Leichenberg Life Medicine is a wellness retreat that marries hospitality and medicine, bringing together service industry standards, old-school European spa culture, modern diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. The center is something between traditional five-star luxury hotel and high-tech medical treatment.

Guests can come in the resort for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation or just a simple relaxation. Situated in Bad Gleichenberg, Austria, life medicine benefits from a mild local climate, idyllic landscape and two mineral-rich water sources, thermal springs.

The resort offers all the traditional wellness services which are thermal baths, sauna and a wide range of face and body treatments. It also offers an impressive array of diagnostic services, including lab testing, allergy profiles, metabolic panels and ultrasounds, to name a few.

The philosophy of the hotel strikes a healthy balance between culinary indulgence and responsible consumption. Meals at the main restaurant, spa bistro and lounge cafe are very low in calories but high in taste, rich in ingredients from local farmers and producers.

The resort’s focus is nature, as reflected in the extensive use of larch wood, glass and natural stone as well as the pervasive browns, reds and greens that blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape.

The 107 rooms, three suites and various conference areas are similarly outfitted, full of light woods and soft hints of natural colours. The resort was built around an existing park, thus incorporating several centuries-old trees and an ancient brook. Local activities include hiking, golfing, stargazing and visits to nearby castles and imperial villas.
