Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron – A Favorite for Families in Salzburg

Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron sits on the shore of Lake Leopoldskron, a lakeside palace where scenes from The Sound of Music were filmed. Guests can access the historic Leopoldskron Palace, the Max Reinhardt Library, and the chapel during their stay. The property is divided into two buildings: the Meierhof and the Palace, with 55 rooms in the Meierhof and 12 suites inside the palace itself.

The 12 suites inside the palace include themed accommodations such as the Max Reinhardt Suite and the Marlene Dietrich Suite with views over the lake and mountains. Rooms in the Meierhof building offer satellite TV, a private bathroom, and views of the Salzburg Fortress from select rooms. The hotel provides allergy-free rooms, soundproofing, and luggage storage for all guests.

Breakfast is served in a majestic breakfast room in the palace called the Venetian Room, or on the panorama balcony overlooking the lake during good weather. The breakfast buffet includes options such as hot cooked sausages, bacon, cold cut meats, and cheeses. No on-site dinner is provided, but the hotel offers special diet menus and the reception staff recommends and books nearby restaurants.

The hotel offers complimentary bicycle rental for guests to explore the grounds and ride around the lake. Guests receive free access to a public outdoor swimming complex and a miniature golf course next to the hotel during summer. A fitness center, electric vehicle charging stations, board games and puzzles, and a bar open from 11:00 to 23:00 are available on-site.

Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron is pet-friendly and provides pet bowls and a pet basket in the room. Family-friendly amenities include board games, puzzles, and a chapel on the premises. The hotel offers daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, and a designated smoking area, with a 24-hour front desk and security cameras in common areas and outside the property.
