Overview

Formerly known as the Hotel Salzburgerhof, Hotel Blü offers a fresh, contemporary take on Alpine hospitality in the heart of Bad Hofgastein. Its bold, colourful design runs throughout the property, from the open-plan bar and lounge to the bright, modern bedrooms, which feature light wood furnishings and striking artwork.

Perfectly located in the pedestrianised centre of town, the hotel is just a seven-minute walk from the Schlossalm lifts. For added convenience, a free ski bus stops directly outside, making access to the slopes quick and easy even in ski boots.

Afternoons at Hotel Blü are all about relaxation and atmosphere. The BLÜ-bar provides a laid-back après-ski setting, while the rooftop HimmelBLÜ wellness area offers a peaceful escape with panoramic views. Here, guests can unwind in the sauna, stretch out with a yoga session or enjoy the tranquil HimmelBLÜ winter garden after a day on the mountain.

Each morning begins with a generous hot and cold buffet breakfast, and in the evening the hotel restaurant serves a mix of regional specialities and international favourites. Combined with warm Austrian hospitality, Hotel Blü stands out as one of the most popular and stylish stays in Bad Hofgastein.

About Bad Hofgastein

The Gasteinertal area offers around 198km of mainly intermediate-friendly skiing, with a mix of tree-lined trails and wide, sunny bowls. A funicular from town provides easy access to the mountains, where highlights include the long 10.5km red run from the Hohe Scharte, one of the longest in the Alps.

The valley towns, including Bad Hofgastein, have a relaxed, traditional atmosphere with cobbled centres, painted façades, and a more low-key après-ski scene focused on cafés and quiet bars. Accommodation is largely made up of well-regarded half-board hotels, often with strong wellness facilities.

Bad Hofgastein is especially known for its thermal spa culture, with the Alpentherme Gastein offering saunas, pools, and relaxation spaces that define the après-ski experience. For those wanting more activity off the slopes, snowshoeing trails and ice climbing on frozen waterfalls provide alternative winter adventures.
