3 Best Hotels in St. Wolfgang, Salzkammergut

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 Austrian countryside, as playful jewel tones, whimsical décor, and international contemporary art abound. Fresh, local ingredients permeate the menu in the award-winning restaurant and the breakfast may be one of the best experiences. The staff is fantastic. There's a 25-meter indoor panorama pool, billiard room, library, and cigar lounge, and Harley rentals are available. No children under 16 are allowed.

Secluded, quiet, and offering excellent service, this old ivy-covered manor hotel is tucked away from the hubbub of the village and offers sailboats and rowboats to enjoy the direct lake access. There’s a tennis court and spa facilities including a Finnish sauna, bio sauna, and steam room. Guest rooms are a mixture of country antiques and modern pieces, with grand overtones. Some have large balconies overlooking the lake. Sip cocktails at the beach bar or dine on fresh, seasonal à la carte choices at the restaurant. 

Family-owned since the 1800s, the "White Horse" guest rooms and apartments, in nine connected houses, are full of the country charm, flowered fabrics, and quaint furniture brought to the big screen in the movie version of the idyllic Austrian operetta of the same name. Many rooms have balconies with a lake view. The outdoor pool, directly on the lake, is heated to a constant 86°F year-round, and you can relax with a massage in the spa. Two restaurants, the upscale Poll's Kaiserterrasse and the classic Austrian Seerestaurant both offer delicious dishes and amazing lake views. The hotel is world-famous, so book well in advance, especially for the summer.
