Holiday in the Wachau
Hotel Richard LöwenherzRichard the Lionheart is said to have been the first true guest of note in Dürnstein. What this illustrious English King enjoyed eight centuries ago - albeit, in his case, somewhat involuntarily - awaits you in an almost unchanged state: namely, one of the most beautiful, pristine river landscapes in Europe, tucked into the green hills of the Waldviertel ("forest district") and the Dunkelsteinerwald ("dark stone forest").

Guest Reviews
"[...] We were on a cycling trip, and we really appreciated the large pool (unheated) and the big lawn at the side of the hotel. [...] The bed was good, and the bathroom well appointed and modern. The hotel restaurant was very good, with standard Austrian/German style menu. It was a great mix of old and new for us, and it was the perfect spot to chill out after 9 days on a big cycling trip. We would stay here again"
