Refugium Lunz
Kirchenplatz 3, Lunz am See, Österreich
23 Zimmer
Kontemporär Klassisch und Ruhig
The Austrian mountaineering village of Lunz am See has the rare distinction of being the coldest place in central Europe. It’s a locale that requires exceptionally cozy lodgings, especially in winter — and Refugium Lunz, a stylish but understated boutique hotel right on the church square, fits the bill. As the name suggests, the hotel is a refuge from the elements, but also an escape from life’s hectic pace, its calm interiors inviting guests to rest, read, and revel in leisurely breakfasts.
Refugium Lunz occupies an old house that dates back five centuries. The owners, a pair of Vienna-based architects who happened to be walking past on a winter night in 2019, fell in love with the place, and the rest is history. Many of the house’s original features remain, including exposed stone walls, vaulted archways, wood-beamed ceilings, and large fireplaces. But the owners’ professional savoir faire shows through everywhere, the building’s historical charm infused with a modern, minimalist touch and an emphasis on fine craftsmanship — so much so that the hotel won a German Design Award in 2024.
Rooms and suites are simple but luxurious, with pale wood flooring, crisp white bedding, and large mirrors reflecting ample natural light. All are unique: one has a private sauna, one has a yoga deck, and another has a private balcony overlooking the river. Just as inviting are the common spaces, from the heated outdoor pool and garden to the warmly lit Salonküche, the open-all-day kitchen where guests are welcome to sip a glass of wine while waiting for freshly baked bread to emerge from the oven. Bicycles and hiking equipment are provided, as is a great selection of books; depending on the season, it’s a wonderful place to explore or do nothing at all.
