Schloss Mönchstein, Historic castle hotel at Mönchsberg, Austria
Schloss Mönchstein is a castle hotel perched on Mönchsberg hill with views across Salzburg and a large park of about 14,000 square meters. The property offers guest rooms, an infinity pool, spa facilities, and fine dining.
The building was constructed as a fortress in the 12th century to defend the region. Over the centuries it underwent multiple renovations and eventually became a luxury hotel.
The castle reflects Salzburg's architectural heritage through its Gothic details and stone construction, which visitors see throughout the rooms. This blend of historic building style and modern comfort shapes how guests experience the space daily.
The hotel connects directly to Salzburg Old Town via an elevator lift, making access straightforward. The hilltop location means some paths are steeper than those found in the city below.
The Glass Garden restaurant inside the castle features a small dining room that seats only four guests at a time. This tiny dining space offers visitors an unusually intimate experience that few places can provide.
