Schloss Wartegg
Built in 1557, the Wartegg Castle is something
out of a fairytale. Sitting on the shore of
Lake Constance in eastern Switzerland and
surrounded by beautiful English gardens, this
historic hotel is nothing short of spectacular.
But there’s more to the Wartegg Castle than
just good looks.
The 24 bright and comfortable rooms feature
exquisite details and expert craftsmanship.
The solid wood used in the castle’s
construction comes from the surrounding
region, as does the sandstone. The utilization
of natural and local materials goes beyond
what one may notice at first glance. The
building’s wood is oiled instead of painted,
and natural fabrics like sheep wool are used
instead of synthetics. After a long day of
exploring, nothing will bring you sweeter
dreams than a fantastic night’s sleep on a
Hüsler Nest all natural mattress. And you’ll rest
even better knowing that all detergents and
cleaners used are biodegradable, natural and
eco-friendly.
Astoundingly, 100 percent of the energy used
at Wartegg Castle is green, with much of the
power coming from a hydroelectric plant.
Additionally, guests have access to Velo and
e-bikes during their stay, encouraging those
who want to to be participants in reducing
their own footprint.
Food served at the onsite restaurant is
mindfully prepared using certified organic
products, and the inventive dishes even
feature Demeter quality produce picked fresh
from the castle garden. At Wartegg Castle,
attention is paid to even the slightest of
details, and only the very best is acceptable.
