It's pretty chill, the NILS am See on the banks of Lake Neusiedl in the heart of Burgenland. The largely energy-independent boutique hotel was only recently reopened in early 2023. Thanks to its modern design which prominently uses light wooden beams, it makes quite an impression from the outside. The inside is no slouch either, combining soft boho charm with lush green plants in the lobby to create a perfect vacation atmosphere. When you check in here, you'll soon experience the many advantages of its unique location directly on Austria's largest lake.

Whether in the spacious, multi-level lobby or in the sauna area: Guests will always find a soothing place to relax and banish everyday life for a bit. The coziest place is in front of the large, roaring fireplace in the NILS' living room.

The hotel's outdoor areas, on the other hand, exude Mediterranean charm. A long outdoor pool was built directly out front; as it's heated, it can be used almost all year round. On warm autumn days, you can swim lazy laps here, or relax on one of the loungers with an exciting book. If you want more, you can always venture to nearby Lake Neusiedl and enjoy some maritime flair during a walk or a boat trip.

Bistro vs. Sun deck

Numerous wicker lamp shades of different heights and shapes hang from the ceiling of the NILS Bistro, creating an inviting atmosphere; it gives off the feel of your own living room while you satisfy your appetite. The menu includes tasty snacks such as hummus with naan bread, ratatouille and burrata. The culinary offerings are rounded off by Austrian specialties such as traditional Wiener Schnitzel. On the Sun deck, you can end you day on a high note with a glass of Aperol or an espresso martini while gazing at the stars. 

During the fall, guests may look forward to afternoon tea every other Saturday and brunch every other Sunday. In addition, NILS am See offers its own packages around seasonal highlights such as the Martiniloben traditional wine tasting or the grape harvest.
