Exit through the thick green door of the baroque Hotel Goldener Hirsch, your quietly understated luxurious home a few buildings from Mozart’s birth house, and you will re-enter the bustling old town of Salzburg. The oldest hotel in the Starwood Luxury Collection, the Goldener Hirsch makes you feel as if you are a resident of Salzburg rather than a visitor.
Salzburg, a city for pedestrians, has a one-of-a-kind hotel located right on Getreidegasse 37, the main pedestrian street in the heart of the Old Town. The
Hotel Goldener Hirsch is a much sought-after oasis of serenity, a different kind of understated luxury hotel. As inventor of the elegant cottage style, the historically oldest hotel of the Starwood Luxury Collection offers an authentic Salzburg experience: Linen instead of silk, patchwork instead of Persian rug and soft-wood furniture instead of teak is the predominating and unique décor. The windows are no slaves to air-conditioning: you can open them and breathe the fresh air from the green areas of Salzburg. And you can drink fresh alpine water straight from the tap. The hotel offers cosmopolitan connoisseurs a tour into the past of this town house of thick walls, boasting many carefully preserved elements of the Salzburg Baroque. Here, at the Hotel Goldener Hirsch, your first Salzburg tour should start.
