Sustainable By Nature

The perfect recharge: atmosphere, soul food and ayurveda

It is well known that body and soul go hand in hand, and we come across this kind of holistic approach throughout the Alpin Juwel hotel. Alongside the architecture and the Ayurveda focus in the wellness area, the food concept of the certified organic hotel is further evidence of the harmony between people and nature, with emphasis on the exclusive use of organic produce from the surrounding area, total avoidance of artificial flavours and refined sugar, and ingenious, simple preparation. The result is soul food of the highest order and we treat our bodies to the best that nature has to offer, no matter whether we spend the whole day on the extensive network of pistes and carving it up in the Skicircus snow park – it’s right on the doorstep, by the way – or prefer to take it easy with a winter hike and an hour of yoga at the hotel. The Alpin Juwel offers a laidback atmosphere that makes us feel totally relaxed. And it certainly has us wanting to come back again if it means we can harmonise body and soul away from our hectic day-to-day lives.

100 YEARS OF THE SALZBURG FESTIVAL

HOTEL GOLDGASSE

This charming boutique hotel in Salzburg’s old town is worth a visit at any time of year. But during the Salzburg Festival, the Hotel Goldgasse sets the scene for an even more profound experience.

PAYING HOMAGE TO THE ARTS

The production of Jedermann was staged in the famous Cathedral Square in Salzburg for the first time in 1920. The play about the death of a rich man was directed by Max Reinhardt who, along with the play’s author Hugo von Hofmannsthal, was a co-founder of the Salzburg Festival. The character of Jedermann was played by the most famous actor of the time in the German-speaking world, Alexander Moissi, while Jedermann’s lover Buhlschaft was played by Johanna Terwin, Moissi’s wife in real life. Over the last 100 years, there have only been a handful of occasions when Jedermann has not been performed at the Salzburg Festival. From the very beginning, the event has included operatic productions and concerts, and this programme has expanded every year since. The main highlight is definitely still the traditional rendering of Jedermann, which was based on several medieval mystery plays. To see it enacted on the steps in front of the cathedral, or in the festival hall during bad weather, never fails to be an unforgettable experience.

Much older than the Salzburg Festival is a stone building in a charming little alleyway called Goldgasse. It is 700 years old and now home to one of the city’s most stunning and individual hotels: the Goldgasse, a boutique hotel with just 16 rooms that have all been designed around the theme of the Salzburg Festival. They pay homage to this enormous production, this event that turns the entire city into a stage – a notion that even director Max Reinholdt wished to express from the outset. The rooms in the Goldgasse are a stage in themselves for modern features and contemporary design objects. And just so you know – this small-butperfect retreat doesn’t just provide cultural inspiration, it also offers exceptional cuisine.
