Tucked away in a side street: A downtown hotel in Salzburg
Tucked away in a side street: A downtown hotel in Salzburg

Accommodation: A 400-year-old inn
The hotel in the heart of Salzburg offers true charm and warmth. It is tucked away in a narrow side street off the Getreidegasse, Salzburg's famous shopping street. The hotel is named for an elephant brought over the Brenner Pass in 1552 as a gift to the Emperor Maximilian II. The elephant caused such excitement that several inns along the way were renamed Elefant. The house is over 700 years old and has been documented as an inn for the past 400 years. The lobby of the hotel is appealing, with a small reception counter, a cosy group of chairs, a splendid antique desk and a harlequin-patterned marble floor accented by an Oriental carpet. There is a beautiful lounge upstairs where guests can feel at home. Because the building is so old the bedrooms naturally differ in size and shape, but all are attractively decorated in the traditional style.

View of the Großglockner from the mountain farmhouse
View of the Großglockner from the mountain farmhouse

Accommodation: A former mountain farmhouse
Today the 400-year-old farmhouse above Heiligenblut is a small chalet hotel that can accommodate up to 35 guests. With its heavy wooden ceiling beams in the bedrooms and open fireplace in the rustic restaurant, the property has lost none of its historic flair. The restaurant specializes in traditional Austrian cuisine. A Turkish steam bath and a fitness room are also available. Although the inn with views of the Großglockner is especially popular among winter sports enthusiasts, the calmer summer months are ideal for relaxing or hiking on the numerous marked paths in the Großglockner National Park. Those who prefer to travel by car can take a scenic drive to the Großglockner Glacier.

South Tyrolean Gothic: A castle above Eppan

Accommodation: A castle near Eppan
The late-medieval castle is situated on a hill above the town of Eppan between Bolzano and Lake Kaltern (Lago di Caldaro). Built in 1470 and extended in 1528, the property has been owned by the Count Khuen family since 1621. The shape of the windows, doors and vaulted ceilings is typical of the Lake Gothic style in South Tyrol. The view from the castle extends across vineyards and a neighbouring Renaissance castle to the peaks of the Dolomites. Breakfast is served on the terrace or in the Knights' Hall. A swimming pool is available. Countess Khuen is a gracious and friendly host who attaches great importance to the comfort of her guests.

Accommodation: A 500-year-old hotel near the Golden Roof
The hotel in downtown Innsbruck was already 200 years old when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stayed there in 1769. The inn with the striking Renaissance façade is just a few doors down from Innsbruck's most famous landmark, the Golden Roof. The cosy rooms are decorated in the simple Tyrolean style with wood furnishings. Breakfast is served in the Tyroler Stube, an age-old dining room that has been carefully preserved and is worth seeing in its own right. All famous sites in the old town are just a stroll away.
