Hotel Post Kitzbühel is a historic 4-star superior hotel occupying a prime address at Vorderstadt 2 in the pedestrian zone of Kitzbühel's medieval old town in Tyrol, Austria. The property traces its origins to 1769, making it one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in the Kitzbühel area, and its position in the heart of the Altstadt places guests within steps of the town's boutique shops, traditional cafes, and the atmospheric cobbled lanes that define this renowned Alpine resort.
The hotel's architecture and interiors reflect its centuries-long history — timber-panelled hallways, arched archways, and locally crafted furnishings combine with modern comfort standards in the 52 guest rooms and suites. Room categories range from classic double rooms to more spacious superior rooms and suites, with upper floors offering particularly good views across the rooftops of the old town to the surrounding mountain landscape. All rooms feature WiFi, and the characteristic Tyrolean aesthetic extends throughout the accommodation.
The in-house restaurant is among the most reliable dining options in central Kitzbühel, offering a menu grounded in Tyrolean and Austrian culinary tradition. Local specialties including Tiroler Gröstl, Kasnocken, and slow-roasted mountain game feature alongside broader Austrian classics, with a wine selection to complement the kitchen's output. Breakfast — served as a generous spread of regional cold cuts, dairy products, fresh breads, and hot dishes — is a satisfying start to a day on the slopes or the hiking trails.
The rooftop terrace is one of the hotel's most celebrated assets, providing a panoramic vantage point above the pedestrian zone with unobstructed views over Kitzbühel's terracotta rooftops to the encircling Tyrolean peaks, including the Hahnenkamm massif. It is particularly popular during the summer months and in the fine spring weather that precedes the main skiing season. A wellness area with sauna provides post-activity recovery facilities.
The Hahnenkamm gondola base station — departure point for the world-famous Hahnenkamm downhill course and the wider Kitzbüheler Alpen ski network covering more than 200 kilometres of piste — is within comfortable walking distance of the hotel. This proximity makes the Post one of the most practically located hotels in Kitzbühel for ski visitors, while the pedestrian zone setting ensures that the dining, nightlife, and cultural life of the old town are immediately accessible. Service at the hotel is attentive and experienced, with staff well-versed in the seasonal rhythms of a resort town that hosts international visitors year-round, from the Hahnenkamm race week in January to the summer hiking season on the Kitzbüheler Horn.
