Hotels in Kitzbühel

Medieval Kitzbühel transforms from winter playground to summer paradise with effortless Alpine charm. The legendary Hahnenkamm downhill race draws skiing royalty each January, but locals know the real magic happens in quieter corners of these pristine slopes. Colorful chalets line cobblestone streets where shoppers duck into boutiques selling lederhosen alongside designer ski wear. After conquering the mountains, warm up with glühwein in timber-beamed taverns serving hearty Tyrolean specialties. Summer brings hiking trails through wildflower meadows to Black Lake's crystal waters. The tennis stadium hosts an ATP tournament that briefly turns this ski town into a different kind of celebrity magnet. Reserve a table at a mountainside hut – the views alone justify whatever they're charging.
