Location

Central yet Quiet - the Ideally Situated Grand Park Hotel The Grand Park Hotel Bad Hofgastein is situated in the beautiful Gastein Valley, a leisure paradise and excellent starting point for numerous summer and winter sports. The impressive mountains never give visitors the impression of being hemmed in - the Hotel's location rather offers the best of both worlds: an open, sweeping valley and all the benefits of the surrounding mountain range. In the heart of Bad Hofgastein, on the edge of the National Park Hohe Tauern, you can enjoy the most extraordinary holiday in the southern region of the Salzburger Land - in midst of a splendid Hotel Park.

The skiing region Gastein with an altitude of up to 1,600 m is a sportsman's dream with guaranteed snow until April. Ski busses take you to the ski lifts in just 2 minutes - you could say the piste starts right on our doorstep. Cross-country skiers and winter hiking enthusiasts find ideal conditions in the gentle plains of the valley.

During summer the nearby Golf Club Gastein invites you to improve your handicap. The adjacent Angertal [valley] again provides a unique hiking experience for hikers.

Getting to us is very easy, as the Gastein Valley has a well-developed road infrastructure. Our diagram illustrates the quickest route to the Grand Park Hotel, regardless of which direction you are coming from. After arriving in Bad Hofgastein you can park your car free of charge in the Hotel's own car park.

Should you prefer to travel by train, we will arrange for a free transfer from the Bad Hofgastein railway station to the Hotel. Please inform the Hotel of your arrival time.

Salzburg Airport is about 90 km from the Hotel. We shall be pleased to arrange a transfer service for you, which will take about one hour from Wolfgang Amadeus Airport to the Hotel.

Food and Beverage

Only the Best from the World of Cheffing Cooking is a skill. A skill that can be classed as art. And that's exactly what our chef aspires to - no more, no less. Please take a seat and enjoy.

So as to complement the Grand Park Hotel indulgence that you enjoy in all other areas of services,  special pleasures are esrved up for your palate. Every day you can select a 5-course meal and once a week a 7-course Gala Dinner with culinary delights is going to make your evening a particular holiday highlight. Master Chef, Franz Huick, lets his creativity run free, combines novel and exotic ideas with old favourites, without going overboard. What marks all meals are the quality ingredients used, the fact that they are based on the time of year in question and the loving preparation - which becomes obvious in the little details. In order to complement these culinary 'compositions', a quality wine is a must. The wine bar contains select wines from all over the world, but particularly from Austria.

The cosy but tasteful and elegant atmosphere of our restaurant provides the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Stress-free, casual and yet still elegant that's the motto of the Park Restaurant, after all, you are on holiday!

Exquisite Austrian Cooking and Quality Wines First class indulgence - that's how one could describe the 5-course optional menu included in half board prices. Your culinary highlight is served up every evening in the cosy Park Restaurant of the Grand Hotel Bad Hofgastein. The quality wines complement the culinary experience.

A feel-good atmosphere in the Hotel restaurant is guaranteed, as the environment is relaxed and yet classy. The menu is matched with what's in season and it goes without saying that only the best products from our region find their way into the kitchen and onto your plate.

Master Chef Franz Huick cooks with love and attention to detail and without being too fancy or losing sight of the essential. Each evening he creates some new delights for your palate, as well as giving you a taste of classic Austrian food and international meals. Altogether this makes for a very tasty menu indeed - the result is a diner's heaven!

The wine cellar houses a quality wine selection from all over the world. However, the focus of the selection is on Austrian wines. Regardless which wine you'll chose, it's sure to develop its character and full aroma drop for drop while you enjoy each glass.

The Gourmet breakfast ensures the perfect start to the day. You have the choice: either you opt for the extensive classic breakfast buffet with many tasty bits from the region or you go for a smaller morning snack in our Vital-Lounge, situated directly next to the indoor pool.
