With its Art Nouveau-style architecture, the Erika Boutique Hotel wouldn’t look out of place in a fairy tale – picture Greek columns, elaborate ironwork and decorative stone carvings. Opened in 1897, it’s one of Kitzbühel’s oldest hotels, but inside you’ll find all the facilities you’d need for a luxuriously modern 5-star experience.
The location is spot on too. It’s a 5-minute walk to the resort centre, and the Kitzbüheler Horn cable car is just a few minutes further on. If you don’t fancy walking, the hotel runs a free shuttle service, so getting to a from the slopes couldn’t be easier. And the building itself is set within spacious gardens – just right if you’re after peaceful winter retreat.
After a day on the slopes head to the Green House lounge bar for a leisurely après. And if you need a little pampering, the hotel wellness and spa will tick all the boxes – take a dip in a large pool, warm up in one of the saunas or treat yourself to a luxurious massage.
The food is another highlight here. In the evening, head to the hotel restaurant, RIKS, for five courses of local specialities and international favourites. And whether it’s a hearty meat stew or delicate fruit-filled pastry, only the best local, organic ingredients are used.
The décor inside has an up-to-date feel while managing to hold on to its traditional roots, with cosy cocktail chairs and carved wooden fireplaces dotted throughout. Upstairs, the bedrooms are a restful place to end the day, with natural tones and soft, velvety fabrics used in the furnishings. Slip between crisp sheets and wake refreshed for another day in the mountains.

Tourist Tax
In some resorts, you’ll need to pay a small fee called a ‘tourist tax' at your accommodation, either when you check in or check out.
These taxes can change at short notice, so it’s always worth checking the latest details before you travel.
Good to know: Not all accommodation accepts card payments for taxes, so you may need to pay in cash instead. For some countries, tourist taxes are calculated based on an accommodation's official rating, which can be different to its rating on our/the operators site.
