Royal Suite WALD

Your refuge above the rooftops of Hallstatt: the Royal Private Suite WALD

The Royal Private Suite WALD at Hallstatt Hideaway is a special place of tranquillity and grounding. Pure Authenticity!

Here you can feel the hand of the imperial house. Not only the view from four windows, in two directions across the lake, from historically handcrafted box windows, but also, and to a very special extent, the historic and unique listed ceiling, designed by a blacksmith and created by a sculptor. A sculptor also took on this work during the restoration.

The 40 m² Wald private suite offers a majestic experience. Everything here makes it clear that Empress Maria Theresa positioned her forest master as the representative of imperial power in the middle of Hallstatt.

Today, this room impresses not only with its historical reference, but also with the intimate experience of the seasons as you gaze out from your bed over the lake and up to the mountains that frame the lake in a special way.
The bed is handcrafted from 500-year-old wood and is raised so high that when you wake up, all you see is the splendour of nature.

Enjoy private spaciousness, authenticity, peace and quiet, less than 500 metres from the internationally crowded market square.

With this private suite in a monumental Baroque building, the Hallstatt Hideaway offers you an authentic feeling of imperial grandeur, surrounded by the small cottages of the workers.

During the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, today’s Royal Private Suite Wald was the most prestigious and largest room in the house of Praunspergler, the imperial hunting and forestry master.

Room Size & Layout

Majestic generosity characterises this private suite, once used as the reception room of Empress Maria Theresa’s hunting and forestry master. The walls, the unique ceiling and every single detail of the furnishings exude authenticity. At the same time, clarity is taken into account, characterised by the absence of ‘decorated cosiness’ through design with contemporary expression and understatement.

Reward yourself on your journey into our historical origins with a few moments of imperial elation combined with majestic understatement. What Bad Ischl had to offer in terms of splendour was allowed to give way to authentic experiences here.
