12 New Hotels For Winter Weather Travel in Europe - AFAR

"A reimagined 15th-century lakeside castle resort and spa that opened in 2024, offering 98 airy rooms with lake and forest views and hearty Austrian cuisine in its main restaurant (think crispy schnitzels and venison tartare). The property includes an elegant tea salon producing elaborate pastries, an in-house strudel baking class, and a modern spa whose three saunas feature an old-world aufguss ritual using local essential oils and even beer essence. An outdoor thermal infinity pool perches over a woodsy ravine and a trail circles Lake Fuschl for scenic walks." - Adam H. Graham
