When you hear the name Tirol, you might think of mountains, felt hats, and long sunny hikes. You can almost certainly track down all three at these five spectacular hotels – part of the Austria Hotel Collection – which take their Tirolean spirit seriously. Impressive spa hotels and boutique gems provide a homey feeling for all types of travellers!
Astoria Resort, Seefeld
Originally the ‘Pension Britannia”, the Hotel ASTORIA in Seefeld, 30min outside of Innsbruck, has a long history as the epitome of Alpine luxury. In the 1950s, the Alpine jet-set stayed here – the ladies enjoying 5 o’clock tea and the gentlemen their cigars. Now you can recapture that elegance at the Hotel ASTORIA, which is still family-run to this day. The Mauthner family deliberately opted for Seefeld and its mid-altitude location near Zurich, Munich, Vienna, and Salzburg. It was clear from the beginning that the ASTORIA should be a family-owned five-star hotel run by directors – although today, the hotel is run by a member of the owner family: Elisabeth Gürtler.
Innovations and expansions are always ongoing – the rooms and suites have been adapted to the highest standards from 2012 to 2015, while the outdoor area was last updated in 2016. Despite this long tradition of excellence, the Hotel ASTORIA is constantly changing and renovating to provide guests with the best experience. Enjoy Alpine-chic rooms, a private spa, and the award-winning resort cuisine, which uses regional ingredients.
