An alpine lodge on Lake Achensee?

A unique atmosphere unlike anything else out there.

What would life be without coziness? Without an Alpine lodge on Lake Achensee? A world without art, design, music, wine, and wellness is unimaginable to us. And fortunately, at the new Cocoon by Alpenrose, you don’t have to go without any of these things. This new lodge inspires with an Alpine living experience that is second to none.

The Cocoon by Alpenrose is part of the Wellnessresidenz. The smiles of our pampering specialists and the high quality of the cuisine remain consistent across all areas of the Alpenrose. We’re not after Michelin stars, but we do want to put a smile on our guests’ faces and preserve and continue to promote our regional identity. We stand for togetherness, the common good, and warmth within the Alpenrose family.

The combination of regional natural stone, the authentic reuse of reclaimed wood, and the integration of world-renowned Tyrolean glass culture with a unique spatial and lighting design, warm colors, and fine fabrics is one-of-a-kind.

Just like our guests.

Your host, Wolfgang Kostenzer Sr.

Culinary Delights à la Cocoon

In the morning, the aroma of freshly baked bread whets your appetite. Freshness, exceptional quality, and local ingredients are the focus of our Cocoon Restaurant. In the evening, the sight of juicy steaks and fresh fish sizzling on the volcanic stone grill is sure to make your mouth water.

At the Cocoon Culinary Workshop, you can experience firsthand how traditional Austrian dishes fuse with modern cuisine. And this goes on all day long: from the varied breakfast buffet to Alpine tapas and small snacks in between, right through to the warm appetizer and sumptuous dessert buffets that complement the main courses served at your table in the evening.

Choose your #favorite spot in one of our four original antique dining rooms or, in the summer, on our beautiful sun terrace, and embark on a culinary journey of discovery!
