Innsbruck chains nature with culture

Innsbruck is called the capital of the Alps: a magnificent mountain scenery surrounds the city. With the Nordkettenbahn cable car it only takes you 20 minutes to get to the top of the mountain directly from the city center. Hiking, mountain biking, skiing are just some of the sports for which you will find optimal conditions here.

The heart of Innsbruck is the charming Old Town with the famous Golden Roof, the City Tower and the Imperial Palace. In the idyllic narrow lanes of the Old Town you will find many small fascinating shops and in the warm season, cozy garden restaurants invite you to sit down and enjoy a coffee and apple strudel.

With the recently opened "Haus der Musik", Innsbruck has a new hotspot for music and theater beside the "Tiroler Landestheater". A special cultural highlight takes place every summer: The Ambras castle concerts and the Festival of Early Music.

Our hotel in the heart of the city

Shopping in the Rathausgalerie, a ride with the Nordkettenbahn to the Hafelekar which is located 2.300 metres on the top of the mountain, a visit at the Museum of Tyrolean Folk Art or a concert at the Castle Ambras ... our hotel is located centrally and is the ideal starting point for your activities in Innsbruck - for business or pleasure!
