We loved the bright, whimsical, and mildly wacky Hotel Bergland, a family-owned hotel in residential Schallmoos with reasonable rates.
Bergland has 18 clean, individually decorated rooms that make a delightful reinterpretation of classic Austrian style. These have well-coordinated color schemes and promote a sort of postmodern, "decorations-for-decorations'-sake" aesthetic. (The stranger rooms could keep a small child transfixed for hours.) Wall adornments such as a row of wide-brim hats, a creepy old clock, and an empty picture frame are among the standouts.
Some rooms feature English-garden wicker chairs and traditional hand-painted wood furniture. All have huge windows (some floor-to-ceiling!) and giant bathrooms (some with tubs). There's also a tiny solarium on the second floor.
The atmospheric lobby is outfitted in rich dark woods, bookshelves stuffed with books, giant plants, and a bar. Free parking and breakfast—as well as a bizarre backyard "garden" full of pebbles—just make things better. If you're looking for kookiness that titillates but doesn't overwhelm, this is it!
