In 1965, dedicated hosts and owners of some of the most beautiful historic properties imaginable gathered to establish a collaboration that would become known as “Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser”. Today, its membership comprises several establishments in Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Slovakia.

"Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser" represents a welcome alternative for guests who prize individuality, tradition and ancient walls. Holidays spent at venerable houses such as these are a natural response to the needs of people who yearn for places where they can arrive and immediately breathe freely again. Whether a proud knights’ castle, a playful fairy-tale castle, a stately home or elegant city palais – not one member of the Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser group is like another, either in terms of style or in their very personal history. Yet all of them do share one particular trait: They are places of immense power and presence, where history meets innovation & change.

Of course, the hosts of Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser give each establishment their own very personal touch. They see themselves as heirs with a profound responsibility to these historic cultural landmarks, taking the greatest joy in opening their doors and gates to guests, with whom they gladly share their passion for history, tradition and shaping the future.
