The house

It was built between 1863 and 1866 as the Österreichischer Hof and has been called Hotel Sacher Salzburg since 2000; it is the city's only grand historic hotel and it is family-run. It is on the right bank of the Salzach, opposite the old town with the fortress straight ahead: from the rooms with a view you have the postcard in your window. The Marko Feingold footbridge, the one with the padlocks, is at the door, and on the other side the Getreidegasse begins; just below, the Salzach boat departs.

Rooms and services

There are 110 rooms and suites, all different, decorated by the co-owner Alexandra Winkler: deluxe with or without a view, junior suites, family suites and the presidential suite. There is free wifi throughout the hotel, a gym (Health Club), 24-hour concierge and several restaurants: the Zirbelzimmer, the Sacher Grill, the Café Sacher and the bar. It has no pool. Entrance is step-free, with lifts and wheelchair-adapted rooms.
