Property details

A stylish and welcoming hotel in Bad Hofgastein, the perfect base for adventures in the Gastein Valley, surrounded by beautiful nature - includes breakfast, dinner, spa access, Gastein Card and more
  • Heart of the mountains: Tucked away in a quaint Austrian spa town cradled in the mountains, Hotel Blü invites you to unwind and rediscover nature. However, its rural location doesn’t mean rustic decor; inside, modern lines and Alpine-chic furnishings characterise this recently revamped retreat, making it a sleek haven.

  • Flavours around the globe: From the fields of Austria to the plains of Asia, you’ll find a delectable menu teeming with flavour and colour. Enjoy a warming breakfast in the morning and in the evenings be sure to tuck into a hearty bowl of Pho beef soup, or a tender venison loin, washed down by a glass (or two) of regional wine.

  • Vistas and spa views: Aside from the benefits of being surrounded by nature, there’s plenty to help you unwind. At HimmelBlü Spa, combine breathtaking views with a Finnish sauna, loungers and cosy corners, before whiling the hours away. There’s even a rooftop garden and daily yoga sessions to slip down a gear, too.
