What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
After a smart refresh, the oldest family-run hotel in Salzburg is also one of the city’s most fashionable.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Mirabell Palace is a short walk away, and the historic Old Town waits just across the river.
The rooms
Rooms have pale parquet floors and brass fittings, while former stable suites open directly onto private garden terraces.
The spa
Two saunas built from local timber share the top floor with infrared cabins and a quiet daybed lounge.
Gym and yoga studio
Rogue Fitness weights and rowing equipment sit in the sunlit gym, alongside a dedicated room for self-guided yoga.
Restaurant
Breakfast Room
Fluted mint counters hold an organic morning spread of Austrian regional fare, flanked by sage velvet banquettes.

Vegetarian Levantine sharing plates from furo fill tables set under parasols in the central gravel courtyard.
How it began
Mozart's widow Constanze was among the first guests in 1830, leaving behind an unpaid bill in the hotel ledgers.
