Bad Gastein - The Perfect Holiday Destination

Bad Gastein is a natural talent. Situated at an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level in the Hohe Tauern National Park, it is the perfect resort for sports fans and for fans of rest and relaxation. The Alpine metropolis, today with a population of almost 5000, has been a popular destination since medieval times for its healing springs and unique radon caves. Once a mountain village, Bad Gastein underwent an architectural and economic flowering in the Victorian age and the rule of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and gained a reputation as the most stylish spa resort in Austria and the whole of Central Europe. Today vast hotels in belle époque style still line the cliffs around the Gastein Falls, still magnificently dominating the town's architecture. Celebrities including Emperor Franz Joseph, Count Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm II honoured the town with their aristocratic presence and attracted royals, industrial magnates, intellectuals and artists. Franz Schubert, the Mozart family, Arthur Schopenhauer, Gustav Klimt and Thomas Mann – to name but a few – esteemed the spa resort as a place of recuperation and inspiration. Steep, winding lanes and steps span the 80-metre difference in altitude from the town centre and the upper town where Euro Youth Hotel and the railway station are located. In winter Bad Gastein becomes a Mecca for winter sports fans, and in summer it attracts all kinds of holidaymakers from outdoor freaks to leisurely hikers.

More than a Hotel

The hospitable, welcoming setting of Euro Youth Hotel first opened its doors to guests in 1880 under the name of Hotel Krone. The present owner, the non-profit Edith Haberland-Wagner Foundation, has striven since 2002 to provide complete satisfaction for all its guests, and welcomes young people and adults from all over the world. Edith Haberland-Wagner was a passionately socially-minded woman who ensured that the causes of youth development and understanding between nations were firmly rooted in the many and wide-ranging statutes of her Foundation. These purposes, set forth in the Foundation's deed of formation, were the central principle behind the purchase, expansion and operation of the hotel - and continue to be so today. For this reason we are particularly proud to have been listed among "Europe’s Famous Hostels" since 2006.
The hotel has limited parking, but is extremely conveniently situated near the railway station, cable car and thermal baths, ensuring a comfortable journey and a pleasant stay for guests arriving with or without a car.

The 'Alm' is the perfect place to experience a convivial evening of traditional Alpine hospitality. Originally a historical wood-panelled parlour from the Czech Republic, it was dismantled there and re-installed panel for panel at the Euro Youth Hotel. A cosy place to warm up, enjoy refreshments or have fun after skiing.
