Meeting point of everyman

The hotel’s first-class comfort and the restaurant’s home-style cooking are key attractions: numerous celebrities from the economic, political and cultural spheres have dined or stayed the night here – and have always been happy to come back. Just like Herbert von Karajan, who chose to live in Anifer and loved to come to the Friesacher restaurant to eat.

Accompanied by the international jet set or for an intimate evening meal among artists, the maestro liked being a guest in the Friesacher restaurant, just like many of his colleagues and successors. The cosy garden and restaurant with various halls is a popular destination for opera stars, festival patrons and important business figures during the summer festival in particular.
They enjoy the consistently high quality of the traditional dishes and the remoteness from the helter-skelter of the festival city.
