With just one night in Salzburg, we knew we wanted to make the most of our time in the city and Hotel Schloss Mönchstein couldn’t have been a more perfect fit! This luxury hotel sits atop a hill overlooking the entire city, is within walking distance of the Salzburg fortress and serves delicious, traditional Austrian food.
Here’s everything you need to know about staying at Hotel Schloss Mönchstein!
About Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
Perched atop Mönchsberg hill in the heart of Salzburg, Hotel Schloss Mönchstein looks more like an Austrian castle than a hotel! With luxurious rooms and suites, an award-winning restaurant, and an infinity pool that overlooks all of Salzburg, this splurge-worthy hotel checks all the boxes.
The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful park and is just a 7-minute walk from the Old Town, making it the perfect base for exploring the city.
The Rooms at Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
After seeing the fairytale-like exterior, I was so excited to check out the rooms at Hotel Schloss Mönchstein! Each of the hotel’s 24 rooms is unique with a modern yet classic design complete with antique furniture and luxury amenities (who doesn’t love an in-room coffee machine?!).
And, one of my favorite parts? The private terrace overlooking Salzburg! One of my favorite memories was ordering breakfast to the room on the private patio and soaking in those views!
Food at Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
During our stay, we dined at the hotel’s newest restaurant, The Glass Garden.
The restaurant is set in a stunning glass dome featuring panoramic views of Salzburg complete with a beautiful hand-blown glass sculpture by famed artist Dale Chihuly.
And with such an elegant interior, the delectable menu was no surprise! The chef takes a modern approach to traditional Austrian food along with a few classic comfort dishes (don’t skip the apple strudel!).
Location of Hotel Schloss Mönchstein
Hotel Schloss Mönchstein has the ideal location for anyone looking to explore Salzburg! Along with sweeping city views and a short walk to the Old Town, the hotel also has a close proximity to one of the city’s biggest highlights. The Salzburg Fortress is a 30-minute walk from the hotel — and you won’t want to miss the gorgeous city views along the way. If you have time, I suggest stopping for lunch at Gasthaus Stadtalm Cafe which is about halfway!
