[1] ROOFTOP TERRACE HOTELSTEIN SALZBURG It’s no secret that Salzburg, a World Cultural Heritage city, boasts one of the world’s most spectacular architectural ensembles. Lesser known is how to catch the perfect glimpse of it all. Enter the elegant Hotel Stein—and then make your way up. Your view at the rooftop stein terrace café.bar.lounge. offers the most stunning panorama in town, 365 days a year from noon to midnight. Indeed, the place has become a hot spot, where Hollywood A-listers rub elbows (Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were spotted recently) and foodies dig into the much-loved small plates. And of course anyone who spends time there instantly becomes an architecture afi cionado, with Salzburg’s Baroque history backdropping the modern, sophisticated design of the hotel itself. The Hotel Stein’s 56 stylish rooms merge centuries of tradition with the most innovative in contemporary building. Plan your visit at www.hotelstein.at. [3] THE PALAIS COBURG’S STUNNING WINE ARCHIVE One of Vienna’s best-kept wine secrets is the Palais Coburg. In the heart of Vienna, this grand palace has been restored to its original splendor and now houses a most luxurious all-suite hotel, a gourmet restaurant and a collection of rare wines that seeks international comparison. On your tour of the six stunningly designed wine cellars, discover more than 60,000 bottles of valuable wine spanning four centuries! Numerous rare wines from which only a few bottles exist, or perhaps only found in Palais Coburg, rest here. Among the treasures is a bottle of what is probably the world’s oldest and still drinkable bottle of wine and a collection of 100 vintages of Château d’Yquem. The New World cellar resembles the bulk of a wooden ship while the Champagne cellar is housed in the deepest coldest part of the Palace where the ice blocks were once stored. Conclude your tour with an exclusive tasting of seven exquisite Austrian wines with the sommelier of the house. Santé! To plan your visit go to www.palais-coburg.at. [4] FINE ART AND DINING AT GUT PURBACH Viennese gourmets love to escape to the village of Purbach in Burgenland, nestled at the foot of the Leitha Mountains just 40 miles south of Vienna. Chef Max Stiegl enjoys a cult following at Gut Purbach for his authentic cuisine based on the game from the mountain forests, the vegetables, fruits and herbs of the surrounding fi elds, and fi sh from Lake Neusiedl. The restaurant is located at the center of the historic old town in a quadrangular courtyard of buildings which once comprised the region’s fi rst tavern, an offi ce and the district jail. The buildings have been tastefully restored by the art-collecting attorney and vintner, Dr. Hans Bichler. Purbach village lies at the heart of the wine appellation which is famed for its “Leithaberg rot”, a highly mineral red wine made from the spicy Blaufränkisch grape. The wild forest berry aroma, juicy acid and silky tannins of this wine make it perfect to pair with Max’s famous roasted roebuck with Pannonian peppers and polenta.

[2] DINE AMID THE ESTERHÁZY PALACE ADVERTISEMENT The Esterházy Palace in the capital of the Burgenland region, Eisenstadt, just an hour south of Vienna, dates back to the 13th century—but it was 1622 when the Esterházy family took possession and began their abiding support of the arts there. Today, the Baroque palace, among the most beautiful in Austria, is open to visitors. Behold a rare window onto the resplendent life once lived at the court of the Princes Esterházy. The most famous room, the Haydn Hall, was named for the family court composer. The palace regularly hosts outstanding exhibitions and classical music performances. No less inspired are the culinary masterpieces, long a tradition here; admire the building’s façade from your table at the Henrici Restaurant while dining on their legendary Esterházy Roast Beef and Esterházy Cream Cake. From the grand patio, with a wine from the cellars and a view of the main palace building, life becomes downright princely. Plan your visit at kultur.esterhazy.at/en. [5] A FISHERMAN’S TALE AT SCHLOSS FUSCHL It’s dawn on Lake Fuschl and the mist is slowly lifting. Gerhard, the chief fi sherman at the storybook resort Schloss Fuschl, is already out on the water, bringing in the whitefi sh, char, trout, carp, tench and rudd that will go straight to the resort’s kitchen, for the chef to smoke over dry beechwood. So begins the day at this fairy tale-like castle hotel situated within The Sound of Music area. Dating back to 1450 and just a short drive from Salzburg, the place is world-renowned for its spellbinding natural beauty as well as its fi shery. Schloss Fuschl, nestled in the charming Salzburg Lake District, is nothing less than a sanctuary. Green hills roll down to the crystal-clear lake, and guests can forget their troubles on a serene terrace. On a gorgeous sunny day, a lakeside fi sherman’s snack rounds out this delicate combination of nature, luxury and culinary magic. Plan your visit at www.luxurycollection. com/schlossfuschl.
