Facilities

The Hotel Blü is composed of a main building and a side building (the "Baumhaus", which was newly built in the summer of 2020), both of which are connected via an underground passageway. The general facilities include a reception, lift, Wi-Fi, breakfast room, restaurant, bar, library and ski cellar. Furthermore, the hotel also has a charging station for electric vehicles (for a fee) as well as fee-based parking spaces (subject to availability). Free parking spaces (subject to availability) can be found in the vicinity of the hotel.

The approx. 500 m² large Himmelblü spa is located on the 5th floor of the building, over the rooftops of Bad Hofgastein, which invites guests to relax with its Finnish sauna, organic sauna, panoramic relaxation room, panoramic terrace, rooftop garden and large yoga room (opening hours as per info in resort).

In addition, you will receive the Gastein Card for numerous reductions, such as reduced admission to the Alpentherme Bad Hofgastein (as per info in resort).
