Austria Hotel Collection: The Best Hotels for SALZBURG and INNSBRUCK City Stays in Style

Arthotel Blaue Gans

Stylish Arthotel Blaue Gans is the place to be when on a city break in Salzburg. Located right in the heart of town across from Festspielhaus (Festive Hall) and close to Mozart's birthplace, it houses Salzburg's oldest inn (dating back to 1350), where guests can enjoy Austrian cuisine with a Mediterranean touch amidst vaulted ceilings and dark wooden beams. Art lovers will be delighted by the more than 120 original works in the building. And then there's Campari: Celebrating the centuries-old trade routes between Salzburg and Venice, it is served all day long at the hotel bars.

Insider tip: Salzburg is ideal to be explored by bike. The hotel provides guests with bikes to head on a city tour or idyllic ride into the countryside and the staff is happy to point out routes and highlights.

Innsbruck has no shortage of accommodation options but trendy NALA Individuell Hotel stands out from the crowd. An enchanting hotel in the 1950s, it has been turned into a modern city escape with colourful rooms and apartments all individually designed in line with their names (from cinema to zen) and stunning mountain views. There's a beautiful rooftop terrace where guests can enjoy a drink after checking out Innsbruck's sights. NALA is dedicated to sustainability, running on 90% green energy, and using ecofriendly cosmetics, mattresses, and pillows, as well as organic and regional ingredients for the breakfast buffet.

Insider tip: No central hotel in Innsbruck is in a quieter neighbourhood. NALA sits in the cosy Wilten district where guests only hear the fountain in the park and birds chirping.
