A Symphony of Design and History
Originally constructed in 1461 as a hunting lodge for the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg, Schloss Fuschl served as the backdrop for legendary hunts and court gatherings for over three centuries. The property has hosted an illustrious array of guests over the years, from iconic film stars, like Romy Schneider from the famed Sissi film trilogy partially produced in Schloss Fuschl, to esteemed foreign dignitaries. Its transformation into a luxury hotel in 1947 marked a new chapter, captivating global attention for its unparalleled beauty.

In the property’s new iteration as Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, every aspect of the design pays homage to its rich history and the region’s mountainous natural surroundings. The entire resort is inspired by the local flora and fauna, with public spaces including the spa and guest rooms designed by international design firm G.A Group and heritage suites and chalets designed by Austrian-based interior design firm, Bauer Stahl, to reflect the palettes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.   Hand-painted mini bars depicting the four seasons by local Austrian artist Marie Hartig are featured throughout all guestrooms, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary luxury.
