This Grande Dame dates back to 1889, perched in a convenient location just minutes’ walk from the ski lift and the Felsentherme thermal spa. There’s an onsite wellness centre of its own too, with an indoor pool. Hotel Salzburger Hof Bad Gastein also has a games room, a library and two bars (Bellini and Ritz) with live music for leisure, a vaulted wine cellar and six restaurants for onsite dining. The decor blends a rustic style with grander features such as wrought iron balconies and crystal chandeliers. Guest rooms range from small doubles to twins sleeping four.
