Located in Austria, this posh, lakefront hotel offers lavish rooms and is just a five-minute walk from the shore of Lake Wörthersee. Schlosshotel Velden is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and includes an award-winning spa, an indoor pool, and a lovely garden with an outdoor pool.

Overlooking the charming town and lake, the Acquapura Spa includes saunas, a steam room, and a wide selection of massages and beauty treatments for guests to choose from. Rooms combine historic character and modern design, with marble bathrooms and rich, warm fabrics.

Guests will not leave hungry as there are three restaurants and a lounge bar; oh, and breakfast is free! Relax at the elegant Schloss Bar with its walk-in wine cellar. There’s even a library where folks can enjoy tea, coffee and juice as they peruse a selection of international books.

Have I mentioned a personal assistant is provided as a contact for all requests before and during the stay? Book this spot and live in luxury for a bit if you’re ever in Austria!
