Relais & Châteaux Hotel Tennerhof
Check rates & availability on tennerhof.comAn intimate 5-star Relais & Châteaux property in the heart of Kitzbühel with only 39 rooms. The Tennerhof is renowned for its exceptional cuisine — with over 30 years of award recognition — its beautiful garden, outdoor heated pool, and charming Tyrolean-style interiors. One of the most romantic hotels in the Alps.
Hotel Tennerhof is a five-star Relais & Châteaux property in Kitzbühel, one of Austria's most celebrated Alpine resort towns in Tyrol. Situated at Griesenauweg 26 on a gentle south-facing hillside, the hotel is approximately ten minutes on foot from the pedestrian heart of Kitzbühel and commands views of the Wilder Kaiser and Kitzbüheler Horn mountain ranges. The main Kitzbühel gondola and the famous Hahnenkamm downhill course are accessible within the ski area approximately 1.5 kilometres from the property. The Tennerhof has been in family ownership since 1929, a continuity rare among Alpine luxury hotels and central to its character as a Relais & Châteaux member. With only 39 rooms and suites, the property operates at the intimate scale the collection specifically values. The architecture is authentic Tyrolean farmhouse style: low rooflines, generous overhanging eaves, painted exterior panels, and rustic wood interiors offset with carefully chosen antique pieces. In summer the south-facing garden — one of Kitzbühel's finest private outdoor spaces — draws guests for afternoon coffee and lawn activities. A heated outdoor pool occupies a terrace with panoramic mountain views. Dining at the Tennerhof is a primary draw; the restaurant has maintained continuous recognition in leading Austrian guides for over 30 years, producing sophisticated Austrian-Alpine cuisine informed by French technique, with herbs from the hotel's kitchen garden and products from established Tyrolean suppliers. The wine cellar contains an extensive Austrian collection alongside French and Italian bottles. A spa offers sauna, steam bath, and massage treatments. The concierge team arranges ski lessons, mountain guides, helicopter excursions, and private dining. Rates range from approximately EUR 380 to EUR 900 per night.
