The Bristol Hotel Salzburg offers guests a taste of what life was like as an Austrian aristocrat. The building dates back to 1619 and housed royalty over the years until it became a family-run luxury hotel in the early 20th century. Its baroque, antique furnishings will be wonderfully charming to some and possibly a bit stuffy to others. The 60 rooms are individually decorated, and all are impressively ornate and come with free Wi-Fi, safes, and minibar. By comparison, the historic Hotel Sacher Salzburg is a little more centrally located and more expensive.

Housed inside an 800-year-old Austrian townhouse, the Hotel Am Dom could have become a stuffy, museum-like property, but instead the owner remade the interior to reflect his love for art and cutting-edge design. The 15 rooms in this upper-middle-range boutique hotel contrast period details like exposed wood beams with chalk-white furniture and punchy artwork. But beyond decor, the location is also winning. It's in the Old City section of Salzburg, just five minutes away from many major historic sights such as Mozart's birthplace and the Salzburg Museum. By comparison, the NH Salzburg City has more generic design and slightly lower rates.

The five-pearl Hotel Schloss Monchstein is a luxurious and romantic historic castle hotel with panoramic views of Salzburg from its position on top of Monchsberg Mountain. Despite its lofty location, it takes less than 10 minutes to reach most of Salzburg’s attractions on the Monchsberg elevator, to which guests have free access. The spacious 24 rooms and suites have romantic antique decor, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, and some have terraces. The hotel’s amenities -- an infinity pool, a hot tub, and a spa -- reflect the relaxing, luxurious nature of this property, and there's an attractive outdoor terrace with a fireplace, a bar, and a restaurant with the option of dining in the tower spire. Travelers who want a luxurious hotel closer to the city center may want to compare rates with the famous Hotel Sacher Salzburg, which admittedly does have fewer amenities.

Located in Salzburg’s UNESCO-designated Old Town and within easy walking distance of top attractions, this four-pearl Radisson Blu property has the kind of character that contemporary hotels can’t possibly replicate. The pretty-in-pink exterior and vaulted common areas within reinforce its medieval pedigree; same for the rough-hewn beams, antique floors and other carefully preserved details found in its 62 guest rooms. Happily, such heritage features are combined with the amenities that most appeal to modern-day travelers -- minibars, Nespresso machines, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi among them. The hotel also holds a refined river-view restaurant, a classic cafe and a beautiful banquet hall, but there are no on-site fitness facilities. If that is a deal breaker (or you simply prefer history with a Victorian twist) try the Hotel Sacher Salzburg on the other side of the river.

The 71 rooms and suites of this three-pearl boutique hotel impress, with sleek, clean, contemporary design that makes the 600-year-old building look anything but its age. Although limited in cherry-on-top amenities, the hotel goes beyond pure functionality with a few bonuses, like laundry service, a 24-hour front desk and lobby bar, and small rooftop terrace that looks out to the domes and hills of Salzburg. The Old City is just four minutes away on foot over the nearby Salzach River, which puts the majority of attractions within easy reach thanks to the compactness of the city's medieval core. To immerse yourself more in the thick of it and add some perks for a similar price, head a few blocks south to the Hotel Elefant.
