Hotel Review

The Goldener Hirsch just oozes history, style and class, but it’s not grand. Rustic hand made farmhouse furniture, antlers on the walls, check tablecloths, it could almost be kitsch but it’s done well and with enthusiasm. The Starwood management ensures a professional level of service. The renowned buffet breakfast will set any one up for a full days sightseeing and in the evening the Nurnberger Bratwurstl is the best in town.

Hotel Goldener Hirsch

"With 600 years of hospitality under its belt, the Goldener Hirsch is as much a part of Salzburg's history as Mozart, the cathedral and the castle."

Hotel Goldener Hirsch

"If it wasn’t so authentic, you’d swear a set designer had orchestrated the vaulted ceilings, antique farmers’ furniture, deer and stag heads, and staff in lederhosen and dirndls."
