When I visited the Innsbruck Hofburg yesterday I never imagined living the Roccoco lifestyle of Empress Marie-Thérèse of Austria. We arrived in Salzburg today with fresh snow on the ground. The city is quite lovely in winter. We went directly to our hotel The Bristol Salzburg, see www.bristol-salzburg.at
we asked that they give us a different room this time, in the past we always stayed in the Tuscany Suite on the first floor. This time they gave us the Makart Suite on the third floor, I was not quite prepared for what we saw when we entered the room accompanied as is the tradition of this hotel by the Front Office Manager followed by the bellhop with the luggage. We will probably see the owner later on during our stay because, he always makes a point of speaking with guests. The welcome was quite warm since we are known and returning guests to this hotel. We even met our new bartender who at the Sketch Bar has replaced the irreplaceable Gunther. The new fellow's name is Ben, like the Pope.
The Bristol is a very special hotel and old fashion in all it does, this is what makes the absolute charm of this hotel and really puts it into a niche all its own. Nothing is ordinary here and our room exceeds all our expectation including the spectacular view.

A picture taken in May of the Bristol Hotel with the old Austrian Imperial flag.
The room itself is quite large 10 meters by 12 meters.
The bathroom alone is 6 meters long by 4 meters wide. I have never seen such a large bathroom done in Roccoco style, marble floors, larged marbled mirrors, crystal chandelier, enormous bathtub, a separate shower stall the size of an elevator, etc... not to mention the special soaps, the room itself is also magnificient.
You have a look for yourself, I am enchanted by this room, I could live here forever.
After undoing our luggage, we went downstairs to the Sketch bar to meet our new barman for our stay and had champagne to calm ourselves.
The view form our room, with the old city and the Archbishop's palace up on the hill.

Not sure my first attempt worked: same message as for your consort - you're in the Marschallin's bedroom (more or less) on the 100th anniversary of her opera, was the comment. And, oh my word, deeply weird - the word I'm supposed to identify to verify this post, as logical as ever, is 'mensfuc'
ReplyDeleteMakart Room after the 19th century painter Hans Makart who died at 44 yrs of age. Sotheby's sell his paintings for around 30,000 pounds. His father worked at the Mirabell Palace behind the hotel as a Chamberlain.
