Most houses sit between 250 and 400 € a night.Arabella Jagdhof Resort am Fuschlsee · HöfnerhäuserIf you are comparing luxury spa hotels in Austria, look beyond the room rate at spa size and meals: at some houses, half board for two is included when you book through suitespot, and the Vila Vita Pannonia Pamhagen adds an upgrade to half board. Some houses require a minimum stay of two nights. You will find all houses with availability in the hotel list below.

What usually comes with it: at most houses, daily breakfast for two is included, plus an upgrade on arrival subject to availability. A hotel credit of USD 100 comes with DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort Grossarl and the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol, and at the Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg it is for food and beverages. On top with suitespot: access to the Asaya Spa and See Club at Rosewood Schloss Fuschl.

Points and status are available at several houses: Leaders Club at the Alpin Resort Sacher Seefeld, for example, I Prefer at the Imlauer Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, GHA Discovery at the Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg and Marriott Bonvoy at the Arabella Jagdhof Resort am Fuschlsee.

When to go: wellness works at these houses all year round. In summer the lake clubs open, in Fuschl from May to October and in Velden from May to mid-September; in winter the ski-in/ski-out houses sit right on the slopes. If you plan a spring trip, ask about closing periods – the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol, for example, takes a break of several weeks.
