“This family-owned hotel, with its roots stretching back to 1878, presents a compelling mix of tradition and modernity in Salzburg's heart. Its location near Linzer Gasse offers immediate access to the pedestrian zone and major attractions, while the provision of complimentary round-the-clock drinks is an unexpected perk.
