Hotel & Restaurant Zum Schwarzen Baeren Linz

Also known as Schwarzer Baer, Zum Schwarzen Baeren

The Schwarze Bar (Black Bear) has been operating as an inn on Herrenstrasse in Linz's Altstadt since at least 1654, which makes it one of Austria's continuously documented hospitality addresses. The restaurant downstairs is the real reason to come: traditional Upper Austrian cooking in a setting that feels like the building expects it.

Zum Schwarzen Baeren has been an inn on Herrenstrasse in Linz’s Altstadt since at least 1654. The restaurant serves traditional Upper Austrian cooking (Beuscherl, Tafelspitz, freshwater fish, dumplings) in a setting that fits the building. Rooms are simple, affordable, and central. Budget to moderate pricing: rooms from around EUR 60-90, restaurant mains around EUR 12-20. A legitimate historic address rather than a heritage-themed reinvention.
