Austria Classic Hotel Wolfinger

Austria Classic Hotel Wolfinger is a three-star city hotel located at Hauptplatz 19 in Linz, Austria, directly on the city's main square. The hotel occupies a building whose history reaches back to the 15th century, originally constructed as a monastery. It was first mentioned as an inn (Herberge) in 1616, and by 1771 it operated as the Gasthof zum "Goldenen Löwen" (Inn at the Golden Lion). Over the centuries it hosted notable guests including Prince Metternich (1841), Archduke Johann (1843), Hans Christian Andersen (1869), and composer Anton Bruckner, who was a regular. Today the hotel is part of the Austria Classic Hotels group and presents itself as a harmonious blend of historic ambience and modern comfort. The hotel offers rooms and apartments furnished predominantly in Biedermeier style, complemented by modern elements. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, telephones, and hairdryers. The property features a generous breakfast room with views over Linz's baroque Hauptplatz, bright seminar and event spaces, a free internet corner, and free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Its central location makes it a base for city tourists, cyclists, groups, and business travelers, with public transport and the Hauptplatz underground garage nearby. Because the building dates from the 15th century and is protected as a historic monument (Denkmalschutz), it is not barrier-free or wheelchair accessible. The hotel markets itself as "Linz's most central" and offers packages such as the "Linz-Wochenende 2026" weekend, which includes two nights in a double room, a rich breakfast buffet, and a 48-hour Linz Card. The building at Hauptplatz 19 is also recorded as a building in Linz, Austria, in Wikidata (Q37979083).
