Room types

The accommodation offer at Hotel Schönbrunn largely consists of apartments with an independent kitchen, designed for those seeking self-catering flexibility during their stay: each unit has a hob, fridge, dishwasher and crockery, as well as a desk, flat-screen TV, safe and private bathroom with hairdryer. Most solutions have a balcony or terrace with views of the surrounding mountains, a distinctive feature found in almost all available room types.

Sizes vary considerably, from the 23 m² of the most compact double room up to the 85 m² of the two-bedroom apartment with terrace, the largest in the property. Those travelling in groups or with children can choose among several solutions with two bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, while couples will find the one-bedroom apartments convenient. A single room type, the Double Room with Balcony, stands out for the absence of a kitchen and for a layout closer to a classic hotel room.
