THE PLACE TO FEEL HISTORY
400 YEARS OF HOSPITALITY AT IMLAUER PALAIS MIRABELL
With the IMLAUER Palais Mirabell – formerly Hotel am Mirabellplatz – we have once again succeeded in breathing new life into an important piece of Salzburg’s city history. After extensive and careful renovation work, the traditional building now presents itself in new splendor and combines historical charm with contemporary comfort.
The hotel’s long history, its special significance for Salzburg’s old town and the meticulous redesign make the IMLAUER Palais Mirabell a special gem. Here, tradition and modernity merge to create a unique hotel experience with a stylish ambience and unmistakable character.
An eventful history
Located directly opposite the world-famous Mirabell Gardens, today’s IMLAUER Palais Mirabell is closely linked to the history of Mirabell Palace and the city of Salzburg.
Prince Archbishop Paris Lodron (reigned 1619-1653) valued Mirabell Palace as a preferred residence and had the city’s fortifications extended to incorporate the palace into the city walls.
Representative buildings for his family and relatives were built in the immediate vicinity at the time, including the primogeniture and secundogeniture palaces. The building that now houses the IMLAUER Palais Mirabell was also built in 1653 and thus looks back on centuries of history.
A devastating fire in 1818 caused considerable damage, particularly to the upper floors of the house. However, it was rebuilt quickly and with great care. Evidence that the building had been used as an inn since 1816 – and later became a hotel steeped in tradition – also dates from this time.
The new IMLAUER Palais Mirabell
Since 2019, the traditional hotel has been part of the IMLAUER Group with hotels and restaurants in Salzburg, Vienna and Styria. At the beginning of 2026, large parts of the almost 400-year-old building were extensively renovated and modernized with great care and sensitivity.
The result is a harmonious interplay of past and present: historic vaults, an original column and marble staircases are stylishly combined with warm wooden elements, fine materials and modern design. The palace has been given a new lease of life without losing sight of its special character and tradition.
As soon as you enter, the IMLAUER Palais Mirabell welcomes its guests with a calm, elegant ambience, lovingly selected details and an atmosphere that perfectly combines style and comfort.
The rooms also reflect this special concept: the classic charm of a historic palace meets contemporary comfort and modern design – for a stylish living experience in the heart of Salzburg.
