Baroque Banished In Favour Of Contemporary Style

A smart, modern, and stylish hotel with spacious rooms and suites is a big surprise in the atmospheric centre of Salzburg, one of Europe's most beautiful cities, and the surprises continue once inside the establishment known as Blaue Gans, the oldest inn in the city with a pedigree dating back more than 600 years.  With recently renovated rooms bringing a new level of comfort to a historic building in a superconvenient location, travellers looking for something different are in their element at Blaue Gans, where unusual is the usual.  Named for the humorous wall painting of a blue goose that graces the wall of its centuries-old dining room, Blaue Gans is an art hotel located right on Getreidegasse, the main pedestrian thoroughfare of Salzburg's centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where quaint shops mingle with chic boutiques as well as one of the city's most popular attractions, the yellow home that is Mozart's birthplace.  Given Salzburg's compact size, all the city's main attractions are within walking distance of Blaue Gans except for the famous Hellbrunn Palace out of town (but still easy to reach by bus with a Salzburg Card).  The principal venues of the annual Salzburg Festival are located just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, as is, in the other direction, the lift for the Museum Of Contemporary Art atop Mönchsberg, from which all of Salzburg is at one's feet.

Rooms and suites at Blaue Gans are cleverly designed and, as is typical in hotels located in historic buildings, come in a variety of sizes and configurations.  In keeping with its avant-garde nature, the hotel has interactive screens throughout the property to provide information about the city to guests.  The small library has many books of interest related to Salzburg, and the entire hotel serves as an art gallery, with many provocative works adorning the walls throughout.  A spacious suite extending over two floors is a favourite among celebrities coming to town for the Salzburg Festival; its large size and privacy make it a highly coveted piece of real estate during the Austrian summer.
