Schloss Mönchstein crowns the Mönchsberg hill above central Salzburg in a building first documented in 1350 — a five-star superior castle hotel where individually designed rooms and suites pair historic stone with contemporary luxury. The wellness offering matches the setting: a sauna, an outdoor infinity pool with panoramic city views, and an outdoor whirlpool tucked into a private park.
The sauna at Schloss Mönchstein is the quiet half of a wellness sequence that runs all the way to the infinity pool's edge, with Salzburg's spires on the horizon and the Festung Hohensalzburg across the valley. Treatment rooms add massages and spa rituals for guests who want a longer reset, and the parkland around the property gives you privacy that no city-centre hotel can match.
Schloss Mönchstein is the obvious Salzburg choice for travelers who want a hilltop sauna, a Michelin-starred dinner, and a hotel built into the city's history without ever feeling like a museum. Restaurant The Glass Garden carries one Michelin star and four Gault Millau toques — a fitting close to a day on the Mönchsberg.
