The Austria Hotel Collection is the perfect distillation of the country’s diverse offerings, with 29 hotels peppered throughout the landscape, whether you’re dropping into city streets or tightening up your laces to take on shimmering peaks.
When the air turns crisp and the café windows start steaming up, Vienna is at its most cinematic, with coffee houses, cobblestoned lanes and a cultural calendar that makes you wonder if hibernation is really necessary. The city’s hotels dial up the cosiness too.
The Hotel Harmonie Vienna has an artsy, boutique feel that pairs perfectly with a stroll through the nearby Servitenviertel, while the Hotel Altstadt Vienna is practically a living gallery, with each room individually curated and each corner worthy of an Instagram story.

When you are ready to swap city lights for snow-dusted peaks and lakeside stillness, Austria’s more remote gems are waiting. Salzburg is all storybook streets and musical heritage, and the Hotel Blaue Gans, the city’s oldest inn, wraps up 600 years of history in its design-forward ambience.
Over in Innsbruck, the Hotel Nala puts you in the middle of Tyrolean mountain views with a playful, boutique edge.

On the lakes, it is hard to beat the Schlosshotel Velden, perched on the shores of Wörthersee, where a winter spa day can be followed by candlelit dining with the Alps as a backdrop.
In St Wolfgang, the Hotel Weisses Rössl is an icon right on the water, best enjoyed with a glass of grüner veltliner as the snow falls outside.
However, if you are looking to locate a proper alpine village experience, the Eder Collection in Grossarl combines ski-in ski-out access with hearty mountain hospitality that feels like an embrace after a day spent in the storied Austrian outdoors.
Whether you are chasing festive markets, powdery slopes, or simply looking for a reason to drink mulled wine before noon, Austria’s hotel scene has your autumn and winter escapes more than covered.
