Green Meetings embedded in the vineyards of the Danube
About an hour outside of Vienna, in a beautiful location overlooking the Danube River and surrounded by idyllic vineyards, lies the Steigenberger Hotel & Spa. The hotel offers an elegant and modern interior that invites you to relax. The extensive wellness and fitness facilities, some of which are outdoors with a view of the gentle greenery of the vineyards, are a real highlight. A special asset of the hotel is its meeting service: with the Green Meeting concept, ecological impacts of meetings are minimised and compensated. The city centre of Krems is about two kilometres away and the UNESCO World Heritage Trail is directly behind the hotel and is a dream for nature and outdoor fans. The Wachau region, which includes 20 castles, palaces and ruins, invites guests to explore extensively.
