Schlosshotel Mailberg  

Perched above the wine village of Mailberg in Lower Austria's Weinviertel, this castle hotel sits amid vineyards about a one-hour drive from Vienna. It's close to the towns of Retz, Poysdorf and Hollabrunn and makes a great base for exploring the region. Pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Housed in a renovated castle, rooms are individually styled with selected furniture, noble antiques and modern touches. Expect flat-screen TVs, DVD players and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. Twenty-one guestrooms offer a luxurious, intimate vibe and terrace or garden views over the vineyards.

The hotel features a restaurant, a terrace and garden and a picnic area where you can soak up vineyard views. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, on-site parking, concierge service and a chapel are available. Shuttle options, limo/town-car and airport/train pick-up are offered for a surcharge.

Conference and meeting rooms (about 25 m² / 269 sq ft) and a business center make the castle suitable for small events and board meetings. Complimentary wireless internet and presentation facilities are provided.

On-site restaurant serves local cuisine—think regional Weinviertel flavors—plus a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8:00 to 10:30. Limited room service is available if you prefer to dine in your room.
