Hotel Blu

Formerly known as the Hotel Salzburgerhof, the Hotel Blü has a colourful, modern look throughout – from the open-plan bar and lounge to the bright bedrooms, with light wood furniture and bold artwork. It's right in the heart of Bad Hofgastein’s pedestrianised centre, a 7-minute walk from the Schlossalm lifts. And if you don’t fancy walking in your ski boots, hop on the free ski bus that stops outside the hotel.

In the afternoons, head to the BLÜ-bar for some laid-back après. Or if you want to relax and unwind, the rooftop HimmelBLÜ wellness area has you covered – warm up in the sauna, stretch out your ski muscles with a spot of yoga or wander through HimmelBLÜ winter garden.

You can fuel up for the day with a hot and cold buffet breakfast. And in the evening, head to the hotel restaurant to enjoy regional delicacies and international classics. Add in top-notch Austrian hospitality, and it’s easy to see why this is one of Bad Hofgastein’s most popular hotels.

Just so you know, some of the photos shown here are artist’s impressions, so the actual look of the hotel may differ slightly.
