Sheraton Grand Salzburg
Salzburg, Austria · Sheraton · Accessible Luxury
A bombing raid on 17 November 1944 destroyed the Actien-Badehaus, Salzburg's Kurhaus of 1866 to 1869, and this hotel stands on that ground, where a Marshall Plan Parkhotel Mirabell later poured the coffee for the congress hall until the early 1980s. The Sheraton that replaced it opened on 2 April 1984, seven floors against the Mirabellgarten. Elisabeth Gürtler, of the Sacher, took the majority in 1998, and in 2016, after five years and ten million euro, the house joined the Grand tier.

About Sheraton Grand Salzburg
- James Joyce's 1928 stay was at a different Hotel Mirabell. The Marshall Plan inn on this plot was the Parkhotel Mirabell, linked to the congress hall and the Paracelsus indoor baths.
- The 2016 Grand renovation redid the entire sixth floor in oiled Tyrolean oak, added 29 rooms, and put a show kitchen in the Mirabell restaurant, with a piano bar for the evening.
History
The Actien-Badehaus, Salzburg's Kurhaus, was built from 1866 to 1869 and destroyed by bombing on 17 November 1944. The Parkhotel Mirabell, financed with Marshall Plan funds, rose on the site in the 1950s, connected to the Paracelsus baths and the old congress hall, and was demolished in the early 1980s. It is not the Hotel Mirabell where James Joyce stayed in 1928. Parkhotel GmbH built the Sheraton in 1983, and it opened on 2 April 1984. In 1998 Elisabeth Gürtler-Mauthner, of Hotel Sacher, took the majority and extended the Sheraton contract. A five-year renovation costing ten million euro ended in 2016 with the Sheraton Grand designation.
The setting
Auerspergstraße 4 faces the Mirabellgarten and sits against the Salzburg Congress, in the Neustadt. Mirabell Palace is a few minutes on foot. The left-bank old town is across the river, not outside the door. The street is the Andräviertel side of the gardens.
