After further changes of ownership, the company was sold to Emanuel and Harriet Walderdorff in 1939. Franz and Anna Bernauer were the tenants from 1940 until after the Second World War. In 1947 the building was stylishly modernized under the direction of the builder Hilda Crozzoli . From 1948 Harriet Walderdorff (daughter of the painter John Quincy Adams ) managed the hotel. In 1970 it was sold to Carl Adolf Vogel . He also acquired the Stockhamerbräu in the adjoining building at 35 Getreidegasse, which doubled the overnight capacity.

The Stockhamerbräu can also look back on a long history. In 1407 a Peter Haffter appears as the first owner to be identified by name. A brewer, Martin Steuber, is mentioned here for the first time in 1536. In 1569 the house was first called the Bräuhaus. For a long time it was owned by the Stockhamer family, under which the Stockhamerbräu became the third largest brewery in Salzburg in 1680. The brewery came to an end in 1865, followed by a clothes cleaning and dyeing factory, a strap maker and a confectioner. On April 25, 1945, the house was damaged by a bomb attack. After it was sold to Carl Adolf Vogel, it was incorporated into the Golden Deer.

In addition to the acquisition of the Stockhamerbräu, the company also expanded with the renting of rooms in the coppersmith's house at number 46. After 1976, various international hotel consortia took over the traditional hostel. The company is currently being marketed by the US Starwood Hotels & Resorts under the Group's own luxury brand Luxury Collection . In August 2016, the building by 20 million euros to the Swiss was Hans-Peter Wild sold, the sale had according Grundverkehrsgesetz the Province of Salzburg are approved.
