The best ski hotels and chalets in Kitzbhel, Austria
Old coaching inns converted into four- and five-star hotels vie for space in Kitzbühel’s ancient streets alongside smart fashion boutiques and wickedly expensive cafés.
But despite the resort’s diamond-studded image, the cost of a stay here can be a pleasantly reasonable surprise. Staying in the neighbouring villages of Kirchberg, Reith, Jochberg or Aurach can see prices drop even further.

Situated just outside the old city walls, Hotel Weisses Röessl started life in the 16th century as the humble Bichlwirt coaching inn, where travellers on their way from Innsbruck to Salzburg would change horses. After local businessman Franz Reisch brought skiing to Austria from Scandinavia in the 1890s, the canny owners changed its name to Weisses Rössl (White Horse) and it has slowly evolved into Kitzbühel’s best and most luxurious hotel. The rooms in the older part of the building have been newly renovated, and it has a fine restaurant, atmospheric wine cellar (available for private dining) and an outstanding spa. The bottom of the giant pool features a white horse in mosaics.
