Inn Simony

Today’s Gasthof Simony was built and first mentioned in a document in the 15th century as a Salzherrentheater. The  Wolfengasse, in which our house is located, is still named after its builder, the Wolfen family.

Since the decline of the salt paver family, the building has been run as a guest house. The vaults on the ground floor were able to be preserved during the fire disaster in 1750; the first and second floors were rebuilt.

In 1882 the ancestors of the Scheutz-Höplinger family acquired the property and converted it into an inn.  The famous Dachstein researcher Friedrich Simony always stayed in the house of the Klackl family during his research trips to Hallstatt. In his honour, the business was first renamed into “Simonyhütte” and finally into “Gasthof Simony”.

Enjoy your breakfast in our garden near Lake Hallstatt!

Located in the middle of the historic town centre, Gasthof Simony and the garden on the lake represent a place of tranquillity from which Hallstatt and its surroundings can be explored.

Enjoy the wonderful location, directly on Lake Hallstatt, with the opportunity of bathing in the middle of Hallstatt, in a picturesque alpine setting.

As a culinary tip, we recommend our main building, the Bräugasthof on Seestrasse, with its wonderful garden on Lake Hallstatt and the 150-year-old chestnut tree – less than a 2 minutes’ walk.
