Welcome to the Nöstlinger family business
Modern hospitality and contemporary service have been a long tradition at Seehotel and Restaurant Schwan. For generations, genuine Austrian hospitality has been lived and passed on here — in what is arguably the most beautiful square in the city. Since 1883, we, the Nöstlinger family, have been running this house in the sixth generation with passion, dedication and a sense for something special.
Our aim is to offer our guests a temporary home — with comfort, warmth and a touch of history in every detail. Welcome to the lake.
