Hotel Blaue Gans Art Hotel
At 660 years and counting, the Hotel Blaue Gans is the oldest inn in
old town Salzburg. Situated in a medieval building on the main pedestrian
thoroughfare not far from the birth house of Salzburg’s favorite
son Mozart (see Mozart’s
Salzburg), the Blaue Gans was
converted from a fortress-like structure into a contemporary art hotel.
Combining minimalist design with medieval
architectural elements was no simple task, but we think you’ll
find they’ve
pulled it off with flair. blauegans.at
