Overview
Formerly known as the Hotel Salzburgerhof, Hotel Blü offers a fresh, contemporary take on Alpine hospitality in the heart of Bad Hofgastein. Its bold, colourful design runs throughout the property, from the open-plan bar and lounge to the bright, modern bedrooms, which feature light wood furnishings and striking artwork.
Perfectly located in the pedestrianised centre of town, the hotel is just a seven-minute walk from the Schlossalm lifts. For added convenience, a free ski bus stops directly outside, making access to the slopes quick and easy even in ski boots.
Afternoons at Hotel Blü are all about relaxation and atmosphere. The BLÜ-bar provides a laid-back après-ski setting, while the rooftop HimmelBLÜ wellness area offers a peaceful escape with panoramic views. Here, guests can unwind in the sauna, stretch out with a yoga session or enjoy the tranquil HimmelBLÜ winter garden after a day on the mountain.
Each morning begins with a generous hot and cold buffet breakfast, and in the evening the hotel restaurant serves a mix of regional specialities and international favourites. Combined with warm Austrian hospitality, Hotel Blü stands out as one of the most popular and stylish stays in Bad Hofgastein.

About Bad Hofgastein
Largest connected skiing area in this area. Downhill runs with over 1000m difference in altitude promise varied piste fun – perfectly connected with modern lifts and cable cars. Ideal for skiing pleasure! We would recommend the Judau lift in the skiing centre in the Angertal Valley for beginners. Especially popular: the Hohe Scharte Nord (north) (marked on the piste plan as downhill run number H 1) – and with a length of 8 km and a difference in altitude of 1,440m it is one of the longest downhill runs in the Eastern Alps.
Hofgastein is a spa town as well, but is prettier with more traditional buildings and a traffic-free centre. It is mainly a hotel resort and most of the better eateries are found in the 50 or so hotels. For non-skiers there are lots of activities including the baths, but as with Bad Gastein some may not warm to the subdued ambience. It is also important to check the location of your accommodation, as that found in the centre has quicker access to the gondola and the skiing. There isn't too much to choose between the 2 resorts, but Hofgastein might just shade it, as it's prettier and closer to the slopes.
