Top 8 best places to stay in Innsbruck

Innsbruck, as the capital of Tyrol in Austria, enjoys a privileged location at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. It is surrounded by both the Karwendel massif to the north and the central Alps (Patscherkofel) to the south, giving it an idyllic setting. A major tourist and sports centre (the town hosts ski competitions in winter), it attracts thousands of visitors every year, from students and fans of Baroque art to thrill-seeking mountaineers.

Depending on your profile, your desires and your budget, you'll find a wide range of accommodation. In summer, you can enjoy hiking and swimming (in the pool or lake), while in winter you can enjoy the pleasures of the snow and the Christmas markets, which are renowned for their quality in Innsbruck! Whether you're looking for a wellness break, a youth hostel, or an immersion in nature, here's our best selection!
