Schloss Prielau Hotel & Restaurant, a Design Boutique Hotel Zell am See, Austria

"The historic Schloss Prielau (Prielau Castle) is located on the northern shore of Lake Zell, surrounded by a park and only 220 yards from the lake. First mentioned in 1425, Prielau Castle was turned into a luxury hotel in the late 1980s. Behind the castle there are ponds for fish farming and a pen for raising deer. The spire of a beautiful baroque chapel rises above the towers of the castle at a discreet distance. In addition to 2 gourmet restaurants, Hotel Schloss Prielau lets you enjoy a spa area with sauna, steam bath and massages in the castle’s “bath house”. There is a private beach on the lake, complete with wooden pier, beach house and comfortable deck chairs. The ski areas of the Europa Sports Region can be reached in only a few minutes." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
