Nestled beside the serene blue waters of Lake Fuschl and the majestic Austrian Alps, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl has unveiled its luxurious transformation. This newly opened resort promises guests an intimate immersion into Austria’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, revitalizing the 15th-century castle with sustainable practices and thoughtful design.
Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury
Originally built in 1461 as a hunting lodge for Salzburg’s Prince-Archbishops, Schloss Fuschl has a storied past, having hosted notable figures from film stars like Romy Schneider to international dignitaries. Converted into a hotel in 1947, it now reopens as Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, featuring 98 guestrooms, including 42 suites and six chalets. Each space, designed by G.A Group and Austrian firm Bauer Stahl, reflects the seasonal palettes of the surrounding landscape, seamlessly blending historical elements with contemporary luxury. Hand-painted minibars by local artist Marie Hartig add unique touches of heritage throughout the rooms.
