Hotel Schloss Ort

Top choice in Passau


The most characterful place to sleep in Passau, this 800-year-old medieval palace by the Inn River conceals a soothingly tranquil boutique hotel, stylishly done out with polished timber floors, crisp white cotton sheets and wrought-iron bedsteads. Many of the 18 rooms enjoy river views and breakfast is served in the vaulted restaurant.
