Schlosshotel Kitzbühel
Tyrolean castle resort
Tyrolean castle resort
The resort was built like an alpine fortress, set along nine golf fairways looking straight across to the Hahnenkamm.
What it’s good at
Listed
Spacious duplex suites and mountain-view balconies overlooking the Hahnenkamm ski slopes.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Nearly all of A-ROSA Kitzbühel’s 115 rooms and 36 suites feature at least some view of the mountain range or Hahnenkamm, the crown jewel of the world-class Kitzbühel ski resort.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The fairways of Golfclub Kitzbühel wrap around the grounds, and Kitzbühel's medieval town center sits just a short walk away.
The rooms
Most rooms look out toward the mountains. Larger two-story suites open onto broad terraces facing the ski slopes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone pillars flank the indoor pool beneath a circular skylight, connecting directly to the heated year-round outdoor pool.
The saunas and baths
Seven heat rooms include a mineral steam bath lit by fiber-optic stars and an event sauna with daily scheduled infusions.
At the table
The lounge pours evening cocktails beside the fireplace, and STREIF prepares Tyrolean dishes at live cooking stations.
How it began
The 2005 build was styled after neighboring Schloss Kaps, a 16th-century Renaissance castle that shares the surrounding parkland.
