Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg · EderdörflFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Jochberg and chose one: a luxury hotel of 156 rooms right on the piste – with two room categories, many suites and a largest unit of 520 square metres. What that means for booking is below.Our choice for Jochberg is the Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg on Kitzbüheler Strasse, in the hamlet of Ederdörfl, right on the piste. In our ranking it stands at 4.8 out of 5, and a night starts at 255 euros. The hotel belongs to GHA Discovery.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the largest hotel in the Kitzbühel Alps offering ski-in and ski-out: 156 rooms and suites, in winter skis on at the door and straight into the 216 kilometres of piste of KitzSki, in summer the hiking trails from the hotel. The spa has 3,600 square metres, three pools – heated indoors and out –, three saunas and twelve treatment rooms. Dinner is at Steinberg, in the Alpenglück Stube and at Sra Bua with cooking from around the world on a Tyrolean base. Our recommended category is called Deluxe Mountain View.
Two rooms, nine suites – and the largest has 520 square metres.
The rooms: 36 square metres in the Deluxe to the mountain and in the Superior to the village. Above them only suites: 44 in the Classic Suite, 55 and 70 in two Deluxe Suites, 88 in the Family Suite, 105 in the Alpen Suite, 150 in the Jochberg Suite, 200 in the Tirol Suite and 520 in the Penthouse Suite – plus the Chalet Suite. Eleven categories – and the Penthouse Suite is among the largest suites we offer anywhere.
That means: our recommended Deluxe Mountain View is the entry point at 36 – and it faces the mountain, as seven of eleven categories do here. The four others face the village. Anyone wanting the mountains watches for the word Mountain: Superior, Family, Alpen and Jochberg Suite do not carry it.
Then the package: breakfast, 100 US dollars of credit for food and drink, GHA Discovery points, early check-in and late check-out. The credit applies in the restaurants and bars, not in the spa. And the booking is binding: the category you book is the one you sleep in.
Our advice: Book the category you want, because it will not become another. For the mountain the Deluxe at 36 will do; anyone wanting space takes the Classic Suite at 44 to the mountain or the Family Suite at 88 – and knows that it faces the village. Tell our travel advisors which view you want, so the direction is settled before you book.
The Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg stands at Kitzbüheler Strasse 48 in Jochberg, in the hamlet of Ederdörfl – seven kilometres from Kitzbühel, nine from the Pass Thurn, 63 from Salzburg airport and 77 from Innsbruck.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone wanting to ski Kitzbühel without sleeping in Kitzbühel – and for anyone who in summer would like to see the mountains from the spa.
What lies within reach: the Wagstättbahn, Jochberg’s valley station into the ski area, reachable on skis; Kitzbühel with the old town, the arcades and the Hahnenkamm, ten minutes; and the Pass Thurn with the Resterhöhe and the trails into the Pinzgau, a quarter of an hour.
For orientation: Kitzbühel station lies on the Innsbruck–Salzburg line; to Salzburg and its airport a good hour, to Innsbruck likewise, to Munich an hour and a half. In Jochberg one skis or drives; the bus to Kitzbühel stops outside the hotel.
The Kempinski Das Tirol Jochberg has eleven categories, nine of them suites.
The rooms: 36 square metres in the Deluxe to the mountain – our recommended category – and 36 in the Superior to the village.
The suites: 44 in the Classic Suite, 55 and 70 in the Deluxe Suites, 200 in the Tirol Suite and 520 in the Penthouse Suite, all to the mountain; 88 in the Family Suite, 105 in the Alpen Suite and 150 in the Jochberg Suite to the village; plus the Chalet Suite to the mountain without an area.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is the Kitzbühel Alps – seven of eleven categories face them. The four others face the village.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, 100 US dollars of hotel credit for food and drink, GHA Discovery points and early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.
A night at the luxury hotel in Jochberg starts at 255 euros.
The suitespot benefits apply here from the first night. Included are: breakfast for two, 100 US dollars of hotel credit for food and drink, GHA Discovery points and early check-in and late check-out.
When it is loveliest: from December to March, when the piste lies at the door, and from July to September, when the alpine huts are open and the outdoor pool mirrors the mountain.
What belongs to Kitzbühel: the Hahnenkamm races. One weekend in January, and the whole region is booked out – Jochberg included. That is not a warning but the calendar: anyone coming then comes for it and books a year ahead. And the shoulder season: in April and November the lifts are closed and the valley quiet.
When to ask early: for the Hahnenkamm weekend, at Christmas and New Year and in the carnival holidays – and for the large suites in any winter.
How long to stay: three nights in winter for three ski days – two in summer for mountain, spa and Kitzbühel.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
The Kitzbühel Alps are the grass mountains between the Wilder Kaiser and the Hohe Tauern: no rock faces, but pastures up to the summit, which makes them a ski area in winter and a hiking area in summer. Kitzbühel has been their capital since 1893, when Franz Reisch strapped on Austria’s first skis here.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThree things belong to it. First the Hahnenkamm: the Streif, the most famous downhill in the world, which one can ski oneself in winter outside the race – the Mausefalle excepted. Second the Kitzbüheler Horn: the mountain opposite, 1,996 metres, with the alpine flower garden at the top and the view of the Wilder Kaiser. Third the Pass Thurn: the road into the Pinzgau, with the Krimml waterfalls an hour on, the highest in Europe.
The package at this hotel is breakfast, credit, points and check-in and check-out.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the category with the mountain view, for the reason stated above, the ski pass for KitzSki and the table at Sra Bua – because 156 rooms have the same idea in the evening.
The most widely represented is GHA Discovery. Booking through suitespot costs you neither points nor an elite night: the rate settles as a direct rate and your status is still recognised. Here is what is available in Jochberg:
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
