A fashionable mountain hideaway in Kitzbühel, Grand Tirolia Golf & Ski Resort has all the traditional trimmings one expects, plus a mix of intriguing design and culinary elements that add new dimensions of awe.

The large wooden beamed ceilings you'd hope for are here, as is the marvelous skiing from December to April from the Hahnenkamm piste all the way down to the valley. Don't forget the spring and summer months, where Nordic hiking and golf at Eichenhiem fill sunny days. Actually, golf is on the menu 365 days a year - as long as you dress for it. That said; it's the unexpected elements that really turn up the corners of smiles. Nine different categories of rooms are furnished with a mix of rustic elements, plus others ripped directly from the pages of contemporary interior design magazines.

Chefs wield their tools like possessed artists in the casual Golf Bistro, Restaurant – Petit Tyrolia, and Hotel Restaurant. Nights of banter are fueled at both the Lobby bar, and Wine Island - which is exactly as stunning as it sounds.

In Kitzbühel, the living is good. Golf, skiing, a tradition of flavor-forward food, and anticipatory service above all are commonplace here. Parachute into this little dream at Grand Tirolia Golf & Ski Resort, a luxury Austrian ski hotel.
