Antique meets boutique
at this Altstadt hotel, where the original vaults and beams of the 800-year-old building
contrast with razor-sharp design features. Artworks inspired by the musical legends of
the Salzburg Festival grace the rooms, which sport caramel-champagne colour schemes,
funky lighting, velvet throws and ultraglam bathrooms.

Dreifaltigkeitsgasse 14; s €60, d €106-136)
Ah, the
peace is heavenly at this one-time seminary, tucked behind the Dreifältigkeitskirche. Its
bright, parquet-floored rooms were recently given a total makeover, but the place still
brims with old-world charm with its marbles staircase, antique furnishings and fountain-
dotted courtyard. It's still something of a secret, so whisper about it quietly…

For old-fashioned elegance you can't beat this central hotel, where rooms are dressed in
polished wood furnishings and floral fabrics. There's even a suite based on Mozart's
The
Magic Flute,
which has a star-studded ceiling and freestanding bath. By contrast, the spa
and indoor pool are ultramodern. Organic produce is served at breakfast.
Weisse Taube
( 84 24 04;

; Kaigasse 9; s €88-98, d €139-152; )
Housed in a listed 14th-century
building in a quiet corner of the Altstadt, the 'White Dove' is a solid choice. Staff go out
of their way to help, and the warm-coloured rooms are large and well kept (some have
fortress views). Breakfast is a generous spread.
