Stein

Located just over the river from the old town, close to the Linzer Gasse, the Stein has a contemporary design, in contrast to the many traditional hotels of the city. The historic building dates from 1399 and sits right on the banks of the Salzach.

The owner’s Barovier & Toso, a Murano glass manufacturer, have given the hotel a distinctive splash of colour in every shade of blue. The impressive glass installation cascading down the original Ceconi staircase draws guests’ attention to the wonderful rooftop terrace where breakfast is served à la carte at the Seven Senses restaurant with stunning views towards the formidable Hohensalzburg fortress. The 56 modern rooms, half of which overlook the river, are simplistic in design but feature chandeliers and large prints of Venice.
