Best Hotels in Salzburg

Lodgers were hard-pressed to find anything wrong with their stays at the Hotel Schloss Monchstein. Travelers go on and on about the beautiful grounds, tremendous service and fantastic food, to name just a few of the hotel's standout attributes. The property is located on the scenic Mönchsberg Hill, at the foot of the Salzach River in central Salzburg. The hotel was actually once a castle, so its royal service and elegant interiors shouldn't come as a surprise to guests. Rooms feature rich white, gold and red decor, as well as modern comforts, including large flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access. Across the sprawling grounds, guests will find amenities galore, including the expansive Mönchstein spa, which features a fitness center and outdoor infinity-edge pool that directly overlooks the Salzburg skyline. What's more, the property is home to a unique private dining and event venue called the Gothic Chamber, which is outfitted with antique furniture and offers impressive city views. Meanwhile, Schloss Mönchstein serves its gourmet fare inside the elegant dining room or outside on the seasonal terrace. And when you're ready to get out and explore, you only need to allot a few minutes for walking to get to the city's center.

Located in Salzburg's Old Town, the Hotel Goldener Hirsch has welcomed guests since opening its doors in 1407. The Restaurant s'Herzl has also been serving traditional Austrian cuisine – which recent patrons said was "delicious" – since the hotel opened. Historical touches can be found throughout the property, including in the 70 guest rooms and suites: All of the accommodations are decorated with pink, blue, yellow and red color palettes as well as Salzburg-style furniture and artwork. Rooms also feature robes and slippers, soundproofed glass windows, flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access. When you get hungry, try out the property's other eatery, the Restaurant Goldener Hirsch. Tourists and locals alike appreciate this restaurant for its traditional Austrian food. And although there is no on-site fitness center, there are nearby jogging trails that are ideal for working up a sweat while seeing the sights. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Travelers who appreciate historical charm will enjoy staying at the Hotel Sacher Salzburg. Built in 1866, the hotel's restaurants and accommodations underwent an extensive renovation in 1990 – and for rooms facing the Salzburg State Theatre, again in 2016 – to match the building's 19th-century design. All of the property's rooms and suites feature original paintings, antiques and crystal chandeliers, plus iPod docking stations, Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs. Some travelers bemoaned their standard accommodations' small sizes (noting that they expected more than 215 to 323 square feet given the high room rates); however, more space is available in suites. Outside your accommodations, you'll find three restaurants, a cafe, a bar and a health club with fitness equipment, a sauna and a steam bath. But according to former guests, the standouts at this property are its prime location in central Salzburg and the homemade chocolates sold at the on-site confectionary store. What's more, the hotel is part of The Leading Hotels of the World, meaning Leaders Club members have access to perks here.
