Sometimes just looking out the window is enough to see that you've arrived. High above Ellmau, on a sunny plateau with an unobstructed view of the imposing Wilder Kaiser massif, is the Kaiserhof — a 5-star superior hotel that combines alpine elegance with warm hospitality. Here, time seems to pass more slowly as nature presents itself in all its glory.
The rooms and suites at Kaiserhof Ellmau are retreats with character. High-quality materials such as wood, natural stone and fine fabrics create a warm, unobtrusive atmosphere. Many rooms offer direct views of the imposing Kaiser Mountains through spacious windows or private balconies — a panorama that is just as impressive in the morning as at sunset. The “Opal Wilder Kaiser” suite stands out in particular, which, in addition to design and comfort, impresses with an unobstructed panoramic view. You don't just live here — you breathe mountain air, space and peace.
Alpine down-to-earth meets creative sophistication in the multi-award-winning “Culinary 2.0”. Chef Günter Lampert and his team consistently use fresh, regional ingredients, many of them organic. The menus change seasonally and are finely coordinated — from traditional Tyrolean specialities to modern interpretations. The in-house “Walk of Wine” offers an impressive selection of wines, expertly accompanied by experienced sommeliers. Every evening in the restaurant is an experience for all senses — with a view of the Wilder Kaiser as a silent companion.

The “SPA PurPur” wellness area is a place of conscious retreat. The panoramic indoor pool with views of the mountains invites you to dive in gently, and the organic natural swimming lake provides invigorating freshness in summer. A real highlight is the adults-only spa tower with the 18-meter long infinity pool on the roof — swimming with an unobstructed view of the Kaiser Mountains is not a promise, but a reality. Various saunas, steam rooms and relaxation rooms with open fires provide a pleasant change of pace. Treatments with natural cosmetics complete the relaxation experience.
The Kaiserhof's location offers ideal conditions for an active holiday at any time of the year. In summer, numerous hiking and cycling trails right outside the door invite you to explore nature — from gentle alpine trails to challenging mountain trails. In winter, the hotel is located directly on the slopes of SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser — Brixental, one of Austria's largest ski areas. Golfers will also find ideal conditions with the nearby 27-hole course. If you like it quieter, enjoy walks or a carriage ride through the snow-covered winter landscape.
Sustainability is more than just a buzzword at Kaiserhof. The electricity comes from renewable sources, heat is recovered, and e-charging stations are available to guests. Regional products are preferred in the kitchen — at least 80% of the ingredients come from the surrounding area, many of them organic. For this commitment, the hotel was awarded the title of “Sustainable Hospitality” in 2024. A house that shows how comfort and responsibility can be combined in a meaningful way.
Kaiserhof Ellmau harmoniously combines alpine tradition with contemporary design.

The architecture not only reflects the environment, but also creates spaces that enable retreat, clarity and openness in equal measure.
The Kaiserhof in Ellmau is a place that harmoniously combines luxury and nature. Whether in the stylishly furnished rooms, enjoying culinary delights or relaxing in the spacious wellness area — every guest will find their personal moment of wellbeing here. A stay that will be remembered and makes you want to return soon.
