Hotel Der Unterschwarzachhof

Nestled at the foot of the impressive peaks of the Glemmtal Valley—the heart of Salzburg’s mountain and ski region—Hotel Der Unterschwarzachhof presents guests with a distinctive interpretation of modern luxury that redefines standards of authenticity, sustainability, and deliberate leisure.

With 37 exclusive rooms and suites, as well as the luxury chalet Die Schmiedalm, the Unterschwarzachhof ranks among the region’s top hotels. Hostess Jacky Hasenauer has transformed this historic estate—whose history dates back to 1562—into a stylish Alpine retreat. Her eye for design and attention to detail are reflected in every room: Her signature style is evident throughout the entire property. Through a clever blend of design classics, local materials, craftsmanship, and colorful fabrics and wallpapers, she has tastefully created a place to unwind.

Warmth Meets

Passion In addition to its elegant ambiance, the hotel captivates with its personal touch: warmth, passion, and the highest standards of quality define the guest experience. The expansive 1,500-square-meter Alpine spa, with its indoor and outdoor pools and exceptional relaxation areas, ensures relaxation at the highest level.

Regional Cuisine

DelightsAnother centerpiece is the cuisine: Chef Edi and his team focus on regional ingredients and seasonal variety, with many items sourced directly from their own farm. The experience is complemented by the event venue “Der Schwarzacher,” a children’s farm, a cheese dairy, and an elegant stable with a riding arena—a retreat that delights families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
