The Top 24 Hotels Near Apollo AchtQuartier Das Hotel am Mondsee

  1. Eight rooms on the shore of Lake Mondsee, each with floor-to-ceiling windows aimed directly at the Alps. This small boutique hotel keeps things pleasantly low-key: shiplap walls, mid-century furnishings, and a quietly nautical feel that stops well short of rope coils and anchors. Guests get direct lakeshore access and an infinity pool that makes the Salzkammergut look like it was arranged for their benefit, which, effectively, it was.


  2. A 15th-century hunting lodge on the glassy shores of Lake Fuschl, about half an hour from Salzburg, now running as a Rosewood luxury hotel with 98 rooms and chalets. The bones are castle; the interior is modern-luxe, with hand-painted minibars and original stonework sharing the same hallway. Six restaurants lean into Austrian alpine cooking, and the Asaya Spa has an infinity pool pointed squarely at the mountains. The Michelin Guide awarded it 3 Keys.



  3. The entrance is so flush with the medieval storefronts of Getreidegasse that guests sometimes walk straight past it, which is either a flaw or a feature depending on your mood. This old-school hotel inside a landmark Altstadt building pairs antique Austrian furnishings with rainfall showers and soundproof windows, and a Les Clefs d'Or concierge who can arrange a private tour of basically anything Mozart-adjacent within walking distance.




  4. A family-run hotel on a slender peninsula poking into Lake Traunsee, where some rooms let you step directly into the alpine water, which is either your idea of heaven or a very cold mistake. The Bootshaus restaurant handles Upper Austrian cuisine with floor-to-ceiling lake views doing most of the decorating. A panorama sauna overlooks the same water, and private lake access runs around the clock for those who treat swimming as a lifestyle.


  5. The Watzmann massif fills your balcony view every morning at this Berchtesgaden hotel, which rose from the bones of an old luxury property and landed somewhere more interesting. Shared long tables and a beer garden with live music sit alongside a natural pool and blonde-wood rooms that feel like a clean breath of alpine air. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Romantics, hikers, and eco-tourists all seem to find their way here.


  6. Seven rooms in the Bavarian Alps, designed as if someone finally asked whether rustic and restrained could coexist. The answer, at this boutique hotel, involves parquet floors and rough-hewn headboards alongside contemporary art and modernist furniture, with the mountains doing the decorative heavy lifting through the windows. Breakfast is a proper Alpine spread, the bar pours well, and the humidor is stocked for those who measure altitude in cigars. It holds a Michelin Key.



  7. A thermal spa resort built around natural hot springs in Lower Bavaria, where the line between wellness and medicine gets pleasantly blurry. Rooms lean modern-rustic with bathrooms that could pass for their own spa suites. Two restaurants cover Bavarian comfort and fine dining, so the health-first ethos stops short of making you eat sad food. The pools, saunas, and treatment facilities are comprehensive enough to fill several days without repeating yourself.






  8. Tucked between the Chiemsee and the Kampenwand peaks in Upper Bavaria, Das Achental is a resort that threads the needle between rustic Bavarian charm and genuinely modern comfort, exposed timber and stone on the outside, sleek bathrooms and contemporary design within. The spa is expansive, there's an 18-hole golf course, and the dining runs from beer garden classics to a serious gastronomic restaurant. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.



  9. Floor-to-ceiling glass puts Lake Chiemsee front and center at this modern luxury hotel, a deliberate counterpoint to the alpine-kitsch resorts lining the same shore. Milanese architect Matteo Thun pulled the design from the landscape itself, using local wood and stone to keep things grounded while the suites lean into open-air Japanese soaking tubs and fireplaces that look borrowed from a sci-fi set. A sushi bar and cocktail lounge handle evenings. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.


  10. A German count bought an aging Bavarian Alps hotel and turned it into a mountain retreat, which sounds like the opening of a fairy tale, mostly because it is. Gut Steinbach is a resort on a high plateau with an organic farm, alpine chalets around a natural pond, and a spa with mirrored ceilings and a large indoor pool. The main lodge runs to native wood and glass, with rooms that lean into a hunting-lodge aesthetic without going full taxidermy. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.


  11. Every room faces the mountain, and the windows run floor to ceiling so nothing gets in the way. Das Edelweiss is a ski-in, ski-out alpine resort in the Großarl valley, the kind where après-ski feels like a second career, the infinity pool frames a snowcap sunset, and the interiors lean hard on warm natural wood. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.



  12. Sixteen Icelandic horses live on the grounds, which tells you a lot about what kind of resort this is. Set in Austria's Großarl valley, Moar Gut is an all-inclusive mountain retreat built around the logic that children and adults should both be comprehensively worn out by bedtime. Trampolines, a petting zoo, alpine treks, multiple pools, a full spa, and, somehow, a baby spa. Rooms run to natural wood and stone with balconies for the view. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.


  13. The heated infinity pool hangs over the Grossarl valley like a dare, and it sets the tone for this alpine spa hotel. An indoor pool connects to an outdoor one, a natural swimming pond sits alongside the saunas and steam baths, and there's an open-air garden bar for post-spa drinks. Rooms come with native wood and mountain balconies; suites add fireplaces and hot tubs. Yoga and guided hikes are included, and a ski lift is right across the road.


  14. A natural swimming pond anchors the garden of this five-star family-run hotel in Zell am See, which tells you something about its priorities. Alpine wood, open fireplaces, and classically furnished rooms set a quietly unhurried tone, while a vast spa gives you somewhere to disappear. Austrian cuisine is served in richly appointed salons, and the lake is a short walk away for when you eventually feel like leaving.
