Fodor's Expert Review Tennerhof

Griesenauweg 26, Kitzbühel, Tirol, A-6370, Austria Fodor's Choice

Adored by the rich and famous, from the Duke of Windsor to Kirk Douglas, this Alpine Shangri-la is at once rustic and glamorous, with gold chandeliers hung over country cupboards and silk-covered sofas next to shuttered windows. The 400-year-old former farmhouse has the feel of a country mansion and hunting lodge—you might even sleep in the hand-painted bed of the original owner. The bedrooms are all different, some with ceramic stoves or even open fireplaces, while there are also three luxury chalets available. The public rooms are cozy and inviting, and the spa has an indoor and outdoor pool. Breakfast and gourmet dinners are served either on the terrace or in the atmospheric parlors. If you wish, you can even milk the hotel's own cows for your breakfast milk.
