The history of this historic hotel on Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz is inseparably linked with the Salzburg Festival. Maestro Karajan was a frequent guest. The comfortable rooms and suites are furnished with traditional Austrian antiques while centuries old walls and vaults, several feet thick, lend a feeling of shelter and security. What could be more fitting than sitting in the small garden in front of the restaurant s’Herzl and enjoying a delicate saddle of venison with Serviettenknödel (napkin dumplings) while watching the arrival of Festival guests in all their finery?
