Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Innsbruck

16 stays · 6 aparthotels and 10 serviced apartments

Innsbruck is an Alpine city with mountains rising directly above its streets, which is why aparthotels and serviced apartments work well here. Ski trips and summer hiking holidays usually run for several days or a week, and a kitchen for breakfast, space to dry boots and gear and a separate living area for a family or group are more useful than a hotel lobby. Business and university visits benefit from the same setup.

The Altstadt is Innsbruck's old town. Wikivoyage calls the Golden Roof the most famous landmark of the city, with 2,657 fire-gilded copper tiles, and lists the Old Town and Maria-Theresien-Straße among the central pedestrian shopping areas. Staying here keeps the sights and shops within walking range.

Wikipedia says Hötting is the most populous of Innsbruck's nine boroughs. Together with Mariahilf, it lies on the north bank of the Inn below the Nordkette.

A base here keeps you closer to the Nordkette.

When to visit Innsbruck

Wikipedia describes a humid continental climate, with cold, snowy winters and variable, unpredictable summers. It also mentions the foehn wind, which can bring pronounced thaws even in the middle of the season. Innsbruck hosted the Winter Olympic Games twice, the Winter Paralympics twice and the Winter Youth Olympics, and the mountains around it are the main reason to visit in winter.

Wikipedia says Innsbruck is a base for skiing in winter and for ski-jumping and mountaineering in summer, with the Nordkette served by a cable car. The Nordkette's official site lists both summer and winter operations and an events calendar for the mountain.

Wikipedia places the city where the Inn River meets the Wipp Valley, with the Nordkette range to the north and Patscherkofel to the south. This page covers the main districts, how to reach the airport and move around, tips for staying longer and what the seasons are like.
