Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol

Kitzbühel, Austria — Europe

8.7Editorial score

Editorial research. Profiled through in-depth editorial research; Browntravels has not yet stayed at this property. How we review

A contemporary Alpine flagship in Jochberg outside Kitzbühel, built around one of the Tyrol's largest hotel spas and direct lift access.

Kempinski Hotel Das Tirol sits in Jochberg, a quiet village a few kilometres up the valley from Kitzbühel proper, positioned directly opposite a gondola into the vast KitzSki area. That geography defines its appeal: guests trade the Hahnenkamm town buzz for doorstep lift access, valley views and a hotel purpose-built for mountain holidays rather than converted from a historic shell.

The architecture takes the Tyrolean vocabulary—timber, stone, pitched roofs—and scales it generously, with a lofty lobby fireplace, broad corridors and rooms that run larger than the regional norm, most with balconies facing the peaks. Families are well looked after, with a dedicated kids' club and family suites, while the ski concierge handles fittings and passes so mornings run smoothly.

The spa is the headline act: several thousand square metres of pools, saunas and quiet rooms, split into family and adults-only zones, ranking among the largest in the Austrian Alps. Dining spans an Alpine-Mediterranean main restaurant, a steakhouse and fondue evenings, with Kitzbühel's restaurants and nightlife a short drive or ski-bus away. As a base for serious skiing and serious spa recovery, it makes a strong Tyrolean case.

Why stay here

  • Gondola into the KitzSki area directly opposite the hotel
  • One of the largest spas in the Austrian Alps with adults-only zones
  • Generously sized rooms with mountain-view balconies
  • Strong family facilities including a kids' club

Things to consider

  • Jochberg village is quiet; Kitzbühel's centre requires a drive
  • Contemporary chain polish rather than historic Alpine character

Rooms & Suites

Around 150 rooms and suites in warm contemporary Tyrolean style, most with balconies and many configured for families.

Dining

An Alpine-Mediterranean main restaurant, a steak-focused grill and traditional fondue nights, plus a fire-lit lobby bar.

Spa & Wellness

A vast multi-level spa with indoor pools, extensive sauna world, family and adults-only areas and Alpine treatment rituals.

The Browntravels Verdict

The Kitzbühel area's best blend of lift-side convenience and large-scale spa—ideal for families and mileage-hungry skiers.
