ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR GRAND LIGHTHOUSE BAD GASTEIN
First, please be aware that we do not offer packages that include accommodations. Therefore, each participant will need to book their own preferred options directly with the hotels listed below. Keep in mind that accommodation options in downtown Bad Gastein—particularly for larger groups or lower budgets—are likely to fill up quickly. Here are some key details to assist you in finding the perfect place to stay:
a) WHERE TO STAY?
The festival hub is the Keyone Hotel, located in the heart of the ski town Bad Gastein and home to various festival venues. Staying close to the hub is ideal, as all other venues are within walking distance. If you don’t find suitable options in Bad Gastein itself, often more affordable accommodations are available in the neighboring towns of Passau, Böckstein, or along the route to Bad Hofgastein. These destinations are connected to Bad Gastein by the Ski Bus.
b) WHICH BOOKING PLATFORM IS BEST?
The local tourism association’s website offers the best booking options, with more affordable choices that include 4-person flats often unavailable e.g. on booking.com.
> For budget-friendly options, visit www.gastein.com and navigate to
“Search & Book” > select “Pensionen” > “Show Map” > choose ‘Bad Gastein’ and nearby areas.
This platform provides a wider range of options at competitive rates. You may also search Google Maps for nearby accommodations and contact them directly or check Airbnb for additional choices.
c) 12% DISCOUNT CODES FOR LHF PREMIUM PARTNER HOTELS
For those wanting a central location with premium amenities (such as a private spa or kitchen), we’re offering 12% discount codes for selected partner hotels. Capacity is limited, and demand is high, so explore these options in the hotel list below and book soon! These special offers are applicable only for stays between festival period.
