Steigenberger Hotel & Spa Krems: greetings from the front desk

Krems lies where the Danube enters the Wachau — one of the oldest towns in Austria, the gateway to one of the most beautiful wine landscapes in Europe. Above the old town, embedded in gently rising vineyards, lies the Steigenberger Hotel & Spa Krems: a four-star-superior house with a wide view over the Danube valley and the historic town.

A spa over three levels. The wellness area stretches over 3,000 m² and three floors: an indoor and an outdoor pool — the latter with a sky bar and a panoramic view —, three saunas, a brine steam bath and rest zones with a fireplace. The treatment offering is broad; the view over the vineyards and the Danube accompanies every stay in the spa.

Wine wellness at a World Heritage site. With 173 rooms and suites in a light, contemporary style the house is a comfortable base for the Wachau: wine estates, Heurige, Göttweig Abbey and the Kunstmeile Krems lie on the doorstep, Melk Abbey and Dürnstein upstream. Wine, culture and spa combine here into a relaxed pleasure wellness — and Vienna is reachable in around an hour.
