A wealth of tradition, history and lasting memories

It all started when Emma and Johann Brandstätter transformed the former farm at the current location into a simple guest house after the war. The childless couple did not have any successors. When Emma’s nephew Bernd finally married Elfi, the daughter of restaurateur at the Gasthof Grill in Faistenau, without further ado the Brandstätter’s adopted their nephew and handed over this young and ambitious couple - Elfi and Bernd - their guest house.

Over the years Elfi and Bernd Brandstätter transformed the former Busgasthof into a culinary and stylish well-being oasis. While Bernd preferred to look after the finances and the administration, keeping himself in the background, Elfi, as patronne took care of the development and design of the hotel, ensuring quality and a sense of soul were upheld.

26 years ago, son Tobias then took over the culinary management of the hotel – and shortly after that, his wife Evelyn entered the family business. For more than 25 years now she has been managing the legendary ‘Cafe Bazar’ in Salzburg’s city area.

In 2020 Elfi and Bernd Brandstätter went into well-deserved retirement and the business was taken over by son Tobias Brandstätter, who had for many years been in charge of managing the culinary aspects, along with his wife Evelyn. The concept and vision of ensuring traditions are upheld, sustainability and slowing down the pace of life has been passed on to the next generation too. In the coming years Hotel Brandstätter will remain just as it has been and how it is. Just carefully and discreetly further developed, improved and optimised in some respects.
