Beat You To It
Italian influence in Salzburg began in the 16th century, when Venetian architect Vincenzo Scamozzi was comissioned with the planning of a new city layout. In cooperation with his successor Santino Solari, he created the look for which the city of Mozart today is world-famous. The connection of Salzburg and Venice is emphasized with an innovative concept.
Located in one of Salzburg’s top locations, the hotel is dominated by the colour blue: blue as the lagoon and the heaven. Thanks to this colour scheme an unique atmosphere and style have been created that convey an incomparable lifestyle experience. In 56 exclusive rooms, that show exceptional attention to detail, new standards have been set. These can also be found at the hotel’s rooftop location on the 7th floor - with an outstanding view of the city. BEST ROOM

Located on the hotel‘s 2nd floor, the Honeymoon Suite offers a breathtaking view of the Fortress Hohensalzburg as well as the Salzach. The suite itself is absolutely made to fall in love with, but its eye-catcher definitely is the historically protected stucco ceiling, which is one-of-a-kind with its beauty and opulence.

HOTEL STEIN
Hotel Stein also sets the scene for an even more profound experience during the Salzburg Festival.
SALZBURG MEETS VENICE
Guests from across the globe with an affinity for art are sure to be found at the Stein boutique hotel, situated right on the Salzach river in the old town. The hotel underwent an extensive makeover in 2018 and has since followed the concept of “Salzburg meets Venice”, evidence of which includes the chandeliers and other pieces by Venetian glass manufacturers Barovier & Toso, a company that is also owned by the hotel proprietor. Then there are the fabrics by Rubelli, which certainly wouldn’t look out of place in a Venetian palace. Even from outside, directly in front of the hotel, you will be mesmerised by a work of art by Austrian artist Brigitte Kowanz, who in 2016 represented Austria at the Venice Biennale and also showcased her works there in 2017.
Her pieces lead you into the interior and create a stylistic connection between the inside and the outside. The colour blue dominates the décor, representing both the colour of the sky and that of the lagoon in Venice. When you stroll back from Cathedral Square, be it to the Goldgasse or the Stein, you can be sure that you are in the perfect place to recharge your batteries after an intoxicating performance and to let the experience of the epic productions last a little longer.
