Hotel Schloss Ort

The Hotel Schloss Ort lies within a medieval castle dating from the 13th century at the Ortspitze, the southernmost tip of Passau's old town. Here, on the legendary spit of land, the green Inn and the mighty Danube meet before continuing eastwards as one broad stream. The venerable building, with its thick walls, inner courtyard and centuries-old vaults, breathes history and ranks among the most atmospheric spots in the entire city.

The individually designed rooms are lovingly and tastefully furnished; no two are alike, and many offer a view of the water and the opposite bank. The quiet location away from the bustle, the murmur of the rivers and the special charm of the historic castle create an atmosphere that couples and romantics in particular long for.

Despite the tranquil setting at the very edge of the old town, the main sights are quickly reached: a stroll along the riverside promenade leads in just a few minutes to St Stephen's Cathedral, the town hall and the lively pedestrian zone. Anyone looking for a quiet, romantic and yet central place to stay by the water will find an unmistakable address at Schloss Ort, right in the heart of the City of Three Rivers.
