What is the oldest hotel and restaurant in the world?

The World's Oldest Hotel Has Been Dispensing Hospitality for More Than 1300 Years. Japan's Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan has been in operation since 705 CE.



According to the Guinness World Records, the oldest hotel in the world is Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in Yamanashi, Japan. Established in 705 AD by Fujiwara Mahito, this traditional ryokan (hot spring inn) has been operated by the same family for over 52 generations (1,300+ years). It remains a luxury destination today, famous for its ancient natural hot springs. The title for the oldest restaurant in the world is often attributed to St. Peter Stiftskulinarium in Salzburg, Austria, which was first mentioned in writing by a monk in 803 AD. It has served notable figures from Christopher Columbus to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Another strong contender is Sobrino de Botín in Madrid, Spain (est. 1725), which holds the record for the "oldest continuously operating restaurant" because it never closed its doors, even during wars. Both establishments offer travelers a chance to literally "taste history" in buildings that have survived for over a millennium.
