Hotel Salzburger Hof in Bad Gastein offers six conference rooms for 8 to 134 people, with a 134-seat auditorium as the largest. It suits a board meeting, a training day or a regional conference, with team activities in the valley added around the sessions.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a seminar and conference address. Its six rooms carry the names of composers and range from a small room for ten people around a table to the auditorium. Rooms can be set in theatre, parliament, U-shape or round-table layouts, within the limits of each room. The hotel states that it provides modern conference technology, and a seminar folder can be downloaded from its website.
A working day can be combined with activities the hotel lists: rafting on the Salzach, paragliding, a climbing garden in front of the building, horse-drawn sleigh rides in winter, an evening in a traditional mountain hut, a winter games afternoon with an obstacle race and curling, and an after-work party. The team helps build a programme around your agenda, from a short company presentation to a multi-day conference.
