Grand Tirolia Kitzbühel

In Kitzbühel, the living is good. Golf, skiing, a tradition of flavor-forward food, and anticipatory service above all are commonplace here. Parachute into this little dream at Grand Tirolia Kitzbühel, a luxury Austrian ski hotel.

The large wooden beamed ceilings you'd hope for are here, as is the marvelous skiing from December to April from the Hahnenkamm piste all the way down to the valley. Make sure to use the Complementary Ski Shuttle from the Resort to three different ski areas.

Don't forget the spring and summer months, where nordic hiking and golf at Eichenheim fill sunny days. The golf course is situated directly in front of the Resort, meaning a round is never far away!

That said; it's the unexpected elements that really turn up the corners of smiles. Seven different categories of rooms are furnished with a mix of rustic elements, plus others ripped directly from the pages of contemporary interior design magazines.

The Grand Alps Spa is nothing less than a jewel that sparkles with healing energy, perfect for capping off a day of sport. Tyrolean herbal spa, anyone? A new highlight since January 2012: The worldwide 1st NIANCE® World of Luxury treatment rooms.

Chefs wield their tools like possessed artists in the casual Bistro, Restaurant – Petit Tirolia, and Hotel Restaurant. Nights of banter are fueled at both the Lobby bar, and Wine Island - which is exactly as stunning as it sounds.
