.. be fancy
Friday morning..
I take a brief look at the clock on my office wall – just a few more hours of work before I can start the long weekend!
My first well-deserved holiday for a long time. That's why, yesterday, I was so excited and full of anticipation that I already packed my suitcase.
THE ARRIVAL ALONG THE PEARLY, VIRIDIAN WATERS OF LAKE WOLFGANG
is a real sight for sore eyes.
Oops.. got caught up in conversation, didn't pay attention to the satnav and ended up on a detour through the picturesque village of St. Wolfgang. My partner in the passenger seat can't get enough of it.. a stylish boutique selling traditional Austrian garments on the one side, an inviting café with a patio on the other. But we don't have enough time for that now, because I can't wait to see our Hotel Cortisen.
I already spot the new façade from a distance.. I stop the car in front of a spacious entrance area with a large glass front. I'm really excited to find out what the inside looks like! I found it difficult to make up my mind when booking, because all of the rooms seemed to look different. In the end, we chose a new Premium Double Room on the third floor, with a south-facing balcony and a heavenly lake view.
As we walk through the hallway, I already notice the many colourful pictures – and with its own individual design, our room is a far cry from mainstream hotel rooms. On our balcony, I can stretch out on a comfortable seat and browse through a booklet that I picked up at reception, containing lots of information about the hotel.

Even during rain and thunder, we would have enough entertainment to keep us busy – such as watching films the retro way. I've already discovered the DVD player in our room, and I am now reading that the library has a selection of several hundred DVDs for rent – excellent! My partner will probably choose one of the many novels, illustrated books or magazines instead, which are also available to browse free-of-charge.. there's something for every taste!
EVENING SUN
Terrace
We spend the evening enjoying the wonderful selection of local delicacies out on the sunny terrace.
Even though this is a warm night, we end our day in the cosy lounge area by the hotel bar. Here I also love the successful mixture of old and new styles, and I am sure that I will take some of these ideas home with me for our own four walls.
