Do we have to stay at the Hotel Kitzhof?Do we have to stay at the Hotel Kitzhof?
Answer
No silly, not at all. Kitzbühel offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. Since it’s not peak season (as Kitzbühel is more of a winter sports destination), you'll find availability. Our only suggestion is to use Google Maps to check the distance from your accommodation of choice to the Hotel Kitzhof or The Londoner, which is considered the unofficial center of Kitzbühel. This will help you get a better idea of how far it is to walk, which we highly recommend over a drive.
