Romantik Hotel Post ReviewRich in Carinthian history, this hotel was built in 1500, and some original elements, like the rich vaulted ceilings, have been incorporated into the hotel. The facade is a Teutonic fantasy of carved stone detailing, Ionic columns, and intricately patterned wrought iron. Between 1548 and 1629, this was the town palace of one of Carinthia's richest families. During that period, the house hosted an emperor, a king, an archduke, and later an empress (Maria Theresia). Later still, the nephew of Napoleon I dropped in and signed a registration slip that still belongs to the hotel. On the premises is a baronial fireplace, an arcaded courtyard shielded from the sun by an ancient collection of chestnut trees, and a host of elegantly furnished rooms. Rooms come in various sizes and have marvelously comfortable beds. The establishment pays special attention to its traditional cuisine, much of which is heavily laced with cheese, butter, and cream. These include tafelspitz; schnitzels (sometimes stuffed with cheese and ham); and recipes with local venison, including soups, pâtés, and stews. The hotel also offers health-conscious cuisine. In July and August, piano music and candlelit dinners are offered in the garden courtyard. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
