Hotel Goldgasse occupies a building on the Goldgasse in Salzburg's Altstadt that dates from the 16th century. The interiors make the most of the accumulated layers without restoring them into falseness: original terracotta tiles, arched ceiling vaults, contemporary art set alongside a Murano glass chandelier, a leather egg chair in the corridor beside a vintage trunk. The restaurant — timber-beamed, with blue-grey upholstered bar stools and pendant glass lights — operates as a wine-focused room for both guests and the Altstadt neighbourhood. The location is within three minutes of the Residenzplatz and five of the Festspielhäuser. The hotel is quiet in the way that old buildings tend to be.
