Six Centuries of Heritage

An Authentic Salzburg Country-House Legend Since 1407

First recorded as an inn in 1407, Hotel Goldener Hirsch has welcomed royalty, philosophers, and luminaries for over six hundred years. Perfectly located on the famous cobblestones of Getreidegasse in Salzburg's UNESCO-designated historic center, the hotel sits directly opposite Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz and adjacent to the Festival Hall (Festspielhaus), making it the premier address for Salzburg Festival attendees.

Under the stewardship of The Luxury Collection, the hotel underwent a meticulous restoration that preserved its cherished rustic aristocratic charm while integrating modern luxuries. The iconic leaping golden stag motif graces accessories, tableware, and wrought-iron crests throughout the property.

Inside, the 70 rooms and suites radiate authentic Salzburg cosiness, showcasing hand-printed fabrics in cornflower blue and rose by local textile house Jordis, hand-woven traditional Fleckerlteppich rag rugs, genuine antique shoemaker's benches, and sumptuous bathrooms clad in Austrian red marble.
