"A magnificent boutique hotel in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town, Hotel Goldener Hirsch boasts charming historical rooms, some of the city’s best dining and a six hundred-year legacy to boot."

A tribute to authentic Austrian hospitality since its opening in 1407 – yes, you read that correctly – Hotel Goldener Hirsch is an enchanting getaway that’s equal parts original country house and luxurious boutique hotel. Set as it is in the heart of Salzburg’s Old Town, the hotel's location is every bit as captivating as its legacy: a stay here will put you just steps away from Mozart’s birthplace, Festival Hall and the largest castle complex in Europe.

With over 600 years of experience under its belt, it’s no surprise that the hotel has perfected its aesthetic. Seventy unique rooms are brilliantly executed blends of timeless beauty and modern comfort. Meticulous renovations over the centuries have preserved the original Old World elegance which is complemented by beautifully curated antiques, Fleckerlteppich rugs, traditional fabrics and handmade furniture, the handiwork of local artisans. Bathrooms are generously sized and resplendent with marble, porcelain and vintage fixtures,...   Show more

With over 600 years of experience under its belt, it’s no surprise that the hotel has perfected its aesthetic. Seventy unique rooms are brilliantly executed blends of timeless beauty and modern comfort. Meticulous renovations over the centuries have preserved the original Old World elegance which is complemented by beautifully curated antiques, Fleckerlteppich rugs, traditional fabrics and handmade furniture, the handiwork of local artisans. Bathrooms are generously sized and resplendent with marble, porcelain and vintage fixtures, while lovely views from the rooms overlook Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz or Getreidegasse. The windows are a perfect example of the hotel’s thoughtful old-meets-new design: they’re soundproofed, ensuring tranquillity within the rooms. The overall effect is rustic chic and utterly alluring: staying here truly feels like stepping into the past, and you’re likely to never have stayed in a place quite like this before. But then again, how many hotels can claim six centuries of existence?

Two of Salzburg’s most celebrated restaurants are set within the hotel's walls: Restaurant Goldener Hirsch and Restaurant Herzl. The first is a fine-dining establishment that serves both traditional and contemporary iterations of Austrian cuisine alongside a superb wine cellar with an impressive list of vintages. Restaurant Herzl is a more casual (but no less fabulous) option which was actually a goldsmith shop in 1760. Today, it’s a beloved folkloristic affair with quintessential Austrian ambience, rustic allure and authentic Salzburg fare; order the Nürnberger Bratwürstl while you’re there – it’s the restaurant’s signature dish.

Salzburg is a magnificent place to visit at any time of year, but if you can plan your holiday during the famed Salzburg Festival, you’ll have a particularly unforgettable experience. One of the most important music festivals in the world, this summer event is a celebration of classical music and – given the hotel’s history and address – you could hardly ask for a more perfect place to stay while the music plays on.
