Schloss Velden, a Capella Hotel

At the most prominent location along the lakeside promenade, just a few steps from the casino, a myth has come out of its long hibernation: the legendary yellow-painted Schloss Velden.

Its noble setting is well-known as a meeting point for in-crowds far beyond Austria's borders. In a unique composition of tradition and modernity, nature and luxury, it has been possible to create a sensitive interplay of contemporary avant-garde and existing architecture at Lake Wörth.

Hotel information

Once built as a representative aristocratic residence in the 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 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 (Wörthersee) in Carinthia – an idyll displaying its magic anew in every season.

Food & beverage

Schloss Velden offers fine gourmet dining as well as the casual atmosphere of the lakeside restaurant to cater to guests' tastes during their stay.
Other favorite gathering spots are the relaxing Beach Club and the sophisticated Schloss Bar with its walk-in wine cellar, adjacent tasting room and Schloss Bräu, which is locally brewed and bottled for Schloss Velden.

Room information

Each guest room and residence, designed by the internationally renowned design company Hotel Interior Design (HID), boasts exceptional views of the gardens, Lake Wörth (Wörthersee) and/or the Alps.

Area information

Just a few hours' drive from Vienna, Milan, Munich and Salzburg, Capella Schloss Velden is a favoured retreat of affluent travellers.

The surrounding Carinthia region is ideal for year-round activities, such as horseback riding, golfing, mountain climbing, hiking and skiing.
