On the gentle banks of the Traun River, in the former imperial town of Bad Ischl, stands a house where time lingers gracefully. Since 1791, the Hotel Goldener Ochs has welcomed travellers to the heart of the Salzkammergut, weaving together history, style and warm-hearted hospitality. Stories echo softly through its corridors; encounters unfold beneath high ceilings and beside river views. Here, tradition meets cosmopolitan ease, and the pleasures of refined living are quietly celebrated. A summer retreat reimagined, a haven for all seasons, the Goldener Ochs invites guests to savour inspiring moments in a setting shaped by centuries of care
Privately owned and lovingly maintained, the four-star Hotel Goldener Ochs blends imperial heritage with contemporary comfort. Gardens, a generous wellness area and celebrated regional cuisine complement its central riverside setting. Passionate hosts ensure a stay defined by warmth, discretion and that unmistakable sense of belonging found only in houses with true history.
Set directly on the esplanade along the Traun River, in the very heart of Bad Ischl, the hotel offers front-row views of colourful townhouses and alpine silhouettes beyond. From here, the town’s cultural treasures – including the Imperial Villa, the Lehár Villa and the city museum – are reached within moments. A home for all generations, it is perfectly placed for leisurely strolls, café visits and explorations of the Salzkammergut’s lakes and mountains.
Single rooms, doubles, family rooms and junior suites provide timeless comfort framed by warm materials and elegant design. Many overlook the old town or the surrounding peaks, offering picturesque views that linger long in the memory. Each space is a calm retreat after days spent discovering Upper Austria’s storied landscapes.
In the traditional restaurant, regional produce takes centre stage. Fresh fish from Salzkammergut waters, game from former imperial hunting grounds and ingredients sourced from local farmers define an authentic culinary philosophy. Awarded for its heritage and quality, the kitchen honours craftsmanship. In summer, the riverside “Traungartl” and sunny garden terrace invite lingering over beautifully prepared, heartfelt cuisine.
Open year-round, the Hotel Goldener Ochs captures the enduring elegance of the Salzkammergut. Cultural life, charming boutiques and traditional cafés unfold just beyond its doors, while the surrounding mountains beckon active explorers. Here, imperial flair, natural beauty and genuine hospitality come together in harmonious balance – a refined escape shaped by history and heart.
