Built beside the Salzach River in 1866, this privately owned luxury property is a sister to Vienna’s Hotel Sacher. Like its more famous sibling, it oozes Victorian grandeur from the intricate floor mosaics in the lobby to the impressive staircase leading up to its 111 guest rooms. Those rooms -- having been recently-refurbished -- do not disappoint: picture old-school elegance combined with up-to-date amenities like minibars, flat-screen TVs, docking stations, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel also features four eateries ranging from a gourmet restaurant to a charming cafe, plus a bar, a small health club and sublime salons for special events; however, there’s neither a pool nor full-service spa on-site. Luxury-minded travelers who love the historic vibe but prefer a quainter ambiance should try the Hotel Goldener Hirsch.
