Urban Vibe, Rural Setting At Austria’s Loisium Wine Resort

HotelChatter's Eric Rosen recently spent some time in Austria and Germany. All this week, he'll be rounding up his hotel observations. Any tips, suggestions, questions? Let us know.

Though it has been open since 2003, the futuristic Loisium Wine and Spa Resort in Austria’s bucolic Kamptal Valley has maintained an air of quiet sophistication even while educating visitors on Austria’s burgeoning wine scene.

That is partly thanks to its out-of-the-way location in the small town of Langenlois, about an hour northwest of Vienna. However, the Loisium is at the nexus of several of Austria’s wine appellations—the Wachau, Kremstal, Kamptal and Weinviertel—so it makes for an ideal base from which to explore many of Austria’s most famous wineries.

Not only that, but the welcoming staff, the gourmet restaurant, the Aveda spa, and the on-site “Wine Cellar World” vinotheque make the minimalist-mod resort an all-in-one stop.

The key to “doing” Europe properly, is to start your day with a sensible breakfast at the hotel.

For a long time we resisted taking breakfast at the table d'hôte, rejoicing in the five euros we were saving by foregoing bad coffee, stale rolls and a few greasy cold cuts, while saving our ducats for a leisurely lunch instead. But as we’ve grown older, we’ve come to see the logic of shelling out a little extra cash for a hearty breakfast so that we don’t get cranky scouring the continent for a decent cup of coffee, or fainting from hypoglycemia and cutting out of a museum early for lunch.

No need for such a strategy while staying at Vienna’s Rathaus Wein and Design Hotel, though.
