Hotel Schachner

Location: The hotel is praised for its stunning location, offering breathtaking views of the Danube and the nearby Maria Taferl Basilica, particularly from the infinity pool and the Sky Lounge.

Our family stayed overnight at Hotel Schachner during our bike trip along the Danube. Although we felt a little out of place in this elegant hotel we enjoyed our stay here. Luckily the hotel has a bike shuttle that will pick you up at the bottom of the hill-- otherwise we would not have made it!!! Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and quiet. We had a nice view of the church spires and the family of kestrels that were roosting there. We did not eat dinner at the hotel since they had only one, overpriced vegetarian option. Instead we ate at the nearby Hotel Rose, which had an amazing "Asia bowl" and stunning terrace views. However, the breakfast was excellent, with every option anyone could want-- honey dripping from the honeycomb, a juice bar where you can make your own fresh juices, all types of milks, desserts... It was the most impressive buffet we had during our travels through Austria. Maria Taferl is a cute little village high on a hill with 360° views. We enjoyed exploring the church and grounds in the evening when most tourists were gone. The views are amazing and you feel transported to a different time and place staying here.
