Seehotel am Kaiserstrand

Seehotel am Kaiserstrand sits directly on the shore of Lake Constance (Bodensee) at Lochau in Vorarlberg — the Austrian corner where the lake meets the Rhine Valley and the foothills of the Bregenzerwald. The property runs as a year-round lakeside resort with its own dock, walkway to the water and outdoor furniture along the shore, and the city of Bregenz is just across the bay. Wellness is full-service: an indoor pool, a sauna, treatment rooms and a spa with massage menu, plus a restaurant, two bars, two coffee shops and six meeting rooms for events and conferences. The hotel is wheelchair-accessible throughout — restaurant, lounge, public washrooms and path of travel — which is rare on this scale of lakeside hotel. The Kaiserstrand stretch of the Bodensee is one of the lake's most scenic, with the German shore, Lindau and the Bregenzerwald all in view. Lochau is on the Bregenz S-Bahn line, Zurich and Munich airports are both around two hours by car, and the Bregenzer Festspiele (summer opera on the lake stage) is a 10-minute drive.
