Guests know they've come to the city of music and culture when they enter the lobby of the Renaissance Salzburg Congress Center Hotel in Salzburg (Austria), and are greeted with the rich notes of the hotel's grand piano. The capital of Salzburg, in the Salzburgian basin, is on the northern border of the Alps and is surrounded by three mountains. Its famed Old Town is on the banks of the Salzach River, and the hotel itself is about two kilometres from Mozart's House and the Mozart Square. Saint Peter's Cathedral, an Abby from the 9th century, is only 3.5 kilometers from the Renaissance, and the Salzburg Airport is a scant 5 kilometers from this hotel. Athletic guests and culture-loving travelers enjoy this centrally located hotel, which places them within 20 kilometers of four golf courses and minutes from the baroque gardens of the Hellbrunn Palace and the 11th century Festung Hahensalzburg, a fortress with a spectacular view, museums, and even a torture chamber. Guests may also be interested in the Sound of Music Tour, which highlights architecture and countryside seen in the 1965 movie version of the Von Trapp family's experiences in Austria during World War II.

The Renaissance offers leisure amenities such as a fitness center, indoor pool, and child care services, while offering over 17 meeting rooms and 1750 square feet for conferences and receptions. The Restaurant Tamino offers guests an international breakfast menu, and Jedermaannstube serves a selection of international and regional dishes for lunch and dinner.

The 257 guestrooms have en suite bathrooms, minibars and satellite television.

Guests may find that the best way to see Salzburg is on foot, but will be pleased to find an inexpensive bus and tram system, as well as a network of bike paths. Guests should also be advised that cars are banned from parts of the Old Town, a must-see while in Salzburg.
