Heartfelt hospitality.

You can feel it from the first moment: Hotel Hochschober is a family-run business with tradition.
The  Leeb and Klein family has been running the hotel for three generations.

Values like ethics, solidarity, sustainability, social justice, participation, and transparency shape the lakeside hotel in Austria.

The Management Team

Running a hotel is a complex challenge – and at the same time a labour of love. Owners and Managing Directors Karin Leeb and Martin Klein master this task together with experienced tourism professional Manuel Hallegger, Executive Assistant to the Management.
As a strong trio, they take turns serving as “Manager on Duty” – acting as hosts and key contacts for both guests and staff. They stand in for one another, share responsibilities, and ensure that alongside day-to-day operations, all organisational and strategic tasks are handled with excellence.
Their goal: to be present, attentive, and full of energy for our guests at all times – fresh and fit, day after day.

MORE SPACE TO UNWIND

Over the coming years, significant changes will take place on the neighboring property directly on Lake Turracher. The old building of the Alpengasthof Siegel will be removed. The newly available space will be used to expand our existing sauna and wellness facilities. Initial concept designs have been completed, and we are now moving into the detailed planning phase. We will, of course, keep you updated.

Breathe deep.

Enjoy the fresh air and watch the misty clouds pass over the water.

Take your time.

For living and resting. Celebrate your siesta and simply live from day to day.

Listen and feel.

The warm water caresses the body in the Felsen-Bad and the fresh air invigorates.

Travel.

To China. And enjoy the silence and beautiful view from the Teehaus in the Chinaturm with a cup of tea.

Warm up.

From head to toe, warming your heart. The large heart stone in the Hammam provides pleasant warmth. Headrests are available for comfortable rest.

Vacation at the lakeside hotel!
The family summer program offers plenty of variety for children and teenagers.
Marvel.

As the experts behind the bar mix, shake, and garnish pretty cocktails. The best place? On the bench directly at the bar.

Feel the Orient.

Two or four hands release tensions. Creams and oils nourish the skin and provide for a wonderful sense of well-being. For example, with Ayurvedic massages at our Kristall-Spa.

Drink tea.

Mix a cup of fruity powdered tea, nibble on candied fruits, put your feet up, and feel like being in the Orient: in the Sultan's chamber of our lakeside hotel in Austria.

Linger.

Stay longer at the dinner table to take a closer look at the colours, shapes, and patterns of our fine dining experience. Or at the beautifully lit Chinaturm.

Snuggle up.

In the woollen blanket, on a lounger next to the fireplace in the library Wortreich, and watch the snowflakes dance.

Julia Sekt

The sparkling delight, available in white and rosé, made from grapes from the Hochschober vineyard in Donnerskirchen in the Burgenland. With Norbert and Birgit Szigeti from the A-Nobis winery for sparkling wines, the Leeb and Klein family has found the perfect partners for the sparkling of the grapes. Currently, almost 500 bottles of Julia Sekt are maturing in Grünsee. The special SEElection can be tasted in 2029 when Hotel Hochschober celebrates its 100th birthday.

Gin Daniels

The fine-spicy gin, is named after Daniel, the son of Karin Leeb and Martin Klein.

Karma

KARMA, named after KARin Leeb and MArtin Klein, is the Hochschober red wine blend. The wine carries the name as a sign of gratitude for the good years and as a symbol for the continued collaboration, which, like a good wine, should mature further.
