The hotel

“Not even a hostel has rooms like these, the walls were a dirty mess, and all you could see from the window were pigeon droppings,” was an earnest review left on Booking.com some years ago – ouch. And yet that didn’t stop Thomas and Brigitte from purchasing the ancient Weisses Kreuz in 2017. The entrepreneur and hostess with the mostess had fallen under the spell of the 1465-built building and its ancient walls. They put their heart and soul into welcoming guests for a good two years without carrying out any structural work. However, the criticism about the lack of comfort – while expressed with creative turns of phrases – started to slowly weigh down on them. The time had come to change the narrative: Thomas and Brigitte welcome unique, zany people to a crossroads between the old and new since summer 2021. A splash of Baroque opulence tempered by clear, modern lines for a shocking yet pleasingly chic effect. Antiquity revisited in the beating heart of Innsbruck.

Chic rooms? Check. An amazing bar? Check. What else can we offer guests? Why, the answer is amazing experiences and products, of course. How about we start with a refreshing Austrian “Tirol Kola” rather than a Coca Cola – don’t worry, it won’t bite and it’s just as prickly and refreshing as its global counterpart. We want international guests to feel at home while also providing them with an all-round local experience, from food to art, in our chic hotel in downtown Innsbruck. #tirolrocks

This timeless building is home to 48 new rooms and suites. We’ve called them chambers, the old English word for rooms, because we want to preserve as many historical elements as possible throughout the hotel. Uniqueness is our calling card, and the same applies to the chambers: no two rooms are the same. (Working on an ancient building did not help our designers and architects – sorry about that! But that right corner is a unique rarity!) A phantasmagoria of colours, patios, balconies – or not. Book yourself a once-in-a-lifetime treat in the “Mozart Suite” and its pool table but the best thing about the room is that the wunderkind really slept here in 1769! You can also choose the “Golden Roof” suite boasting a view over the actual Golden Roof – baroque, chic, and a smattering of cliches too, as you can see. The “Super Patio” suite opens out onto a pocket of green oasis in the heart of Innsbruck’s historical city centre. Or maybe “Stuben Suite” ? - an unique mix between history and modernity. From golden opulence to spartan rooms: the “Besenkammer” is for guests who only need the bare necessities, or even less. After all, we’re “chic-shock-baroque”, remember?

Out with the old, in with the new. But what if we want to keep some of the old? As a cheeky homage to the numerous reviews given to our old rooms (The room is miniscule and absolutely horrid) we created the “Besenkammer”. A closet of sorts (13 m ²) with none of the pomp, ceremony, and grandeur found in the other rooms.

Please note, that our hotel is located in the pedestrian area. You can load and unload your luggage between 06:00 and 10:30 am. Afterwards only cabs are allowed to enter the pedestrian zone. However parking is available at a reduced rate of 15,00€ per day in the old town parking lot only a few minutes’ walk away from the hotel. The adress is: Innrain 4, 6020 Innsbruck. A reservation in advance is not necessary. You simply pull a ticket at the entrance and then come to us with it. The payment will be made in the hotel. Good to know: the parking garage does not have an elevator.

If the “old town parking lot“ is full, you can drive in the following nearby garages (around 20 € for 24h): 

• Congress garage parking - Rennweg 3 
• City Hall Garage - Adolf-Pichler-Platz 1
• InnenStadtgarage - Kaiserjägerstraße 1
• Kaufhaus Tyrol Garage - Wilhelm-Greil-Strasse 10
