The comeback of wanderlust: After two years of a pandemic, the new "Falstaff Hotel Guide" shows where the next trip should go. The best 1,400 hotels, including 539 best hotels in Austria alone, have been rated in the most important categories and invite you to enjoy wonderful moments of pleasure. Travel lovers will find exciting new hotel openings and international insider tips in the ranking of the best hotels of the year.

The past two years have put the hotel industry to a tough test, which it has mastered with flying colors. The brand new "Falstaff Hotel Guide" from the largest magazine for culinary lifestyle in the German-speaking world is a guide to wonderful travel moments and the way back to the best days of the year. Many innovative hoteliers have used the forced break and made considerable improvements in quality, service and offer. It is precisely these hoteliers that Falstaff would like to call before the curtain. This year, the "Falstaff Hotel Guide" presents an exclusive selection of first-class hotels that have been evaluated in six different categories by a selected jury of experts and the "Falstaff Travel Club" members.

"The hotel industry has been one of the most severely tested industries in the ongoing Covid 19 crisis. This has been a frustrating time for all travel enthusiasts and hoteliers. Now it's time to indulge our wanderlust again and enjoy life. The 'Falstaff Hotel Guide 2022', hot off the press, presents 1,400 of the best hotels, 539 of them in Austria alone, and passionate hosts and hostesses who celebrate top-class hospitality with fresh energy," explains Falstaff editor Wolfgang M. Rosam.

The selected hotels from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and South Tyrol were evaluated with a maximum score of 100 points in the subcategories ambience, rooms, wellness, service, culinary and location. In the brand-new "Falstaff Hotel Guide" these four hotels were ennobled with the highest rating, as they were last year: "Hotel Almhof Schneider" and "Chalet N" in Austria, and "Bürgenstock Resort" and "The Alpina Gstaad" in Switzerland. They are joined by "Forestis" in South Tyrol, also with the highest score of 100 points.

"With the rising temperatures, the desire to travel is also growing again. Many of the industry's innovative masterminds have taken advantage of the pandemic and successfully invested in quality, service and offerings - we think that's great! The new 'Falstaff Hotel Guide' offers gourmets an inspirational guideline of the best hotels and promises wonderful travel moments! Because what this pandemic has taught us: We should enjoy every moment of life," says Falstaff Travel Editor Nadine Tschiderer.
