10 Best Hotels
Innsbruck’s old town sits beneath the Nordkette, with cableways carrying visitors from city streets into high mountain scenery. The Golden Roof, Hofburg and Hofkirche recall its imperial past, while Zaha Hadid’s Bergisel ski jump gives the skyline a modern counterpoint. Walk the lanes around the Inn, pause in the Hofgarten or spend an afternoon among the collections at Ambras Castle. Tyrolean cooking and contemporary restaurants make evenings worth planning, particularly after a day in the mountains.
Altstadthotel Weisses Kreuz
Innsbruck, Austria
Behind its historic old-town frontage, Weisses Kreuz is full of colour, unusual furniture and theatrical details. The building dates to 1465, but its rooms are decidedly contemporary, with green, blue and purple interiors giving the categories distinct personalities. Some have balconies or views towards the Golden Roof; others offer a quieter courtyard outlook. The sixth-floor Blaue Brigitte bar is a natural place to end the day. Choose the room itself as carefully as the location.
