Six Reasons why families are happy at Hotel zum Hirschen

Traveling as a family can sometimes be quite challenging and an adventure. But at Hotel zum Hirschen in Salzburg, it turns into a relaxed, happy time full of little moments of joy. No wonder families are always in a good mood here.

1. Because here, family meets family

As a family-run hotel, we know exactly what it takes to make both young and old feel at home. We think about what makes traveling easier—and what makes it more beautiful. From the warm welcome at reception to our hotel dog Lotti, who instantly befriends little guests, you can feel it right away: this is a place for genuine togetherness.

2. Because our apartments offer room to breathe

Our spacious apartments with separate sleeping and living areas (some with kitchenette and balcony overlooking the garden) are perfect for families who appreciate a bit more space and independence. Whether it’s breakfast together in the apartment, a little rest after exploring the city, or a cozy movie night. Everyone can enjoy their own rhythm here.

3. Because little explorers feel like heroes here

Right outside the hotel door, the adventure begins: Salzburg is best explored on foot or by bike. Families especially love the nearby playgrounds, the House of Nature, and the green paths along the Salzach River.

And after the outing? Enjoy a homemade lemonade at the bar, and for the little ones, there’s a surprise waiting: our organic Play in Choc toy, delicious chocolate, sustainable packaging, and a small build-it-yourself toy without plastic. For sparkling eyes and a good feeling all around.

4. Because sustainability comes naturally to us

Children are the future and that’s exactly why sustainability is so important to us. We’re certified with the Organic Austria Silver label and the Austrian Ecolabel. That means over 60% of the breakfast products come from organic farming: bread, cheese, eggs, jams, and juices, all enjoyed with a clear conscience. Even the youngest guests can learn that sustainability doesn’t mean giving up, it simply tastes better.

5. Because parents deserve a break, too

While the kids play in the hotel garden or relax after a day full of discoveries, parents can unwind in the Hirschen Spa: sauna, infrared cabin, yoga and relaxation room, everything you need to recharge.

6. Because Salzburg is simply perfect for families

Museums, nature, history, music. Salzburg has something for everyone. Whether following in Mozart’s footsteps, strolling through Mirabell Gardens, or visiting the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the city delights children and adults alike.

A holiday full of heart, design & ease

At Hotel zum Hirschen, comfort and sustainability meet a true sense of family. Here, kids can laugh, dogs are welcome, and parents can finally take a deep breath.
Maybe that’s the secret behind why families are always in such a good mood with us.
