Why Legends? A few years ago we have decided to dedicade one room to our great-grandfather FRANZ REISCH to honor his legacy. He is THE Legend of our hotel and of Kitzbühel and we admire his courage and pioneer thinking. So we thought that Kitzbühel has so many beautiful and different great personalities and therefore we dedicated all of our rooms to this wonderful people. The next idea were legendary places and events such as the Streif (ski race), the beautiful lake Schwarzsee or the tennis tournament. We tell their stories so they will live on and you can walk in ther foot steps. Simply legendary!
