Radisson Blu Hotel Altstadt
Salzburg, Austria · Radisson Blu · Near Luxury
Judengasse 15 stands on the footings of a twelfth-century gate tower from Salzburg's imperial palace, and a brewery is documented here from 1449. The name Höllbräu turns up in 1526, the kettles went cold in 1922, and Franz Zell renewed the street front early in the twentieth century, setting a statue of the archangel Michael on it. In the 1990s the vaults and staircases stayed, and the old brewery inn became a 62-room hotel with a second door on the Rudolfskai.

About Radisson Blu Hotel Altstadt

- Radisson's first management contract was cancelled by the end of 1992, and the owning company kept the name under a franchise. Verkehrsbüro Hospitality runs the house now, with Albert Graf as director since 2017.
History
The Höllbräu at Judengasse 15 stands on the foundations of a twelfth-century gate tower of the imperial palace. A brewery is documented from 1449, the name Höllbräu from 1526, and brewing stopped in 1922. Franz Zell renewed the facade early in the twentieth century and added the archangel Michael. A careful rebuild in the 1990s kept the vaults and stairs and opened a 62-room hotel, first under a Radisson management contract that the company cancelled by the end of 1992, then as a franchise. Verkehrsbüro Hospitality runs it today.
The setting
The main door is Judengasse 15, in the left-bank Altstadt, with a second entrance at Rudolfskai 26 and 28 on the Salzach. The old town hall once stood just behind this block. Getreidegasse, the cathedral, and the fortress are the walk outside the door.
