Eckart Buss, Managing Director of HENRI Hotels, is pleased: “We are convinced that the stylish casualness of HENRI is an excellent fit for Kitzbühel. When redesigning the rooms of our country house, we were guided by Tyrolean history, the desire for sustainability and, of course, the needs of discerning holiday guests. Whether in winter or summer: you can now have a relaxed holiday here in the middle of a wonderful mountain world.”
“With a well thought-out, sustainable renovation and a fresh concept in alpine design, we are making the HENRI fit for the future. It is an ideal addition to our JP Hospitality Investors Club portfolio, where we are reviving unique hotel properties in good locations in top destinations with a new operator and contemporary design.”

A feel-good place in the heart of Kitzbühel
In the heart of the rustic Alpine town of Kitzbühel, located on the picturesque waterfront and just a few steps away from the train station and the Hahnenkamm and Hornbahn cable cars, the HENRI Country House Kitzbühel is celebrating the resurrection of one of the oldest hotels on the site. The former Hotel Klauser became the HENRI Country House Kitzbühel as part of a comprehensive redesign.
Where wealthy artists and free spirits once stayed, HENRI’s boutique hotel now welcomes its first guests and builds on its great past with charm and originality. In the 84 rooms, the lovingly designed salons and lounges, 150 years of Tyrolean hospitality come to life, combined with contemporary casualness à la HENRI. The new HENRI SPA & GYM attracts today’s winter sports enthusiasts and summer visitors with a spacious indoor pool, organic sauna, steam bath, gym and sun terrace. The living area with HENRI kitchen, the “Klausner-Stube”, the “Spiegelsaal” and the “Red Salon” forms the heart of the house and invites you to socialize from breakfast to the end at the bar.
The three historically grown parts of the hotel were redesigned with sensitivity in order to harmoniously combine history and the present. The traditional “Kaiser” house takes guests back to around 1900 and combines the elegance of the Belle Époque with the rustic cosiness of a Tyrolean inn. The “Streif” house, a post-war extension, carries the spirit of the Tyrolean 1950s. Cheerful fabrics and midcentury furniture characterize the ambience here and add a charming retro touch. The youngest part of the building, the “Ache” house, was built in the 2000s and borders the mountain river of the same name.
