Character has its season

Through all the seasons at the castle hotels and manor houses

Where do you wish to begin?

Spring in historic gardens. Summer evenings in the castle grounds. Autumnal cuisine. Winter retreats. Our castle hotels take on a new look with every season – yet remain true to themselves.

Spring at Schlosshotels

Experience

When gardens come to life, cities breathe again and the first rays of sunshine warm old walls, perhaps the most carefree time of the year begins. A time for discoveries, for city breaks, for hideaways in the countryside.

Summer at Schlosshotels

Experience

Stay outside a bit longer. Leave the doors open. Make the evenings last a little longer, until the light gradually softens.

Autumn at Schlosshotels

Experience

When the streets grow quieter, the lights take on a warmer glow and the natural world all around is bathed in gold. When the landscapes grow stiller and the scents become more intense.

Winter at Schlosshotels

Experience

Snow redraws the contours of old walls, the crisp air sharpens the eyesight, and silence descends upon parks and landscapes. Winter reveals historic houses in what is arguably their most serene and striking form.
