The countdown to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is officially on, as are last-minute escapes over the extended bank holiday weekend. Austria is close enough to spontaneously go – and yet has a lot to offer to ensure a fun-packed stay. Maybe you – and your audience – are still looking into a getaway? Or you are already planning ahead for a relaxing few days after a weekend full of celebrations? We certainly wouldn't blame you for that! Last but not least, let's not forget that the summer season is coming closer every day. So, it's also a great time to map out some new adventures for the months to come.
Let us introduce you to the Austria Hotel Collection 2022, a handpicked selection of 15 hotels in Austria, all of them unique in style but always ensuring the highest level of comfort and service. Can we tempt you?!
Alpine Stays: Tirol's biggest hotel spa and the world's first floating jacuzzi
Summer goes hand in hand with nature experiences in Austria and the following hotels are all set in breath-taking surroundings, perfect to get active in the outdoors – or just relax and rewind.
Heading to Tirol? Book yourself into Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol, a five-star Alpine hideaway close to Innsbruck, featuring a stunning panorama pool and award-winning Tirolean cuisine. Ötztal's resort Aqua Dome – Tirol Therme Längenfeld boasts Tirol's biggest spa and wellness area and picture-perfect mountain views, included right from the outdoor pool. Das Central – Alpine. Luxury. Life in Sölden is your perfect match if you love wine (over 30,000 bottles in their cellar!) and relaxing treatments in a Venice-inspired spa.
Das Edelweiss in Salzburg's Grossarltal Alps makes a great base for outdoor fans and families, with a brand-new spa for adults and an indoor slide park for kids. Carinthia anyone? Family-run Hotel Trattlerhof in Bad Kleinkirchheim offers fun experiences from horse-drawn carriages to test drives with the Tesla X100D through the Nockberge national park. And then, there's Romantik Hotel im Weissen Rössl in Upper Austria, the perfect couple escape at Lake Wolfgangsee, featuring the world's first floating jacuzzi!

City Breaks: Traditional and urban-chic hotels in Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck
A total of seven Austria Hotel Collection locations in Vienna means that holiday makers in the capital are spoilt for choice.
In Vienna, one finds everything from Hotel Bristol's resplendent art-deco rooms overlooking the opera house to the achingly cool modern-living suites with spas and salons in Hotel Sans Souci. To stay among some of the city's most iconic landmarks such as the St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace and the Spanish Riding School, head to the 1st district for legendary Hotel Sacher or the hip Hotel Hollmann Beletage (free traditional meatloaf every day!). If you're on the hunt for hipster coffee shops, cool cafes and edgy art exhibitions, Hotel Altstadt in the 7th District and Hotel The Harmonie in the 9th are ideal. For those seeking art and gorgeous palace gardens, check out the Andaz Vienna across from the Belvedere Gallery.
Heading to Salzburg? Family-run Hotel Sacher boasts magnificent views over the old town, celebrating its 25th anniversary as a UNESCO world heritage this year – and let's not forget about the cake! In Innsbruck, quirky NALA Individuell Hotel doesn't only stun with its unique and colourful interiors but also with its dedication to sustainability.
