The A-Rosa in Kitzbuhel is a well maintained, expansive property with good facilities and service, though it is expensive and at least 15-20 walk from the town centre.
Pros
- Expansive common areas including large bar area with sushi lounge
- Excellent spa area with multiple types of sauna, steamroom etc.
- Shuttle service to take you to the main ski lift and back
- Good size rooms with well appointed bathrooms
- Impressive buffet breakfast
- Great, friendly service, for example from the concierge to very quickly purchase ski passes
- InterSport shop on site made it easy to rent and return ski equipment
Cons
- The hotel is situated about 15-20mins walk from the town centre and the shuttle service only runs from 8am until 5pm which means that getting to / from dinner in town requires either a walk or a taxi
- The rooms have no air conditioning and our room was overly hot. The only option to have a cooler room is to turn off the radiators and open the balcony door meaning it was very difficult to get an appropriate temperature for sleeping
- In some areas the service provision is not 5 star - we we left to park our own car with no valet offered
Overall we had a lovely stay at the A-Rosa but felt that ~Eur 700-800 per night (including spa access and breakfast buffet) was on the expensive side for the experience we had, particularly given the out-of-town location
