Cortisen Am See

Cortisen am See

Saint Wolfgang, Austria

With its lake and mountain views and off-beat artwork, Cortisen am See is an independently owned hotel designed by the owner, Roland. He’s collected quirky trinkets on his world travels, and used them in the decor, making for a bold change from typical Salzkammergut style. The walls and furniture are a mix of lime greens, fuchsia pinks and bright purples mixed with more calming grays, muted golds and cornflower blues, and each room is decorated with a different theme and palette. You’ll also find a spa area with an extensive gym, heated water beds, a steam bath and saunas, as well as a full range of beauty and massage treatments.

Cortisen am See is a short walk from the port and main square of Saint Wolfgang, where you can find shops, cafés and restaurants. There’s also a restaurant and bar within the hotel. The hotel offers activities such as water sports and hiking trails, and will let you rent a Harley-Davidson motorbike if you’re interested in exploring the surrounding country roads.

OUR OPINION:

We love this property’s bold and eccentric style. Roland has mixed modern flare with the historic building in an inventive style like no other in the area.
