What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Stage 12 Hotel by Penz adds some stylish panache to a historic building, an easy walk from any landmark that comes to mind.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto pedestrian Maria-Theresien-Straße, an easy walk from the RathausGalerien and the Goldenes Dachl.
The rooms
Parquet floors and mid-century pieces keep interiors quiet. Balcony rooms look straight out toward the Alps.
The saunas
Tiered timber benches line the Finnish sauna on the top floor, set beside an organic bio-sauna and steam bath.
Gym and relaxation
Cardio machines face mountain views on the top floor, and padded platform daybeds rest beneath dark attic rafters.
Restaurant
Breakfast Room
Spherical pendants hang like clouds above booth seating, where morning buffets lay out fresh muesli and homemade spreads.
At the table
Beyond an elongated brass counter, the cocktail bar opens onto an inner courtyard terrace for evening drinks.
How it began
The name honors the Breinösslbühne, an iconic Innsbruck theatre that staged performances behind this sixteenth-century facade for generations.
