Rosewood to Take Over Management of Historic Lakeside Resort In Austria

(12 August 2022, 10:39 +07)  Rosewood has been appointed by Arabella Hospitality, a subsidiary of Schörghuber Corporate Group, to manage the legendary Hotel Schloss Fuschl in Austria.

Located on a bank of Lake Fuschl, surrounded by mountains and forests, Hotel Schloss Fuschl is only a short distance away from picturesque Salzburg, a city famous for its history, culture, music and more.

First used as a hotel space in 1954, Hotel Schloss Fuschl was initially constructed as a castle to serve as a country escape for Austrian royalty, with its original structure dating back to 1450.

The resort currently operates as a Luxury Collection Resort under Marriott International.

Once the property has been rebranded and officially joins Rosewood’s portfolio in late 2023, it will be the brand’s second property in Austria following Rosewood Vienna which opened earlier this month.

“We are pleased to continue our growth in Austria, with the addition of this beautiful and tranquil lakeside property. Complementing the opening of Rosewood Vienna, this property expands our presence in this storied destination with a unique resort offering,” said Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. “Reimagining and restoring historic spaces has become an integral part of Rosewood’s brand DNA, and we are honored to be entrusted with continuing the legacy of this notable property.”

The full renovation, beginning in 2022, will update the structure and grounds to feature 98 guestrooms, including 46 suites and six chalets.

Once complete, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl will be home to a choice of restaurants and lounges and will also feature a spa with eight treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a fitness center.

“My family is once again investing heavily in the substance of this magical place and in its soul,” said Florian Schörghuber, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Schörghuber Corporate Group. “Along with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts who, with their A Sense of Place philosophy, are the perfect partner for Schloss Fuschl; we will lead our hotel into a new, successful era and secure and expand it as a home of exceptional hospitality and equally as an important economic contributor to the province of Salzburg.”

This is the second partnership between Arabella Hospitality and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, with the brands currently working together to debut Rosewood Munich.
