Overview

Velden am Wörthersee is a resort town with a long history. The goldenrod castle, Schloss Velden, has been standing on the Austrian Riviera since 1603. The old castle was well maintained, but it has also been modernized. It is now the Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden, a hotel as up-to-date as any you'll find.

The old castle still has 39 guest rooms, decorated in a semi-traditional, mixed style. However, the antique furnishings have been updated to match the period details. A low-slung, modernist addition wraps around the courtyard, framing the views of the old castle and the distant lake.

Moreover, a bedside panel controls everything in the room, including the TVs, lighting, and automated drapes. The bathrooms are also as large and modern as possible.

The resort also has a large Spa and Wellness facility. The 37,000-square-foot Acquapura Lake Spa does not disappoint. You will also find massages, saunas, and other amenities.
