- Qué tiene: A castle on the Danube · Pool and spa · Open March to October

A five-star hotel in Dürnstein castle, above the Danube, with a terrace restaurant open to everyone, pools, a spa and bike hire. Closed in winter.

The house
A 17th-century castle on the bank of the Danube, at the foot of Dürnstein's old town, converted into a five-star hotel. The rooms and suites occupy the historic halls; many face the river. It has outdoor and indoor pools, a spa, a library, a bar and a terrace restaurant over the water that is open to non-residents. It also hires out bikes.
Season
It is a seasonal hotel: in 2027 it opens on 26 March and closes on 21 October. In winter only the rooms in the gate building (Tor) and the Villa Schönthal are in use, with breakfast in the castle shop. The pool, spa and bike hire close from late October to late March.
Getting there and parking
In Dürnstein street parking is prohibited: guests leave their car inside the castle grounds, where there are electric chargers. By train you reach Dürnstein-Oberloiben station on the Wachau line, seasonal, or Krems, 7 km away. The landing stage for the DDSG boats is a few steps away.
The terrace
The restaurant is open at midday and in the evening with no day off during the season, and there is usually a table on the same day if you book in the morning. It is a good midday meal even if you are sleeping elsewhere.
