Classic Tyrolean style is brought bang up to date at the Kitzhof, and good food and good service are the key to making your stay special. Plus, the location’s pretty good too – it’s in a quiet spot a few minutes from the centre, surrounded by fab views. And you can walk 10 minutes to the gondola or hop on the free shuttle bus instead.

The design goes all-in on the modern chalet theme, with wood panelling, red accessories and faux fur throws. And there are nods to the area’s past too, in the sepia photos of skiers and mountains on the walls.

You’ll head to the Weisser Hirsch restaurant for breakfast each day – and dinner too if you choose half board. Then you can also try the Kaminstube à la carte restaurant and pop to the bar in the Kitz Lounge for a coffee or glass of wine. Fancy something even more relaxing? The Kitz Spa is the place to be, with its pool, sauna and steam baths.
