Hirschen Schwarzenberg

Enjoy the beauty of Vorarlberg. Enjoy the exquisite ambiance. Enjoy the best wines. Enjoy the magnificent Gasthof Hirschen Schwarzenberg.
Schwarzenberg is a village in the Bregenzerwald, whose centre is actually protected as an historic landmark. Around the church, you will find beautifully preserved examples of alemannic-rural wooden architecture. One of the villages’ most beautiful houses is our very own Gasthof Hirschen. Since 1975 – when it was still a simple village inn – it has been remodelled step-by step into a 4-star hotel accompanied by the adjacent “Wälderhaus”.
 
And since 2006, we are also members of the Historic Hotels of Europe. Our house has a long tradition, extending back to the year it was built, in 1601. By the middle of the 19th century, it was already so famous that the likes of King Max II of Bavaria and poet, Eduard Mörike, counted themselves amongst the guests of the Hirschen. The main house, built in the style of the rural baroque with inter-knitted timberwork, offers a warm and cosy atmosphere in its dining rooms, exquisite cuisine with a clear regional character, a banquet hall and a comfortable fireside room. Taken together, the two houses offer over 55 beds.  Our room selection includes singles, doubles, apartments and a suite.
Our wine cellar offers select European vintages, with a strong emphasis on Austrian labels. The Hirschen also owns the “Alpe Rothenbach”, an area of alpine pastures complete with its own hut. Once guests have hiked out there, they can partake of fresh bread, milk and cheese. In 2007, Schwarzenberg commemorates its probably most famous daughter, Angelika Kauffmann. To mark this commemorative year, Schwarzenberg is hosting an exhibition at the newly remodelled museum, in collaboration with the Provincial Museum, from June until November 7.

Whether you want to enjoy the high moors and scents of hay in summer, or get your fill of skiing and tobogganing in winter, or if you wish to host a conference in our all-wood “Wälderhaus” with its sauna and underground parking garage. Here with us, you will be able to discover re-energizing tranquillity amid a natural setting, cultural stimulation and the ideal ambiance for concentrated work.
