12 Recommended Hotels
Schlosshotel Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
Best overallSchlosshotel Kitzbühel is built for guests who want everything in one place… The castle-style resort sits about 800 m from the town centre, looks across to the Streif and wraps a 3,000 m² spa, two restaurants, a kids' club and its own 9-hole golf course into one stay. Guests speak most warmly about the spa, especially the sauna infusions after skiing, the generous buffets at breakfast and dinner, and staff who stay personal despite the size. Skiing is well organised rather than on the doorstep. The nearest lift is about 1.1 km away, so the day starts with the hotel shuttle to the valley station, while ski passes, a locker with a boot dryer for each room and an in-house rental shop take care of the rest. In summer the golf course and the hiking trails take over. The flip side is scale: the resort can feel corporate, parking costs extra and rooms have no air conditioning. Families and spa lovers will find it easy to settle in.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.2 from 946 reviews. Leads the ranking on the weight of evidence: 946 reviews to #2's 150, although #2 scores higher (9.4 to 9.2).
Hotel Tennerhof
Kitzbühel, Austria
Peace and quietHotel Tennerhof suits travellers who want Kitzbühel with a quieter, more traditional feel… The estate dates from 1679 and sits in a large garden on the slope above town, about 1 km from the centre, with rooms furnished in family antiques and views over the rooftops to the mountains. Guests speak most warmly about the staff and the food, from a breakfast they praise again and again to dinner in the gourmet restaurant, while two pools and a spa round off a ski day. This is not a ski-in/ski-out address: the Hornbahn I lift is about 600 m away, and the free shuttle runs to the Hornbahn and the Hahnenkammbahn throughout the day. The traditional style has a flip side, as some areas feel dated, there is no air conditioning and skiers would like a better-organised ski room. The hotel opens for a winter and a summer season only. Couples who value character and personal service over a slope-side location will feel at home here.
Why this position
Highest guest score of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.4 from 150 reviews. Scores higher than #1 (9.4 to 9.2), on a smaller body of reviews (150 to 946).
Hotel Weisses Roessl
Kitzbühel, Austria
Spa & wellnessHotel Weisses Roessl is made for guests who want to step straight into Kitzbühel's old town… The five-star hotel sits at the gate of the medieval centre, with boutiques and cafés a few steps away and the Hahnenkammbahn about 400 m off, and the hotel shuttle runs skiers to the valley station on request. Guests speak most warmly about the location, the first-class breakfast and the friendly staff, and they value the indoor pool, the spa and the ski lockers. The trade-offs are real, though. Many guests found their rooms too warm with heating they could not control, and opening the window brings in street noise. The Japanese restaurant Zuma dominates the ground floor in the evening, with no other dining option in the hotel, and some superior rooms feel small for the price. Skiers who spend their evenings in town and value location above all will be happiest here.
Why this position
Sits behind #2 on both the score (8.7 to 9.4) and the sample it rests on (84 to 150 reviews).
Grand Tirolia Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
GolfGrand Tirolia Kitzbühel suits travellers who want space and views more than a town-centre address… The resort sits on the hillside on the Eichenheim golf course, about 3 km from the centre, with modern, spacious rooms and many large balconies looking out over the Alps. Guests speak most warmly about the views, the quality of the rooms, the spa with its indoor and outdoor pools and six saunas, and a breakfast many describe as exceptional. In winter, skiing depends on the hotel shuttle, which runs every 30 minutes to the Hahnenkammbahn and the Hornbahn; the nearest lift, the Bichalm, is about 1.9 km away, and skis can be hired in the hotel. In summer the golf course is on the doorstep and hiking trails run nearby. The trade-offs are a parking charge, a crowded breakfast room at weekends and occasional housekeeping lapses, and some find the style more modern than Tyrolean. Couples who plan to enjoy the resort itself will be well looked after.
Why this position
The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 1,985 reviews, averaging 8.8. Guests rate it above #3 (8.8 to 8.7) and on more reviews (1,985 to 84).
Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol
Kitzbühel, Austria
Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol is built for guests who want the mountains first and the town second… It stands in Jochberg, about 7 km south of Kitzbühel, with direct access to the KitzSki slopes in winter and the Hausleiten lift about 100 m away, while in summer more than 200 km of hiking trails start at the door. Guests speak most warmly about the service, the breakfast and the 3,600 m² spa, and families value the Kempinski Kids Club and the spacious, air-conditioned rooms. The location that makes skiing so easy also has a downside: Kitzbühel's restaurants and bars are a drive away, so evenings out need a car, a taxi or the hotel's limousine. Some guests found parts of the hotel and their room dated, and families in summer noted that the outdoor pool can be cold. Skiers, hikers and families who plan to spend their days on the mountain and their evenings in the spa will find it a very convenient base.
Why this position
Sits behind #4 on both the score (8.7 to 8.8) and the sample it rests on (770 to 1,985 reviews).
Kitzhof Mountain Design Resort
Kitzbühel, Austria
Affordable luxuryKitzhof Mountain Design Resort suits travellers who want style and a central base rather than a remote retreat… It sits about 500 m from the centre of Kitzbühel, mixes Alpine materials with modern design and adds an indoor pool, a spa area with a hammam and a fitness centre guests rave about. Staff are praised for a warm welcome and helpful service, and breakfast is singled out again and again for its variety. For skiing, the Ganslern lift is about 500 m away and the Hahnenkammbahn about 850 m, so most guests walk or take the hotel shuttle, and the ski cellar has boot heaters and lockable ski safes. In summer the terrace and garden take over. The weaker side is dinner, as some guests found the menu basic and the à la carte prices high, and a few would like more comfortable beds. Skiers and active couples who eat out in town some evenings will find a well-run, good-looking base.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.2 from 490 reviews. Scores higher than #5 (9.2 to 8.7), on a smaller body of reviews (490 to 770).
Alpenhotel Kitzbühel am Schwarzsee
Kitzbühel, Austria
Alpenhotel Kitzbühel am Schwarzsee is made for guests who want Kitzbühel's nature more than its nightlife… The hotel stands on the shore of the Schwarzsee, about 2 km from the centre, renovated in 2021 with spacious, modern rooms and balconies looking over the lake and the mountains. Guests speak most warmly about the setting, the friendly staff and the breakfast, and the spa with its lake sauna and pool rounds off the day. In winter a free shuttle takes skiers to the Fleckalmbahn and a cross-country trail starts close to the hotel, while in summer guests swim in the lake and borrow bicycles for free. The trade-off is distance: the shuttle does not run into Kitzbühel, the walk takes about half an hour, and the single restaurant has a short menu and closes early. There is no air conditioning either. Couples who want calm, views and a good spa will find it a peaceful base.
Why this position
Sits behind #6 on both the score (9.1 to 9.2) and the sample it rests on (318 to 490 reviews).
Hotel Kaiserhof Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
Hotel Kaiserhof Kitzbühel is made for guests who want to step out of the door and onto the mountain… The Hahnenkammbahn valley station is about 50 m away, the old town a five-minute walk and the train stop just around the corner, and in winter the hotel works as ski-in/ski-out. Guests speak most warmly about the friendly reception, the excellent breakfast and the spacious, quiet rooms, many with a balcony or terrace facing the mountains, while half board adds an afternoon snack and a multi-course dinner. In summer the same gondola takes hikers up the Hahnenkamm. The weak points are practical: not every room has air conditioning, which some guests felt on hot days, the indoor pool and gym are small, and parking costs extra in a tight garage. Skiers and walkers who want Kitzbühel within easy reach, with traditional Tyrolean comfort, will find it a well-run base.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #7 (1,445 to 318), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.1).
Hotel Rasmushof Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
Hotel Rasmushof Kitzbühel is made for guests who want to live right where Kitzbühel skis… The family-run hotel stands in the finish area of the Streif at the foot of the Hahnenkamm, with ski-to-door access, the Ganslern lift about 150 m away and the town centre a short walk off. Guests speak most warmly about the kind, helpful staff, the excellent breakfast and the Tyrolean character of the house, and in summer the hotel's own 9-hole golf course takes over from the slopes. The trade-offs lie indoors. Dinner does not reach the level of the breakfast, the country-style rooms feel rustic and could use an update, there is no air conditioning, and the pool and sauna close at 20:00. Skiing back to the door also means coming down the bottom of the Streif. Skiers and golfers who value location, tradition and personal service over modern design will feel at home here.
Why this position
Scores higher than #8 (9.1 to 9.0), on a smaller body of reviews (249 to 1,445).
Das Reisch
Kitzbühel, Austria
Das Reisch is made for guests who want to stay right in the middle of Kitzbühel… The family-run hotel is about 100 m from the centre, a few minutes' walk from the old town and about 400 m from the Hahnenkammbahn, so skiers walk to the lift and evenings in town need no car. Guests speak most warmly about the breakfast, which many rank among their favourites, the friendly staff and the renovated, individually designed rooms, and the sauna, steam bath and infrared cabin are included. The location has one clear downside: rooms at the front face The Londoner, a busy pub, and several guests heard it late into the night. There is no pool, coffee capsules beyond the first two cost extra, and garage spaces must be booked. In summer the golf courses and the Schwarzsee are close by. Skiers and couples who want a personal, central base will feel at home, especially in a room at the back.
Why this position
Level with #9 on the guest score (9.1) and on the reviews behind it.
ERIKA Boutiquehotel Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
ERIKA Boutiquehotel Kitzbühel suits guests who want character and a spa within easy reach of town… The Art Nouveau house dates from 1897, sits about 500 m from the centre and combines period architecture with modern, spacious rooms and lovely grounds. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, the breakfast and the spa with its saunas and two pools, and in summer the garden with its swimming pond comes into its own. For skiing, the Hornbahn I is about 500 m away and the Hahnenkammbahn a short drive, and a free shuttle runs to the lifts in the mornings, while skis stay in the ski cellar. The trade-offs are practical: there is no air conditioning, rooms facing the road can be noisy, and the layout between rooms and spa takes some getting used to. Couples who want a historic, well-run house close to the centre will find much to like.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #10 (1,124 to 251), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.1).
Aktivhotel Schweizerhof Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel, Austria
Aktivhotel Schweizerhof Kitzbühel is built for skiers who want the shortest possible way to the mountain… It stands right next to the Hahnenkammbahn valley station at the bottom of the Streif, so guests ski back to the door and unclip in front of the ski room, while the old town is a two-minute walk away. Guests speak most warmly about the location, the fresh, varied breakfast and the helpful staff, and the ski depot with lockable lockers keeps equipment tidy. In summer the hotel runs guided hikes and four golf courses are close by. The weaker side is the extras: the indoor pool runs cool for some, spa slippers cost extra, rooms have no tea or coffee making and the dinner menu is short, though well cooked. Skiers and active travellers who spend their days outside and want the lift and the town on the doorstep will find it a very practical base.
Why this position
The same guest score as #11 (9.0), on a smaller body of reviews (346 to 1,124).
