Overview

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.

About Bad Hofgastein

Largest connected skiing area in this area. Downhill runs with over 1000m difference in altitude promise varied piste fun – perfectly connected with modern lifts and cable cars. Ideal for skiing pleasure! We would recommend the Judau lift in the skiing centre in the Angertal Valley for beginners. Especially popular: the Hohe Scharte Nord (north) (marked on the piste plan as downhill run number H 1) – and with a length of 8 km and a difference in altitude of 1,440m it is one of the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps.

Hofgastein is a spa town as well, but is prettier with more traditional buildings and a traffic-free centre. It is mainly a hotel resort and most of the better eateries are found in the 50 or so hotels. For non-skiers there are lots of activities including the baths, but as with Bad Gastein some may not warm to the subdued ambience. It is also important to check the location of your accommodation, as that found in the centre has quicker access to the gondola and the skiing. There isn't too much to choose between the 2 resorts, but Hofgastein might just shade it, as it's prettier and closer to the slopes.
