Spring-awaking at Lake Wolfgangsee

Time to awake and enjoy..

Where better to do this than in your wellness hotel for adults at the shores of the lake Wolfgangsee?
We look forward to welcoming you back to Cortisen from April 20th.

As soon as the sun has gained strenght, you can start an active day on the mountain or at the bike.
The lake needs some more degrees for swimming, just dive into our 25m indoor panoramic pool
and enjoy the view of the crystal-clear lake and the last snow fields on the mountains all around.

Dare to be different.. be Cortisen..

we like being creative, colourful & far away from the mainstream – bog standard just isn't for us – and this attitude is reflected throughout our hotel! [space to breathe], because all of our 25 double rooms & our 9 Design Suites & Loft Suites are different. One special hideaway for your well-earned summer holiday on the lake is our exclusive Boat Shed Suite on the upper deck of our boathouse, immediately on the shores of Lake Wolfgang.

 

This is what awaits you..

After a longer renovation phase, our building has now put on a new face, which we have been proudly presenting to our guests since May 2021. Numerous businesses are responsible for Cortisen's makeover, and many new features have been added. Your host family has implemented a few great ideas to more than meet all your demands.

We like it creative, colourful & far from the mainstream - [zero]-[eight]-[fifteen] was yesterday. This is also reflected throughout the hotel! None of our 25 double rooms & none of our 9 design & loft suites are the same. A very special hideaway for your well-deserved summer holiday by the lake is our exclusive Boat Shed Suite on the upper deck of our boathouse directly on the shores of Lake Wolfgangsee.

Sanctuary for worn-out parents.. As a pioneer in our area, we were definitely a step ahead of our time. Sorry, no kids – a big outrage in 2005; today, a successful alternative to family holidays. We love children, but stressed parents also deserve some well-earned time out. Your Hotel Cortisen, the hotel for adults – we welcome near-teens from the age of 16 years upwards.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!
Be cortisen!

Dare to be different..

Different in the sense of unique. Because that's how we want to be! We don't want to be your luxury hotel in Austria, but your feel-good oasis for your well-deserved holiday in Upper Austria! Your Hotel Cortisen combines four (or so you think) different holiday characters.

be madly athletic

... the defined athlete, who likes to stretch all four of himself and treat himself to an infusion in the sauna and a massage after his sports training.

be entirely relaxed

... the laid-back lazybones who drags their inner lazybones to the gym every now and then and then and maybe does a few lengths in the pool afterwards.

be uniquely fancy

... the modern hipster who is always up to date, but likes to be inspired by the individual and unusual design of the rooms and the entire hotel.

be highly exclusive

... the discerning connoisseur who enjoys a delicious meal and a glass of wine or two on the sun terrace.

.. no matter how we spin it

.. there is only one thing that appeals to them all.. Your Hotel Cortisen am See. We look forward to meeting you .. Your Ballner Family & Team

What is a boutique hotel?

A boutique hotel is generally a small, individually managed hotel that differs from larger hotel chains due to its unique and often luxurious furnishings and personal atmosphere. Boutique hotels are often characterized by themed designs - each room or area of the hotel can have its own flair.

The service in boutique hotels is more personal and tailored to the individual needs of guests. Above all, the local character of the area is brought into focus by integrating local art and culture into the design and offerings. Great importance is attached to high-quality furnishings and amenities. The overall atmosphere in boutique hotels is more intimate and cozy, which contributes to a special stay experience.
