Luxury & Hospitality at the Highest Level
High above Salzburg, surrounded by the tranquility of Mönchsberg and yet only a few minutes from the famous Old Town, the 5-star superior Hotel Schloss Mönchstein unites luxury, history, and hospitality in perfect harmony. This unique location offers you the perfect balance of discreet seclusion and immediate proximity to the city – accompanied by a panoramic view that is second to none.

The history of the house dates back to 1350, when Schloss Mönchstein was first mentioned in historical records. Over the centuries, the historic estate on Mönchsberg has become a 5-star superior hotel that combines the aura of old castle walls with the comfort of the present day. You can reach your refuge by car or in style with the Mönchsberg elevator, while Salzburg’s Old Town with its Festival Halls and Cathedral is just a few minutes away.
Salzburg itself lies at your feet: The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Salzburg Festival and Mozart’s birthplace are quickly reached. At Schloss Mönchstein, you combine the retreat into a private castle park with proximity to everything that makes Salzburg special.
