wild animals.  

Alternatively, take in those epic mountain views on horse-back; enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the Danube, stopping only to cool off at one of the river beaches; visit wineries for guided tastings; and finish the night with an al fresco dinner, as the sun sets behind the mountains and gives way to clear, starry nights.  

Winter wonderlands and some of the world’s biggest ski areas 

And then there are the delights of winter sports, when our luxury hotels in Austria are surrounded by a blanket of snow–in fact, the country has some of the biggest ski resorts in the world, offering on- and off-piste fun for all levels, with hundreds of miles of runs. Some individual ski runs are more than 6 miles (10km) long, and you can also ski on glaciers–a unique pleasure that can be enjoyed into the summer months. Tired muscles can be soothed in the excellent hammams, saunas and heated pools of our luxury spa hotels in Austria. 

Whatever the time of year, our boutique hotels in Austria are never far from the renowned café culture of the region – the art of coffee having been perfected here since the 17^th century. Discover Austria’s renowned, traditional and majestic teahouses to truly take the pulse of its towns and cities. Don’t forget nature is never far, even in urban environments: the capital Vienna features the enormous Prater park, offering more than 8 miles (just under 13 kilometers) of footpaths through shaded forests, meadows and more. 

Our values: Relais & Châteaux in Austria 

Our global collection of luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants is made up of independently owned establishments, no two the same, and often run by families whose history stretches back generations and decades. You’ll feel the warmth of their welcome and the benefit of a personal touch as you enjoy attentive service. 

You’ll also feel how important our eco hotels in Austria are to their local communities, with strong connections between our staff and local suppliers, farmers, winemakers and more. Our establishments also carefully look after their surroundings, whether tending their gardens to enhance biodiversity, cultivating fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices to use in our kitchens, or collaborating to protect, preserve and restore natural spaces in their locality.
