Hotel Gruener Baum has been a guest house since 1390, documented as one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in the Alps. Emperor Franz Joseph stayed here. The same Gastein thermal water that feeds the public baths runs through the hotel’s own spa. Family-owned throughout its history, sitting in the upper village at Kotschachtaler Strasse 26. Expensive (EUR 180-350+); thermal facilities are the practical reason to stay here rather than in a newer property. Book well ahead for winter and summer peak seasons. Check grbaum.com.
