Fodor's Expert Review Cortisen am See

A large chalet-style structure with a glowing yellow facade, "At the Court" has become one of St. Wolfgang's most stylish and comfortable hotels. It has a lakeside perch with its own beach, rowboats, and plenty of mountain bikes. Inside, you'll wonder if you're still in the tradition-loving Austria countryside—playful jewel tones, tin lanterns, Swedish woods, and international contemporary art abound. Fresh, local ingredients permeate the menu in the award-winning restaurant, reserved only for hotel guests, and there's dining on the lakeside terrace, too. The hotel manager and owner, Roland Ballner, is proud to offer not only the largest wine and single-malt scotch selections in the area but also its most exotic cigar collection. Note that no children under 12 are allowed.
