About Arthotel Blaue Gans ****

What if a hotel gave you more than a roof over your head? Arthotel Blaue Gans (Blue Goose), a stylish mix of modern design, contemporary art, and Austrian tradition, inspires unforgettable experiences. Located close to Mozart's birthplace and opposite the Festival Halls, it also houses Salzburg's oldest inn which opened in 1350. The restaurant sports vaulted ceilings and dark wooden beams and offers Austrian cuisine with a Mediterranean touch. Head chef Max Sampl combines top-notch products from the Alps with the lightness of the south, which makes his cuisine quite Salzburg-like. Without Chi-Chi, but with convincing simplicity and craftsmanship.

The Mediterranean flair can also be felt in the Brasserie and guest garden. More precisely: The hotel developed quite the friendship with Campari. The glow of its colour reminds of the centuries-old trade routes between Salzburg and Venice. Enjoy cool drinks and jazzy music in a relaxed atmosphere - the perfect way to end a day!
