Sporthotel Igls

Sporthotel Igls is a four-star resort hotel at Hilberstraße 17 in Igls, a village district of Innsbruck on a sunny plateau south-east of the city, in the Tyrol region of Austria. Igls sits beneath the Patscherkofel, the local mountain reached by the Patscherkofelbahn cable car, and it is known for the Olympic bobsleigh and luge track used in the 1964 and 1976 Winter Games, for forest trails and for a village centre with traditional inns. The hotel lies in a mountain setting, with the Altstadt and the Goldenes Dachl roughly 6 to 7 km north, reachable by the Tram 6 line (the Igler Bahn) and by bus in around 20 minutes. The atmosphere is that of an alpine sport and wellness resort rather than an urban hotel. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, with prices of roughly €180 to €340 per night for a double depending on season, within the luxury category. Listed amenities include a spa, a pool, a restaurant, a fitness area and Wi-Fi, so guests can swim, use the wellness area and dine on site after skiing or hiking. The restaurant serves breakfast and meals with Tyrolean and Austrian dishes, and spa opening hours and treatments should be confirmed with the hotel. The service character is resort-style, suited to couples, active travellers and families who want a quiet village base with wellness facilities within reach of the city. Winter guests use the Patscherkofel ski area and ski buses, and summer guests use hiking and mountain biking trails from the village. Because Igls is outside the centre, evenings in the old town require the tram or a taxi, and the last services should be checked. Rates rise in ski season, at Christmas and during summer peaks, so early booking is advisable.
