Historic hotel: 400-year history combined with modern architecture
That the former summer palace Velden is over 400 years old cannot be seen in the buildings themselves. Converted into a palace hotel in 1926, the site was restored in the 1990s on behalf of the well-known playboy Gunter Sachs, and extended with a modern annexe. The result is a successful mix of modern and historical architecture, impressively complementing the luxurious ambience of the House. Velden Palace was the location of the popular TV series "Ein Schloss am Wörthersee" ("A palace on Wörthersee) in the early 1990s.
Golf Hotel: 4 golf courses nearby and on-site courses
Numerous golf courses in the Carinthia region offer up to 20% green fee reductions exclusively for the guests of the Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden - a great opportunity to work on your handicap. The golf course on the Köstenberger plateau is located very close (10 km) and offers a breathtaking view to the Karawanken mountains. You can also improve your game on the hotel’s putting green and in the indoor golf simulator.
Food & drink: Lakeside restaurant with outdoor terrace, award-winning gourmet cuisine
An exquisite breakfast buffet greets guests in the elegant restaurant "Seespitz", directly on the Wörthersee lake. The restaurant connects to the hotel complex underground. From 11:30, the normal restaurant operates, serving a primarily traditional, Alpine-Adriatic inspired cuisine. Gourmets will favour the 4-star restaurant "Schlossstern", headed by Michelin-starred chef Paul Schrott. Open from 19:00, Tuesday to Saturday, the restaurant offers outstanding culinary creations, and panoramic lake views from the terrace. The cosy Schlossbar serves the in-house Schlossbräu beer, and is regularly frequented by the locals. Anyone looking for refreshment after exercise or spa treatments can enjoy coffee, tea, freshly pressed fruit juices, champagne and small appetizers in the SPA Lounge Bistro.
Sport & leisure: Exclusive spa area, gym with sea views, private beach club and numerous facilities for an active holiday
The 3,600 sqm Acquapura SPA offers multifaceted wellness options. The sauna area with Finnish sauna and herb bio-sauna, massage lounge and the large indoor pool allow for relaxation in any weather. A special fitness room is reserved for pilates, meditation and yoga. Cardio, strength and free weight training equipment is available in the area of the gym which overlooks the lake. The lake panorama can also be enjoyed from the exclusive garden pool. The hotel’s private beach club offers an outdoor pool and private access to the lake, for guests to jump into the cool water or send time sunbathing. In addition, the small marina has 15 mooring berths for private yachts. The hotel’s motorboat is also kept here. In the summer, the Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden provides the perfect base for water sports enthusiasts who enjoy sailing and kite surfing, and for nature lovers, who can explore the mountains of Carinthia. In winter, the nearby ski resorts of Gerlitzen, Dreiländereck or the Katschberg mountains entice. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the ski areas, and also takes care of the transporting of equipment.
