Part 2
When I�m on my own, or when I�m hosting guests, I stay at the Goldner Hirsch. I do love this hotel. It�s smack in the centre of town, facing Str Gedreidegasse, which is the main shopping area. If you�re on your own, or if you�re interests are more in shopping and sightseeing, then this may be just the place for you. The hotel has less than a hundred rooms, but I can�t recall how many. I think the only occasional demotivator has been when there�s an excess of American guests in the hotel. I remember the concierge once telling me that almost all of them use frequent traveller awards and it can become a bit demanding on the hotel.

I'm a bit of a fanatical �foodie� as well as a hopeless romantic. So my preferences most often are tied to dining and ambiance. If my hands were twisted, I�d probably vote for the Schloss M�nchstein because of its intimacy.
Salzburg is one of my favourite cities in the world, so I�m constantly finding reasons to strand myself there!
I hope you have a wonderful trip!
