At its prominent location in the heart of Salzburg’s old town, this luxury hotel designed in the elegant local Landhaus style exudes the romantic charm of centuries gone by, enhanced by modern luxury amenities. The 600-year-old hotel is a nationally protected historic building and has been inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage list. The hotel’s personal atmosphere is the epitome of traditional Salzburg hospitality. Its welcoming motto runs: “Every guest is a friend of the house.” Illustrious, international and local guests alike keep coming back for that welcoming family feeling, which the attentive and highly motivated staff under the experienced care and direction of General Manager Wolfgang Putz create day in, day out.

Despite the sweeping renovations, this icon of traditional hospitality remains true to its local roots while offering surprising sprinkles of the new and the modern. Special emphasis is placed on traditional craftsmanship to preserve the hotel’s unique character. The comfortable accommodations, 64 rooms, and 6 suites, are spread over five categories: Classic and Deluxe Rooms as well as Junior, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom Suites. Each and every one of them is furnished with authentic centuries-old country furniture professionally restored in painstaking detail during the renovations. These renovations also saw every room remodeled with new hardwood floors – adorned with typical Salzburg rag rugs according to long-standing custom. The traditional fabrics are hand-woven by the family-run business Jordis just like they were in the days of Countess von Walderdorff. The priceless antique furnishings are complemented by modern-day comforts. From high-speed internet access to artfully integrated flat-screen TVs – the hotel knows how to meet the high expectations of its exacting international clientele. The bathrooms are furnished with porcelain products by Villeroy & Boch with washbasins and bathtubs set in marble fitted with gleaming vintage bronze-colored fixtures.
