Historic 'Zum Blumentritt' Hotel-Restaurant in St. Aegyd to Close on October 31
The historic 'Zum Blumentritt' hotel-restaurant in St. Aegyd am Neuwalde is set to close on October 31, 2023, marking a significant loss for the local community and the regional upscale dining scene. The closure, though known for years, has come suddenly, leaving the future of the building uncertain.
The innkeepers, a pair of sisters, have been tight-lipped about the new balance's plans. The buyer's identity remains unknown, and no news today have been made regarding their intentions for the property. The mayor, however, expresses hope that the building will continue to serve the hospitality industry.
The 'Zum Blumentritt' has been a regional flagship, contributing significantly to local tourism. It boasted eight double rooms and two single rooms, attracting visitors to the area. Its restaurant, renowned for its creative cuisine, was awarded two toques and three forks. The closure of this culinary gem is a blow to the local economy and the Mostviertel brand expansion strategy of Lower Austria Tourism Board.
The restaurant has been on the market since 2023, with no family successor in sight. The sisters will have until March 2024 to sell the carefully curated selection of fine wines from the restaurant's cellar.
The historic 'Zum Blumentritt' hotel-restaurant is closing, leaving a void in St. Aegyd's tourism and culinary scene. The new balance's plans for the building remain unclear, but the mayor's hope for continued hospitality use offers a glimmer of optimism. The sisters, who have run the establishment, are keeping the new owner's intentions close to their chest.
