Details-  This hotel is worth every penny you pay for its prime location in Salzburg and inventive decor.  Rooms range from ultra modern suites incorporating etched glass walls and beautiful plumbing fixtures, to simple single person rooms.  Everywhere art abounds, even in the tiny elevator.  The restaurant and bar, also used for breakfast, offer the charm of old architecture balanced with impeccable style and modernity.  There is an outdoor eating garden at the rear entrance, and the main shopping street is at the front.  Free internet is available on an I-Mac at the side of the front desk, and English is spoken.  Each floor has been given a name, and has a small vestibule area near the staircase and elevator.  The rooms are of medium size, all differently furnished and uniquely detailed. The Junior Suite # 228 is a knock-out with a wall of windows opening onto a private courtyard and a bath right out of an upscale showroom.

Notes- For a single traveler, the Max Reinhardt room # 104 is a study in modern efficiency.  The Don Giovanni #222  and the suite mentioned earlier are our favorites, if you would like a splurge.

Quotes-   "Blaue Gans was in a great location with delicious big breakfasts and easy access to all the Salzburg sites.  The modern art and modern feel to the rooms made it a fun twist to your usual hotel room."  Diane M. (Sunnyvale, CA) June 2004

“What a great place!  The combination of modern art and perfect location make this hotel a true find!”  Roger Tinsman, December 2002
