From Arlberg to the Kitzbühel Alps, from Außerfern to Osttirol: the well-being of their guests is paramount to Tirol’s accommodation providers. Consequently, in addition to newly opened accommodation in summer 2024, investments will also be made in the renovation and expansion of the predominantly familyrun businesses. Here, an overview of the latest new openings and renovations:
Latest news from the Tirolean hotel industry
Familienresort Buchau · Achensee Beautifully ensconced between the mountain peaks of the Rofan and Karwendel mountains and Lake Achensee, Familienresort Buchau is set to open a new wellness area with infinity pool and sun deck in May 2024. The children’s water world and private beach directly on the shore of Lake Achensee are also being expanded. Guests will be able to look forward to relaxing in spherical loungers and comfy recliners by the lake. New suites, above all the exclusive penthouse suite, will also ensure future magical holiday moments.
Walchsee Lakeside · Kaiserwinkl Lake Walchsee in Kaiserwinkl is set to welcome a superb new hotel. Walchsee Aktivresort is adding 22 luxurious suites with the highest level of comfort, exclusive facilities and a direct location on the lake with its Lakeside annexe.

The “Move & Relax” programme offers a varied exercise programme in nature and in the resort, as well as a relaxing relaxation programme.
Henri Hotel · Kitzbühel 84 rooms in seven categories, from Petite Cabinets to XL Studios, are accommodated in the new Henri Hotel in the immediate vicinity of Kitzbühel railway station.

Guests can also relax in the small Henri Spa & Gym with sauna, steam bath, indoor pool and gym after a day in the Kitzbühel mountains.
Posthotel Lechtal · Lechtal New name, new look. From summer 2024, the traditional Hotel Neue Post in Holzgau will be transformed into the fully renovated Posthotel Lechtal. Regardless of whether you prefer small and cosy, or exclusive with unique panoramic views: the host family Hammerle cares deeply about the well-being of their guests, which is why the rooms have been extensively renovated and modernised. Relax in the alpine spa with sauna, steam bath, infrared cabin and heated bench with Kneipp pool. What hasn’t changed, however, is the high quality cuisine of the hotel’s own restaurant, which is a member of the Tiroler Wirtshäuser and Naturparkwirte Lechtal-Reutte group.
Hotel Föhrenhof · Lechtal The family-run Föhrenhof is centrally located in the Tirolean Lech Nature Park region and has been extensively renovated and extended in recent months. From summer 2024, guests can look forward to modern rooms in the accustomed welcoming atmosphere and choose between comfortable rooms or spacious suites in Tirolean country house style. The spa area with sauna, infrared loungers, steam bath and heated bench is available to all guests, along with the restaurant serving regional and seasonal specialities.

The Summit Spa is also new in summer 2024, where you can indulge in the essential pleasures of relaxation across 2,000 m² – including an infinity pool with summit views and a whirlpool with its own sun terrace. Culinary delights await guests at Das Central, run by the Falkner family, with daily new creations from the restaurant kitchen, which has been awarded three toques.
Aqua Dome – Tirol Thermal Spa Längenfeld · Ötztal The popular Aqua Dome in the Tyrolean Ötztal celebrates its 20th birthday in 2024 – and is using this as an opportunity to invest in major refurbishments of the restaurant and bar. The lobby, bar and fireside lounge have been given a whole new look and feel to coincide with the new summer season, as has the entire hotel catering area. Some four million euros were invested, and the five restaurant areas are now a beautiful blend of the natural surroundings outside and a contemporary ambience inside. Each area is designed with a different colour scheme and materials, and guests can indulge in culinary delights in the “Green Meadow”, the alpine “Enzian” or the typical Ötztal “Cranberry”.
Hotel Engel · Tannheimer Tal A more natural and inviting hotel for guests – is the focal point of Hotel Engel in the Tannheimer Tal in 2024. A comprehensive renovation of the Aggenstein and Landhaus rooms (a total of 24 out of 98 rooms) is planned, as well as refurbishment of the hotel bar and expansion of the lounging facilities in the spa. Guests can therefore look forward to a new, even more heavenly holiday feeling from mid-June 2024.
Der Lermooser · Tiroler Zugspitz Arena Eight rooms with 26 beds, a modern communal kitchen, a welcoming waiting room and a kiosk that is also open to nonresidents – all this and more can be found under the roof of a listed railway station in the small village of Lermoos in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. The LERMOOSER is somewhere between a hotel and a bed & breakfast, in a homely and comfortable style that accommodates singles and families alike. All this can be found at the foot of Mount Zugspitze, in the middle of a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers.
