In 2022, we saw the closing of Schloss Fuschl, a Marriott Luxury Collection property, located near Salzburg, Austria. The plan was for the hotel to undergo a full renovation, and then reopen as a Rosewood. Well, the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl has just reopened, and I wanted to go over all the details.

Basics of the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl

The Rosewood Schloss Fuschl has reopened as of July 1, 2024, after a closure of nearly two years. For context, this luxury property is located on the shores of Lake Fuschl, surrounded by mountains and forests, so it’s a pretty gorgeous setting that feels like it’s right out of a fairytale.

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl setting

The property has quite a history — the 15th century landmark was initially constructed as a castle, to serve as a country escape for Austrian royalty. The original structure of the complex dates all the way back to 1450.

Schloss Fuschl first opened as a hotel in 1954, so it has been welcoming guests continuously for nearly 70 years. This was certainly one of the more charming Marriott properties in Europe, and I know it’ll be missed by many Bonvoy loyalists.

With the full renovation, we’ve seen an update to the structure of the buildings, as well as the grounds. The hotel now features 98 guest rooms, including 46 suites and six chalets. The Rosewood Schloss Fuschl also features new dining concepts, as well as Asaya, Rosewood’s integrative well-being concept, with eight spa treatment rooms, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, and a fitness center.

This marks Rosewood’s second property in Austria, after the Rosewood Vienna, which recently opened. The Rosewood Munich also recently opened — while in Germany, it’s not far from Salzburg.

For those not familiar with Rosewood, the luxury hotel group has roughly 30 properties at the moment, though it has roughly the same number of properties in the pipeline. I’d say Rosewood competes most closely with Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental, in terms of footprint, service, and pricing.

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl rates & how to book

What are rates like at the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl? As you’d expect, they vary seasonally — currently I see rates starting at €450 per night during winter, and starting at around €800 per night during summer. There’s some variation based on the day of the week, specific popular periods, etc. These rates are before a third night free promotion that’s currently available through Rosewood, which bring the rates down quite a bit.

I appreciate that Rosewood’s website has a rate calendar, allowing you to easily compare rates for months at a time.

Of course like most luxury hotels, you’re best off booking through a program that can offer more value. In the case of Rosewood, you’re typically best off reserving through a Rosewood Elite travel advisor (you can reach out to [email protected] for help with this). This won’t cost you anything extra, and a Rosewood Elite agent will be able to add extra perks for your stay. What value can a Rosewood Elite travel advisor add?

  • Daily breakfast for up to two people per bedroom
  • Complimentary one-category room upgrade upon arrival (based on availability)
  • A welcome amenity and note
  • Additional property specific elite enhanced amenities, which vary by property; these may include a $100 credit per stay

A couple of further things to note:

  • Rosewood Elite perks can be combined with whatever promotion Rosewood is offering on its website directly
  • Booking through Rosewood Elite is typically better than booking through Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts, because upgrades are prioritized through Rosewood’s own proprietary program; the one benefit of Fine Hotels & Resorts is that it offers guaranteed 4PM check-out, rather than it being subject to availability through Rosewood Elite

Bottom line

The Rosewood Schloss Fuschl has reopened as of July 2024, after undergoing a full refresh. I loved this property when it was a Marriott Luxury Collection hotel. With it now being a Rosewood, it’s no doubt nicer, but also more expensive, with fewer opportunities to earn and redeem points.

What do you make of the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl?

    There is also a NAZI history to Schloss Fuschl. It was the summer residence of NAZI foreign secretary Joachim von Ribbentrop under his direction a lot of land was stolen from surrounding farmers. A hotel with a very dark history!

    Wasn’t this also Joachim von Ribbentrop’s vacation home and where many deals were made?

      Sure was! There are still rumours about Nazi gold hiding in the lake.

    When Rosewood had the Lanesborough in London it was the best hotel in the city.

    Stunning part of the world! This reminded me to have a look if the old Sheraton up the hill was still there, it left Marriott a few years ago. Much to my surprise, it is back with Marriott, now as a Tribute portfolio hotel! ARABELLA JAGDHOF RESORT AM FUSCHLSEE, A TRIBUTE PORTFOLIO HOTEL. Ben, did you ever stay there? It was one of my favourite Sheraton's back in the day.

    Love seeing the Arabella...
