Finest Lodges

Description & Location

A breathtakingly beautifully located Hideaway in the heart of the Alps.  A fascinating combination of contemporary Zeitgeist and classic hospitality.  A secret place full of inspiration. 19 double rooms, 1 single room and 9 suites.

Once: the refuge of famous artists and writers (Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig amongst others). Today, it is a popular haunt of  modern free-thinkers and free spirits. The hotel’s friendly spirit is a synonym for a delicious slice of "heaven on earth ".

With awe-inspiring views over the Gastein valley and the mountains beyond. Haus Hirt is one of Austria´s finest rural hideaways. Small yet perfectly formed. Uncomplicated hospitality with heart and tradition and that certain extra which is hard to define, but which makes saying goodbye so very difficult.

A homage to both modern and classic design - interiors and cosy relaxed atmosphere inspired by our guests, our travels and our love of architecture and the mountains.

Location and Travel

10 minutes' walk from Bad Gasteiner waterfall, along the Kaiser-Wilhelm Promenade. Far, far away from the modern life. With mountain vistas as far as the eye can see.

Bd Gastein - pure mythology - a feast for the senses - mysterious power of water - where dreams are deep, and come true. Bad Gastein is special...we'll show you what it's all about. Bizarre, Belle Époque architecture und venerable Grand Hotels harmonise with slecker examples of the Zeitgeist, wonderful hot springs and intoxicating landscape. Gradiose - pure nature - get away from it ALL - 1000 m high Alpine pleasures - journey through dream landscapes - summer stupor over all the peaks.
