Hotel Schloss Dürnstein enjoys a unique location on a rock high above the Danube River, at the heart of the Wachau World Heritage Site.
    Built in 1630, it combines the atmosphere of a historic castle with modern comfort. Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sauna, a steambath, and a solarium. The terrace overlooking the Danube is said to be the most beautiful along the entire river.

    This Renaissance castle was built in 1630 and was owned for centuries by the Starhemberg family. During the past years it was turned into a classy hotel by its new owners, the Thiery family.

    The restaurant and its unique, world-famous terrace present a wonderful ambiance for your meal. Mario Bachhofer and his team will pamper you with local delicacies and international gourmet dishes. The wine cellar features a wide range of quality wines from the Wachau and other parts of Austria, as well as the well-known international brands.
For festivities of all kinds, the restaurant can seat up to 120 persons.

The surrounding area invites you to taste Austria’s best wines, to ride your bike along the Danube, to hike in the hills or to visit one of the castles and museums in the region. Naturally, the Wachau can also be discovered from a boat. The Danube and its beaches are a popular recreation area. The proximity to Vienna gives you many opportunities even in bad weather.
