Released 20 March 2024

In the edge of the majestic Austrian Alps, the new Rosewood Schloss Fuschl unfolds against the backdrop of centuries past, where the air is infused with the echoes of history. With the booking platform now open to the public, guests can experience the alpine escape once exclusively designed for Austrian nobility. This summer, the doors of this prestigious establishment will officially open July 1, 2024, extending a warm invitation to travelers seeking a unique blend of luxury and heritage in the heart of Austria, near Salzburg - a city celebrated for its culture and tradition.

Originating in 1461 as a grand hunting lodge and summer residence for the Archbishop of Salzburg, the prestigious property has evolved into a premier resort destination, renowned for its refinement and serenity on the tranquil shores of Lake Fuschl. Hosting an illustrious array of guests, from iconic film stars, like Romy Schneider from the famed Sissi film trilogy produced in Schloss Fuschl, to esteemed foreign dignitaries, this alpine region has been enveloped in a rich tapestry of stories throughout its dynamic heritage. A new chapter beckons with the grand reopening of this enchanting property under the prestigious banner of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®. Representing the brand's second venture in Austria and the seventh in Europe with the opening of Rosewood Munich last October, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl stands as a testament to opulence and history.

"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,” says Sascha Hemmann, Managing Director of Rosewood Schloss Fuschl. “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.”

A Fusion of History and Modern Indulgence

Situated on the picturesque banks of Lake Fuschl, this luxurious resort promises an exquisite blend of the old and the new, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the timeless charm of a castle that has witnessed the passage of centuries.
