Hotel Classification: Hotels are officially classified by either the Federal Association of Austrian Hotelkeepers (5-star properties only) or the hotel-keepers' trade group in each Federal Province (1-star to 4-star properties) using the standard 1-star up to 5-star system. In addition, a few independently minded properties tack an unofficial half star onto their official rating, which is represented here by use of brackets thus (*). Hotels designated "Garni" are bed and breakfast only. Some pensions are included in the normal hotel categories, so a row of stars may not always indicate a high degree of luxury.
