Gastronomy in historic building with view of the Traun

A very rare opportunity presents itself to rent a wonderfully fully furnished premises with a Viennese café, restaurant and lounge in the heart of Bad Ischl. The enchanting premises are located directly in the historic building of the former hotel "Zur Kaiserin Elisabeth", at the beginning of the pedestrian zone, the Esplanade and the Traun river.

Currently, a very successful gastronomic business with a successful concept is located here. The current tenant would like to give up his current business for personal reasons. A short-term takeover would be possible by arrangement.

The location features a historic café with original ceiling paintings from the 19th century and is fully equipped with traditional Viennese furnishings. The restaurant, which is connected to the café, was designed in a modern, typically Ischl hunting lodge style and offers a wonderful view of the Traun and the Leharvilla.

The lounge, inspired by the Italian Renaissance, was created by the famous master builder Tallachini and has been preserved in its original state. From its cozy seating areas, one enjoys an incredible view into the historically decorated dome of the house and can enjoy the southern romantic atmosphere with a cocktail or a good wine.

The premises are completed with a fully equipped kitchen, cold room and additional storage rooms in the basement. A total of approx. 140 seats are available. Due to this size, additional opportunities for events and celebrations are offered (concepts for this are already available).

Furthermore, the guest garden located directly in front of the premises can be rented from the city, thus creating additional seats for the summer months.

As a further highlight, it should be reported that the later Empress Elisabeth (Sissi) together with her mother Ludovika and her sister Nené stayed here in this property at the time of her engagement in the year 1853. This fact subsequently attracted dozens of crowned heads, high aristocrats and famous artists.

Bad Ischl itself, described as the heart of the Salzkammergut, is still a very popular year-round spa and holiday resort with a lot of tourist activity.

Thanks to the excellent city policy, the spa town has not lost its connection to modernity. Ischl is today a vibrant shopping town with numerous unusual shops, farmers' markets, a huge thermal spa, operetta festivals, Kaiservilla, Leharvilla, city museum and a wonderful spa climate in a unique mountain setting. It is not for nothing that Bad Ischl-Salzkammergut was European Capital of Culture in 2024.

If we have awakened your gastronomic dream, we would be happy to arrange a joint viewing appointment with you.

Here you experience tradition and modernity as a homogeneous and forward-looking unit.
