Best Luxury Hotels in Altstadt

This luxurious hotel can be found in the heart of Old Town and has been offering a warm welcome to distinguished guests for more than 600 years. The Hotel Goldener Hirsh has been created in the style of an Austrian countryside manor and boasts white walls with exposed brick with the signature gold stag prominent both on the exterior and throughout the interior of the building. Each of the seventy guestrooms boasts a different style and character and many feature antique furnishings that help to set a truly elegant tone. The establishment also plays host to two of Salzburg’s most prominent eateries, which are popular among both local people and visitors to the city. The s’Herzl is more than 250 years old and features a cosy atmosphere. Alternatively, lovers of fine dining can indulge in a meal at the Goldener Hirsch, where dishes tend to be light and made of fresh local produce such as venison served with asparagus, wild mushrooms and garlic gnocchi.

This elegant hotel is set right on the bank of the Salzach River and originally opened its doors in 1866. The public areas are filled with impressive antiques, while the guestrooms located on the upper floors feature stunning views of the Old Town. There is a large sauna and steam room for guests to unwind in, while the gym is fully loaded and features modern exercise equipment. Indulging in a cocktail or two on the river terrace is an experience that guests will not want to miss, while the onsite Zirbelzimmer is the perfect place to sample traditional Austrian cuisine such as baked pike perch and roast guinea fowl.
