Dear friend of Austria,                                                     

Last week we gave you a few ideas of what to explore during your next stay in Austria, today we will give you some suggestions for places to rest and restore for all your adventures ahead! 

Here is an update to our Austria Hotel Collection, with currently 29 properties. 
Curated by us each year, the Austria Hotel Collection is more than a list of places to stay — it’s a selection of independently owned, uniquely Austrian hotels that embody authenticity, style, and warm hospitality. From imperial city icons to wellness sanctuaries and modern design standouts, this collection is all about Austrian Lebensgefühl.

Warmly,
Sigrid Pichler
