Braeugasthof Hallstatt

Historic 15th-century hotel with a lakeside terrace under a 150-year-old chestnut tree

Building & History

Braeugasthof Hallstatt is a 15th-century building located directly on Lake Hallstatt in the car-free city center. The structure retains its Gothic architecture and has been family-run for multiple generations. A recent renovation added an elevator, and the lakeside terrace is shaded by a 150-year-old chestnut tree.

Location & Accessibility

The hotel sits 100 meters from Hallstatt's market square and a 2-minute walk from the Archaeological Museum. The boat landing is a 4-minute walk away, and a free shuttle service from the P1 parking area brings guests directly to the property. This car-free location provides quiet access to the main attractions.

Rooms & Views

Many rooms at Braeugasthof Hallstatt offer direct lake views from private balconies with wooden floors and satellite TV. The hotel has a lift to upper floors, and recently renovated rooms include modern bathrooms. Some rooms feature a terrace overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves traditional Austrian cuisine with dishes like Wiener Schnitzel and grilled trout. Meals are served on the lakeside terrace under the chestnut tree, with views of the lake and swans. The restaurant is cash-only and closes early; the apple cake is a highlight.
