Salzburg’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of only ten World Heritage Sites in Austria. Here, coziness, culinary delights, and historic charm come together—also at Hotel Amadeus, one of Salzburg’s finest hotels. This baroque townhouse with a historic core enchants visitors with 20 individually designed rooms. Between wooden floors, 500-year-old beam ceilings, and stucco, you can enjoy modern comfort, handpicked furnishings, and loving details.

From Hotel Amadeus, you are in the heart of the “Rome of the North”—in the pedestrian zone of Linzer Gasse, surrounded by Salzburg’s most famous sights: Getreidegasse, the cathedral, Mirabell Gardens, Mozart’s houses, and charming Old Town cafés. The baroque architecture and Mozart’s musical legacy make Salzburg an unforgettable experience.
