Vienna's Best Hotels: Two Distinct Personalities

Keys and Stars: Tyrol's Towering Mountains
There are many reasons to visit Tyrol, western Austria's famous mountain region, and the hotels, with a distinct culinary expertise, are by no means an afterthought.
Seven Key hotels in Tyrol boast at least one on-site MICHELIN restaurant. Among the standouts is Hotel Alpenresort Schwarz, home to Two-Star restaurant 141 by Joachim Jaud — a chic, modern spot for seasonal cuisine and a fine selection of organic and rare wines.
Beyond the Mountains
Austria gets plenty of international recognition for its winter attractions, but regions like Burgenland, Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria make for excellent year-round destinations. In this patchwork of hilly landscapes and forests, Inspectors unearthed exclusive gems like the storybook Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, which, after two years of renovation, earned Three MICHELIN Keys.
Other notable finds include Scheiblhofer THE RESORT in Andau (Burgenland), Impulshotel FREIGOLD in Freistadt (Upper Austria), Montestyria in Styria, and Two-Key hotels Schloss Seefels and Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Velden in Carinthia on Wörthersee.
