Despite being brand new to this winter, the grand Hotel Schwarzer Adler in Innsbruck actually has an impressive 500 years of history under its wing.
Located just outside Innsbruck’s old town, the boutique Schwarzer Adler is in a great spot for exploring the city’s cultural wonders as well as the slopes on the surrounding mountains. The nearest ski area is only 7 minutes’ walk away, too, so you don’t have to worry about missing the ski bus in the mornings.
The ornate maroon building doesn’t just have a unique exterior, either. None of the 40 bedrooms inside its walls resembles another, with some rooms embodying a rustic feel, while others are more modern in design. Some of its smaller rooms are even furnished in a Swarovski design.
The Schwarzer Adler, once a haven to emperors, kings and aristocrats, retains many of its traditional features like its medieval door frames and dining rooms. The restaurant, made up of three ‘parlours’ – the Alderstube, Jägerstube and Aquin – is known for its gourmet cuisine and historic wood-panelled spaces. The Alderstube parlour is one of the oldest rooms in the hotel, while the Arquin parlour is known for its more modern influences, exhibiting contemporary works by local artists.
As well as the iconic eatery, the hotel is home to Pfiffbar – a charming bar with typical American flair. Locals and guests come down here to chill out to music with a cocktail or beer in hand. You’ll also love the rooftop terrace – another perfect place for an evening drink – which afford spectacular views across Innsbruck and the mountains.
