What the legendary English king did not enjoy quite voluntarily almoust exactly 8 centuries ago, awaits you almost entirely unchanged: one of the most beautiful untouched river basins of Europe, nesting among the wooded hills of the Waldviertel and the Dunkelsteiner Wald. Here in the Wachau, where the mild sunny climate is benficial not only for the wine, the Thiery family offers preferential treatment to their guests. The family runs this establishment since 1884, now in the third generation, a place in the excellent ambience of a former convent of Clarissinnas right on the Danube.</p> Medieval conventual walls, local art objects and its wonderful location give the premises their unique character. Most agreeable calm and relaxation can be found wherever you go: be it the refectory with its open fireplace, the romantic terraced restaurant overlooking the Danube or the spacious sleepy conventual garden with its swimming-pool. Moreover the exquisite cuisine, rich in vension and fish specialities, as well as the noble wine ripened in the former vineyard of the Convent make your visit also a culinary experience. <p>-----</p> <p><strong>THE ROOMS</strong></p> <p>ROOM RATES:<br> Price per room</p> <p>Single EUR 91,-<br> Double EUR 139,-/149,-/164,-<br> Juniorsuite EUR 219,-<br> Suite "Margareta" EUR 328,-</p> <p>All prices include breakfast<br> and all taxes.<br> Halfboard extra charge EUR 26,-/person</p> <p>All rooms with cable TV, radio and telephone</p> <p>Our hotel guests have the privilege<br> to pass the pedestrian area to the hotel</p> <p>By cash payment:<br> starting from a 7 day stay on guests will receive a 5% discount<br> from a 14 day stay on a 10% discount</p> <p>---</p> <p><b>THE CONVENT GARDEN</b></p> <p>The convent of the clarissinas was founded 1289 by Leuthold I. of Kuenring. The convent church was finished 1330. The existing church gives an impression of the former importance of the convent, but it was dissolved by 1571 and became part of the monastery of the Augustines. In 1715 the former church became a storehouse for grain.</p> The first inn in the former buildings of the convent existed already in the 19th century. The Thiery family is in charge of the building since 1884, always taking care to preserve the valueable old buildings,  to equip the wide rooms with beautiful things and to care for the kitchen as well as for the wine-cellar. So it became a house which combines modern hospitality and historic ambiance. A romantic annotation of Emil Strecker, a famous artist who was a frequent guest like many other artists of this time, lead to the name "Gasthof zum Richard Löwenherz". Since that time the house is obliged to this royal name - as ROMANTIK HOTEL RICHARD LÖWENHERZ, where every guest is a king. <p>---</p> <p><b>ACCESS:</b></p> <p>From Vienna (about 80 km):<br> • via A1 (conjunction St. Pölten) and S33 (Exit Krems - first exit after bridge)<br> • via A 22 and B3</p> <p>From Salzburg, Linz:<br> via A1 (Exit Melk), bridge over Danube and B3</p> <p>---</p> <p><strong>ROMANTIK HOTEL RICHARD LÖWENHERZ<br> </strong> A-3601 DÜRNSTEIN 8<br> PHONE: ++43/2711/222<br> FAX: ++43/2711/222-18<br> e-Mail: <a href="mailto:loewenherz@netway.at">loewenherz@netway.at</a><br> <a href="/">http://www.loewenherz.cc</a> or <a href="http://www.richardloewenherz.at/">http://www.richardloewenherz.at</a></p> </body>
