Set against the dramatic panorama of the Austrian Alps, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl is poised to redefine luxury travel with its official opening on July 1, 2024. Located on the serene shores of Lake Fuschl near Salzburg, this historic site has transitioned from a 15th-century hunting lodge for the Archbishop of Salzburg to a premier destination for discerning travellers.
Originally established in 1461, the property has hosted a diverse range of guests, including prominent figures and celebrities like Romy Schneider, who starred in the “Sissi” film trilogy shot at this very location. Now under the banner of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®, the castle merges a rich past with contemporary luxury, marking it as the brand’s second venture in Austria and seventh in Europe.
The extensive renovation of the former Hotel Schloss Fuschl has culminated in the creation of 98 guestrooms, including 42 suites and 6 private chalets. Each room promises elegance and comfort, furnished to reflect both the property’s heritage and modern aesthetics. The resort also features several world-class dining venues, an integrative spa named Asaya, and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
“As we prepare for the opening of this peaceful lakeside resort, we look forward to offering guests an authentic and exclusive experience for the wellness enthusiast, naturalist epicurean, cultural aficionado, and more. As a living chapter of Austrian heritage, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl connects the past and present by perfectly harmonizing tradition, with the pleasure of modern luxury.” – Sascha Hemmann, Managing Director of Rosewood Schloss Fuschl
