Our partner hotel:
Golf & Country Club Hotel Margarethenhof Tegernsee
A hotel with history
Already in 1582, the first owner of Bichlstrasse no. 5, a man named Rudolf Braun, was mentioned in the old archives of Kitzbuehel.
But an even older part of the hotel can be found in the wine cellar, which walls date from the 15th century. They were part of the medieval mural and warded off the attacks of Kitzbuehel´s enemies.
The "Bichlwirt"
Throughout the course of history the owners changed several times. An engraving dated 1850 already shows the "Bichlwirt": The former townhouse was transformed to an inn, which is said to be one of the oldest in Kitzbuehel.
From an inn to a hotel
An important year was 1893, when the ski sport was born. Thanks to Franz Reisch, the "father of skiing", more and more tourists travelled to Kitzbuehel for skiing. The small"Bichlwirt" inn was enlarged by modern hotel rooms and was run as the hotel "Weisses Roessl" (german for "white horse").
The old coaching inn
The name "Weisses Rössl" should remind of the old coaching inn, where the horse of the coaches were changed on the way from Salzburg to Innsbruck.
The new 5-star hotel
Throughout its existance, the Weisses Roessl has been a popular meeting point for artists, business people, the aristocracy and politicians.
From the year 1999 to 2000 the hotel was transformed from a traditional 4-star hotel to a leading 5-star luxury hotel with a new annex, the "Residence", which now hosts spacious hotel rooms, exclusive suites and the spa area.
