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.
Stay longer, save more
Did you know? At Urban Nature, you can stay longer and still save money. For example, if you’re looking forward to four nights of sunshine, top-notch design and urban vibes – you’ll only pay for three nights’ accommodation. Err, nice, isn’t it?
And even better? This doesn’t just apply to four nights, but also to five, six and seven nights. We’ll knock one night’s stay off the price for you, and your wallet will thank you for it.
