Imperial-style holidays

Hotel Villa Seilern in Bad Ischl – the historic hotel in Austria for imperial holidays in the Salzkammergut

Already in the 19th Century, Emperor Franz Joseph I and his Sisi spent their summers in Bad Ischl. Inspired by the imperial couple, you too can indulge in imperial pampering in the stylish and exclusive ambience of Villa Seilern – the historic hotel in Bad Ischl. The flair of the imperial era is still noticeable in the classicist villa built in 1881.

Today, the Villa Seilern Vital Resort hotel is the centrepiece of a unique world of peace and well-being.

Our historic hotel is wonderfully located in the centre of the dreamy imperial city of Bad Ischl – the heart of the Salzkammergut.

Attentive service, loving hospitality and the majestic ambience make our hotel guests feel as if they were living in the times of the emperor.

The imperial history of Villa Seilern​

Emperor Franz Joseph I and his Sisi already appreciated the beauty of Bad Ischl. Therefore, they spent their summers in this idyllic town. It was “in style” to own a summer residence in Bad Ischl. Therefore, on 11 June 1881, Elisabeth, Countess of Seilern and Aspang, decided to have a villa built in Bad Ischl.

Soon, the classicist Villa Seilern became a social and cultural venue – a location where many high-ranking personalities indulged in the good life.

Our awards:

We are proud of our many awards. Especially those that are awarded by the satisfaction of our guests. It encourages us to continuously further develop to provide our guests with many more imperial holiday experiences.
