  • Most Famous Residents/Guests: Charles I & Zita, Last Emperors of Austria.

    The family friendly & pet friendly, Schloss Wartegg/Wartegg Castle Hotel has comfortable accommodation in a lovely setting by the shores of Lake Constance in North Eastern Switzerland.

    The castle dates back to 1558 and was the birthplace of Zita, the last Empress of Austria & Queen of Hungary, in the 19th century but was extensively renovated in the 1990s.

    The passage of time had resulted in quite a bit of structural damage and so much of the historical fabric was lost during the renovations. This means that the hotel, including the rooms, now looks quite modern internally, which is something of a pity, but it still does retain a certain historical feel.

    There is a quality organic restaurant at Schloss Wartegg, a luxurious spa, a fun playground for the kids and 32 acres of English gardens and trees, with woodland paths leading down to the lake.

    ACCOMMODATION:

    They have 25 rooms and suites at the hotel, from small singles to large family rooms to sleep up to four in two separate sleeping quarters, and junior suites which have a small lounge area.

    The rooms are modern and come with such modern features as Hüsler Nest mattresses, ipod dock sound systems and individual WiFi routers for example, and their style is something akin to a Swiss Chalet, minimalist and clean with lots of pale wood.

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos – on the booking page here.

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    Schloss Wartegg’s Restaurant is well regarded in this part of Switzerland and serves great fresh food with seasonal, gourmet lunch and dinner menus. The food is organic with some of the ingredients coming fresh from the hotel’s own kitchen garden. The accommodation is all B&B and their organic breakfast buffet is a rich and varied feast.

    There is a cosy, wellness area at Schloss Wartegg with historical Turkish baths dating from 1928, and a sauna and steam room, with massage therapies also available.

    The grounds are lovely to wander around with landscaped gardens dating back to 1860 and woodland leading down to the lake. Children will be well taken care of at Schloss Wartegg too with a playground, a playroom and plenty of activities to do.

    Lake Constance is a popular place to visit especially in Summer and Schloss Wartegg sits right beside it. You can swim in the waters and arrange boats trips and all sorts of water sports just minutes from the hotel.

    LOCATION:

    The castle sits by the shores of the lovely Lake Constance, near the borders with both Austria and Germany, and St. Gallen, which has a very pretty old town section, 8th century era abbey and an 18th century UNESCO listed cathedral. It is an hour by car or by train from Zürich and a half an hour by train or about 45 minutes by car from Konstanz, Germany.

    A LITTLE HISTORY:

    The castle was built around 1558 by Kaspar Blarer von Wartensee, Bailiff of Arbon. During the time of the French Revolution it was in the hands of the Bombelles, a family of French aristocrats who had close connections with King Louis XVI. Angélique de Bombelles had extensive correspondence with Madame Elisabeth de France, the sister of King Louis XVI in the times leading up to the revolution while Monseigneur Leclerc de Juigné, Archbishop of Paris, escaped and found sanctuary in Schloss Wartegg.

    In 1822 it passed into the possession of the Swiss, Thurn family, then in 1860 was bought by Louise von Bourbon-Parma, Duchess and Regent of Parma, and it was she who organized the landscaping of the grounds and the building of the English gardens.

    Her granddaughter Zita, born in 1892, would become the wife of Charles, the last Emperor & King of Austro-Hungarian Empire, and so become herself the last Empress & Queen when the empire folded in 1919. Herself and her husband then spent many months at Wartegg recuperating from this traumatic event before moving on.

    In 1924 the Bourbon family sold the castle and it changed hands numerous times followed by a period of relative dereliction until 1994 when it was bought by Christoph and Angelika Mijnssen and converted into the hotel we see today.

    REVIEWS:

    “Everything is great. Beautiful setting, great park, walking distance to the lake, nice food. Wonderful for small kids as they have an amazing playroom!…”

    “Fantastic place, real castle in beautiful part with 5 mins walk to the lake. The restaurant serves delicious food. Idea to use separate wi-fi units for each room is perfect, it’s our first experience with such Wi-Fi solution and my respect to the owner regarding this. Terrace in the garden with deck-chairs is very nice. All in all, everything is perfectly arranged at the hotel and it’s a very beautiful historical place to stay….”

    The Dolder Grand, Zurich

    72.92 km

    Address: Kurhausstrasse 65
    Zürich
    Zurich
    8032
    Switzerland
    Most Famous Guests: Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev.  The very exclusive Dolder Grand, long regarded as one of Europe’s best hotels, sits on hill overlooking Zurich, Switzerland, a city in which it is very much an iconic building. It first served as a Curhaus or health spa in the late 19th century and still does today though with much more modern facilities at its 4,000 meter spa. It has two fairly distinct sections, the old, Belle Époque era castle building with its copper topped turrets and the newer (completed 2008) modernist wings on either side. The addition of newer sections to historical hotels is a tricky business and many have made serious blunders with such adventures, but not the Dolder Grand. The new sections are Norman Foster designed, he of the Gherkin & Wembley Stadium in London, and Hearst Tower in New York amongst others, and are a typically elegant, sweeping blend of steel, stone and glass. Both buildings, though over a century apart in style, accentuate each other in an uncommonly aesthetic way. Two other major things to note about the Dolder Grand are its tremendous two Michelin Star restaurant and its extensive private art collection with over 100 works by READ MORE

    Switzerland
    The spectacular Château Gütsch is a Lucerne, Switzerland, landmark  — a fairytale like, 19th century folly castle, it sits high on a hilltop with stunning views over the city and Lake Lucerne. The setting is peaceful and isolated but the hotel has its own historical funicular which runs from 4.30am until 1.15am and so guests can come and go to the city in a matter of minutes. THE ACCOMMODATION: They have a choice of 31 spacious rooms and suites at Chateau Gutsch with the rooms, both doubles and triples, being pretty much identical except for the view. There is an extra premium for the ‘Lake View’ rooms which have those magnificent views over the city and the lake from their windows, while the others have views of the surrounding forest. Then there are the Junior and Deluxe suites both of which are really quite beautiful and, if budget allows, worth the extra. They have those tremendous views too and are lavishly decorated. The Junior suites cover around 40 m², and the Deluxe 73 m², but what makes the deluxe the real show stealers is their huge terrace, 82 m² of it, even larger than the suite itself.
