Schloss Velden

Once an Alpine hinterland, prized among Europe's elite as a sumptuous summer retreat, the famed Schloss Velden has undergone a marvelous metamorphosis. Completed in 1607 as a private chateau, the property later became one of Europe's grandest hotels, serving uninterrupted style for a century until 1991. Today, Capella's Schloss Velden is a luxury resort reborn, offering exceptional service and a year-round haven for the discerning. Known worldwide for its famous goldenrod yellow hue, Schloss Velden sits regally at the tip of the majestic Lake Woerth in Carinthia.

Known for its distinctive yellow exterior and traditional architecture, the original chateau is comprised of 39 guestrooms and a contemporary addition, which houses 66 rooms. Each guest room and residence boasts exceptional views of gardens, Lake Woerth, and the Alps. Guests enjoy contemporary amenities including a central computer system that controls all of the room’s functions from the bedside, rainforest showerheads, LCD televisions, wireless Internet access, iPod docking stations, refreshment centers, and marble bathrooms.

Schloss Velden offers fine dining options as well as casual offerings to cater to guests’ tastes during their stay. Two private dining rooms, Schlossstern and Seespitz, serve cuisine with a decidedly local flavor and a variety of menu items are produced exclusively for Schloss Velden. Among the culinary highlights are local Carinthian cheeses and jams, fresh game and a "catch of the day" delivered by local fisherman. Other favorite gathering spots are the relaxing Beach Club and the sophisticated Schloss Bar with its walk-in wine cellar and Schloss Bräu, which is locally brewed and bottled for Schloss Velden.

Schloss Velden's crowning jewel is the signature Auriga Spa, which incorporates lunar cycles, organic ingredients, and Austrian traditions into its offerings. The full-service spa and fitness facilities feature extensive health, beauty, and wellness indulgences that exceed the expectations of even the most seasoned spa connoisseur.
