Schloss Mondsee, a 4-star castle hotel in Mondsee, Upper Austria, hosts seminars, conferences, congresses and weddings with up to 400 guests. The hotel lists 15 event rooms, 65 bedrooms and in-house restaurants, and it sits five minutes from the A1 motorway.
Seminars and company events
The hotel runs a dedicated seminar and congress offer. Its 15 event rooms cover everything from a small workshop to a full congress. The largest is the Festsaal, which holds up to 400 people and suits conferences, trade shows and large events. The Seminarraum Drachenwand takes up to 85 people for workshops and smaller conferences. The state rooms (Prunkräume) suit groups of up to 50.
The columned halls are used for exhibitions, receptions, banquets and weddings. They can be reached by car, which makes them usable for vehicle presentations and furniture fairs.
Standard equipment includes a projector with screen or an XXL screen, flipchart, whiteboard, pin board, presentation case and microphones. The Festsaal has fixed audience and stage lighting, and every other room has daylight. Fast internet and an Avonic HD PTZ camera allow streaming, so virtual and hybrid events are possible. A Yamaha speaker system, two extra Yamaha microphones, a podium and a lectern are available. An event team coordinates the day, and a technical manager can be added.
Weddings and receptions
The castle houses its own registry office, so civil ceremonies take place in the building. Couples can also marry in the Basilica of St. Michael next to the castle or in the Hilfberg Church. The hotel offers a reception, event rooms for the celebration and two wedding suites, the Schloss Suite Mondsee and the Fürstin Wrede Suite.
Accommodation
Schloss Mondsee has 65 rooms and suites for guests. Some rooms and suites are only available through direct booking. The Monasterium Spa, renovated in 2023, is included in the room rate. It has a 9 m by 3 m vaulted bath, a Finnish sauna, a bio sauna, an infrared cabin, a silence room for adults and three fitness machines.
Catering
Catering is arranged individually with the hotel. Culinaro serves regional and Alpe-Adria cuisine. AURA, with the adjoining Castello Bar and Lounge, offers Mediterranean, Japanese and Alpine influences. Benediktus, formerly Wirtshaus Schlossbräu, serves modern Austrian dishes on the market square.
History and setting
The castle stands in the center of Mondsee in the Salzkammergut. Parts of the building date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, and a wall of that age can be seen in the spa. Lake Mondsee is a five-minute walk away. For team events the hotel suggests boat trips on the lake, an outdoor puzzle tour of the town, a guided castle tour, a climbing course, a golf trial with a putting contest and hikes of different levels.
Getting there
The hotel is five minutes from the A1 motorway and about 30 minutes by car from Salzburg. The official site also mentions a drive of around 20 minutes to Salzburg.
