Vienna

is home to some of the best spa hotels in Austria. It’s also a stunning city in its own right. Imperial palaces, including the Schonbrunn Palace, the Hofburg and the Belvedere Palace vie for visitors’ attention, while traditional coffee shops and wine taverns serve fine products against a backdrop of Baroque elegance.

Salzburg

Once upon a time, Mozart roamed the dignified streets of Salzburg. Two hundred and fifty years on, the city looks much the same and there is still a strong bind to classical music. Its lavish architecture, graceful domes, and fresh mountain air are the very essence of Austria, and staying in a spa hotel here really soothes the senses.

Linz

Between Vienna and Salzburg lies the city of Linz with its ultra-modern flare. Upper Austria’s capital manages to delicately tread the line between tradition and change. Designated a UNESCO City of Media Arts, Linz boasts an array of modern museums that sit comfortably alongside 17th c. cathedrals and 15th c. frescos.

Innsbruck

The dramatic scenery of Innsbruck lures travellers to some of the most stunning spa hotels in Austria. Its stunning old town is filled with quaint streets, Baroque architecture, and impressive monuments, including the Triumphal Arch and the Federal State Parliament building. Outside the city, lie magnificent alpine pastures and an Olympic ski jump ramp.
