Highlights at Bad Gastein Badeschloss
In the middle of the Alps, right by the thundering waterfall of Bad Gastein. A hotspot back then - a real statement today. The Urban Nature Hotel im Badeschloss in Bad Gastein was once built as a bathhouse on Straubingerplatz and has always been the place to go for big names and free spirits.
Rooms with summit views & a sense of style
Two buildings, one feeling: pure bathing culture with personality.
