artHotel Blaue Gans is a Hotel in Altstadt, set in a 14th-century building at the foot of Hohensalzburg Fortress. From here, Salzburg feels immediate, with Getreidegasse, the Festival Hall, and Mozart’s Birthplace all close at hand. The setting gives the stay a distinctly historic frame, while more than 100 original works of art and contemporary design shape the atmosphere inside. The air-conditioned rooms are designed for an easy stay, with free WiFi, satellite TV, a mini-bar, a safe, and a bathroom with a hairdryer. Some spaces also open onto a balcony or terrace, giving you a quiet place to pause after time out in the city. It is a practical base for travelers who want comfort, Internet access, and a calm room to return to after a full day in Salzburg. Downstairs, the restaurant focuses on traditional Austrian cuisine and Salzburg specialties, while the bar offers a relaxed place to linger over wine and music. The property also includes parking, an EV charge station, transportation and shuttle services, and business facilities, along with wellness options and laundry service where available. Step outside and you are already in the rhythm of Altstadt, with shopping, performance spaces, and landmark architecture all within the surrounding streets. Back at artHotel Blaue Gans, the mix of medieval walls, art-filled interiors, and central access creates a stay that feels rooted in the city and easy to remember.

Perfect location. Close to shops. Staff were extremely helpful.
Negative:
The day we arrived I was hoping for valet, travelling with 4 adults and a 2 year old. Anyway we got a park at the front and had to take the car to the carpark. It was no big deal. Everything else out weight it. I can’t fault this property. I love the unique design it has. Keep up the great work!
Summary: Could not fault it.

Lovely boutique hotel, well located, nicely decorated,
spacious and cosy room, excellent bed, excellent amenities
Negative:
Although we lived in France 2 years, I will never like having toilet and shower separated.
Also, they have a concept of MaxiBar, instead of minibar, where coffee and tea is located in one place for all the guests. Honestly I prefer a kettle and coffee inside the room
Summary: Excellent hotel but space to improve
