Rosewood Schloss Fuschl

Excellent stay here. Luxirious vibe and considerate services.

The most magical place I have ever visited. Perfectly poised between the stunning backdrop of the Austrian Alps and elevated by the designers of Rosewood: The cutting edge artistry blending new with old, the history which is revered, the lake Club, the service quality, the unique amenities - all unforgettable. I will return to feel that incredible soul rejuvenating sense again. And I will never stop recommending this property.

Schloss Fuschl is definitely the best hotel in Salzburg area which allows you to combine a relaxed type of holiday on the lake with attending the Festival and fine dining. Me and my family, being for many years Fuschl’s returning guests, were awaiting its reopening with great anxiety, happy to be able to include a week at Fuschl lake in our summer schedule. Upon arrival, we were glad to discover that the renovation has not changed the historical ambience of the place. Overall, we had a great week in Schloss Fuschl and I was considering to give it a four out of five. The one point off is due to the change of breakfast concept which we didn’t appreciate. Old Schloss used to have a high quality breakfast buffet which we liked a lot. The new a la carte concept is probably aimed at saving money to the hotel but for guests it’s less convenient - you loose time waiting, you have much less freedom and variety while picking your breakfast selection, you never know the size of portions when ordering for the first time, etc. We’re strongly against a la carte breakfasts. The reason I’m giving it a three and not a four is that today, on our last day of staying, the hotel staff did everything possible to screw the day for us. First the concierge did not give the taxi driver a correct name and location of the restaurant that we booked and so we ended up in a wrong place, secondly our room cleaning was not done until 3pm even though we asked for 10am every day and last but not least - the spa manager Eva and the jetty guy Yann decided to cancel our pre-booked 1-hour boat trip because of 15% chance of rain for the time when the trip was supposed to finish. We were told this only after coming all the way down to the jetty and then Eva was also openly lying to her colleague saying that she apparently called me to the room and warned about the rain. Well, now as I’m writing this review, two hours have passed and there is still no rain. I was deeply offended by how Yann, Eva and the third lady in blue dress of Hindu appearance handled this situation, seeing the sun shining and four customers staying by the boat ready to board. We would also suggest the hotel to establish Whatapp chats with arriving guests to improve communication. The guest service button on the hotel phone rarely worked because nobody answered the calls.

I recently stayed at the newly renovated Schloss Fuschl, a hotel that boasts a truly breathtaking location near Salzburg. Nestled beside one of the most stunning lakes in the world, the natural beauty surrounding this property is nothing short of spectacular. The serene waters, framed by lush, rolling hills and vibrant greenery, create a picturesque backdrop that is almost otherworldly. It’s easy to lose yourself in the tranquil environment, with the glistening lake reflecting the sky and the calmness of nature seeping into your soul. The decor of the hotel itself is exceptional, seamlessly blending modern luxury with classic charm, making it a feast for the eyes at every turn. However, despite the unparalleled beauty of the setting and the impressive decor, the experience at Schloss Fuschl was unfortunately marred by significant issues with service. The hotel, having opened only a month ago, clearly needed a soft opening period to address operational inefficiencies before welcoming outside guests. The service was disorganized, with staff morale appearing to be notably low. This led to an experience that fell far short of the standards one would expect from a Rosewood property, especially given the exorbitant cost of staying here. Upon arrival, we made our way to the dock, hoping to enjoy the remaining daylight by the lake. Unfortunately, the dock was filthy, littered with dirty towels and dishes, and there was no staff member in sight to assist us. This lack of attention to detail was disappointing, particularly given that there were still several hours of daylight left to enjoy the lake. The unkempt state of such a central part of the hotel’s outdoor experience was unacceptable. Dinner was another disappointing experience. The restaurant was packed with outside guests, making it nearly impossible for us, as hotel guests, to find a proper table. We were forced to sit at the bar while waiting, and even after the restaurant cleared out, no one came to offer us a table. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive, consistently telling us they were too busy whenever we tried to place a drink or food order. Upon further observation, it was clear that the front management had set the servers up for failure, which is inexcusable. While I understand that new openings can come with challenges, the issues at Schloss Fuschl go beyond typical growing pains. The service problems are severe enough to detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to enjoy the hotel’s otherwise outstanding location and decor. The Rosewood brand is known for its impeccable service, but unfortunately, this property falls short of that reputation. For travelers considering a stay here, I would recommend canceling your reservation if you are still within your cancellation window. The hotel is not ready to be open, and the experience is not worth the high cost. The management needs to take immediate action to resolve these issues before this beautiful property’s re

Nice attempt, but service is quite mediocre, the staff isn’t trained properly, the rooms we were staying were missing handles on the toilet doors, or there were no “do not disturb” signs. It was quite a quest to reach someone on the desk, too. The spa phone went right onto voicemail too. But the place is amazing and the views are to die for.
