The house
The Weisses Kreuz occupies a house in Innsbruck's old town that has been a meeting place since 1465, on the main street, the Herzog-Friedrich-Straße, less than 100 metres from the Golden Roof. The hotel says that in 1769 the young Mozart stayed here; the room where he slept is now the Mozart Suite. The current owners bought the building in 2017 and reopened it renovated in summer 2021.
It has four stars and 48 rooms, all different: from the small "Besenkammer" to suites with views of the Golden Roof. The life of the hotel is on the sixth floor: reception, open 24 hours, breakfast and the bar are there. There is a lift.
Rooms, breakfast and bar
Breakfast is served every day from 7:00 to 10:00. It is not an enormous buffet: it changes daily, with eggs made to order, barista coffee and products from local farms, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options if you let them know beforehand. The website does not publish room prices: you see them in its booking engine with your dates.
At the very top is the Blaue Brigitte, a blue bar under the roof with cocktails with and without alcohol. You don't book: you go up and sit down.
Some rooms have a sofa bed for one adult or two small children, with a supplement and always letting them know beforehand. A cot costs €40. Animals are not allowed.
Getting there and parking
From the main station it is about 20 minutes on foot. If you have a suitcase, tram 5 drops you at Anichstraße/Rathausgalerien, five minutes away. From the airport, the F bus reaches the centre in about 15 minutes without changing. A taxi can reach the door at any hour.
By car you can only enter the old town from 6:00 to 10:30, to load and unload in front of the hotel. After that, the hotel sends you to the Altstadtgarage, at Innrain 4, about 400 metres away: you take a ticket on entering and pay at reception a rate of €15 a day. That garage has no lift or chargers; for an electric car there are points at the Rathausgarage, five minutes away.
From here you have everything on foot: the Nordkette funicular station is five minutes away and the Gasthaus Goldenes Dachl and the Strudel-Café Kröll, on the Hofgasse, two.
