Hosts

& History

Stefan combines tradition with passion. After years as the owner of Angelshare in Jenbach, he now brings the renowned whisky experience directly to the heart of Goldener Engl. As a host, he ensures every guest feels welcome – whether at check-in, with a culinary tip, or during a special moment in the house. Anyone meeting Stefan immediately senses his love for Engl and his joy in preserving stories while creating new memories.

There are places you enter – and suddenly it is quiet. Not because no one speaks, but because something speaks that goes deeper: historic walls whispering, creaking floors telling tales, rooms welcoming you as if you had been there long ago.

Around 1450 – after a devastating city fire – the building was rebuilt in Gothic splendor. Walking through the vaults of Augustiner Keller today, you can feel this era in every stone. These are the same walls that once offered people shelter, warmth, and connection.

In the 17th century: renovation. Baroque, elegant, generous. A town councilor – Oswald Haller – gave the house new life, new wings. And so a townhouse became a proud inn. Since 1629, it has carried the name “Engl” – resonant, protective, elevated. Perhaps because here, one felt a little closer to heaven.

Even today – centuries later – this spirit remains. The rooms? Rich in history with a modern touch. The floors? Creak softly like old stories. The walls? Strong and full of memories. Goldener Engl is not just a hotel but a home with many lasting memories and emotional moments – “Memorable Moments,” as we lovingly call them.

Between Hall’s historic town center, Goldener Engl, Augustiner Keller, and Angelshare, you meet people who welcome with character, serve with joy, and preserve with pride what makes this place so special.
