Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg hosts seminars, retreats, conferences, dinners and weddings. Gatherings of up to 130 people take place here throughout the year, in a lakeside palace and a renovated estate building a few minutes from the Old Town.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer rests on several rooms of different character, all with modern technology and flexible seating. Fellows Hall, in the Meierhof building, is the largest and most adaptable room on the estate. It was fully renovated in 2020, has two bright window fronts and a balcony facing the lake, and suits seminars, conferences and exhibitions. In the palace, three seminar rooms on the second floor are set up for working groups and workshops, with daylight, large screens and an adjoining lounge for breaks. The Gallery on the third floor was renovated in 2021 and looks toward the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the lake and the Untersberg. Its lounge is used for coffee breaks. Between sessions, groups can walk the gardens, terraces and lakeside paths.
Rooms and capacities
Smaller formats have their own rooms. The Red Salon and the Green Salon take private discussions and small, exclusive meetings. The Max Reinhardt Library hosts lectures, readings, book presentations and press conferences for up to 50 guests. The Max Reinhardt Office is a room for discreet meetings of up to four. The Venetian Salon and the Mansbach White Salon, used together, take dinners and celebrations of up to 30 guests. The Great Hall on the ground floor opens onto the terrace and gardens and works for breakfast meetings and receptions. The Marble Hall covers about 172.5 square meters under a ceiling 10.5 meters high, has two balconies and several seating plans, and is used for breakfasts, luncheons and gala dinners. The Meierhof Bar, the González Lounge and the Mundheim Family Garden suit informal sessions for small groups.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies are held in the Max Reinhardt Library or on the terrace above the lake. The wedding dinner takes place in the Marble Hall. The palace offers separate formats for a ceremony alone, a wedding with in-house catering and a wedding with an external caterer, and it plans anything from an intimate ceremony to a full weekend.
Accommodation
The palace has twelve suites in the Rococo building, with views of the gardens, the lake or the fortress. The Meierhof, the former estate building next door, has 55 contemporary rooms. That makes 67 rooms on site for groups that stay overnight.
Catering
Breakfast is served in the Marble Hall. The Meierhof Lounge offers pastries, light snacks and sandwiches during the day, and the Meierhof Bar serves aperitifs, small dishes and wine in the evening, with outdoor seating toward the lake. The bar is open daily from 10:00 to midnight to house guests and visitors. Weddings can be catered by the house or by an outside caterer.
History and setting
The palace stands on a lake at the edge of Salzburg, with the Alps behind it. Its past includes Prince Archbishop Firmian and the theater director Max Reinhardt, who owned it. Scenes of The Sound of Music were filmed in its gardens and on the lake. Since 1947 it has been the home of Salzburg Global, a nonprofit forum founded to pursue peace and reconciliation, which holds sessions in its rooms. The Red Salon is believed to be the birthplace of the Salzburg Festival.
Getting there
The Old Town of Salzburg is a few minutes away. Salzburg Airport and Salzburg main railway station both serve the city.
