This 4-star hotel in Kirchberg is the real Tyrolean deal. From the outside, it looks just like a classic Austrian stay, with its wooden balconies and painted frescoes. Inside, you'll find lots of warm wooden touches that give it that proper alpine vibe.

The bar area is the heart of this place. It's a friendly spot to kick back, put your feet up by the fire, or swap stories over drinks. In the mornings, you can fuel up with a big breakfast buffet loaded with tasty local treats from the Kitzbühel area. In the evening, get ready for a 4-course dinner with meat or veggie mains. Sticking with the foodie theme, there’s also a Tyrolean buffet once a week, where you can tuck into local specialities like smoked ham and dumplings.

There are plenty of perks facilities-wise too. Kicking things off is a wellness area, where you can relax in the sauna, steam room, or infrared cabin. There are also free yoga classes twice a week if you fancy a little pre-ski zen. And you can’t miss the candlelit walk with schnapps tasting on Sunday evenings.
