We had arrived on a really early flight however had been in a position to depart our baggage, go and discover town, and verify in to our room once we returned later.
The room
The lodge’s 79 rooms are positioned on the uppermost flooring of the constructing. We’re in rooms 712 and 716 – the Panorama Basic class – on the seventh flooring. If ever a lodge room was designed to remind you that you simply’re within the Alps, that is it. ADLERS’ rooms are an ode to their environment, with floor-to-ceiling home windows that body Innsbruck like a dwelling postcard.
Waking as much as the sight of the Nordkette mountain vary is a humbling expertise – the type that makes you actually admire the pure fantastic thing about town’s environment.

Not like within the UK, the place wiring rules are extra restrictive, it’s widespread in lots of European nations, together with Austria, to have sockets within the toilet and right here isn’t any exception.
ADLERS-branded physique lotion and liquid hand cleaning soap flank both aspect of the basin. A hairdryer and slippers are neatly positioned on the shelf under, and robes can be found on request must you want to head to the spa.
The rainfall bathe is especially invigorating – one of the vital highly effective I’ve encountered in our many lodge stays world wide. Hair and physique shampoo from Pure Cures, a premium physique care line developed by ADA Cosmetics in neighbouring Germany, is conveniently wall-mounted throughout the bathe.

The star of ADLERS’ amenities is, undoubtedly, its rooftop bar and restaurant located on the twelfth flooring. Providing panoramic views that stretch far past town, it’s a hotspot for each friends and locals.
The menu on the weitsicht Restaurant showcases a contemporary and versatile eating expertise, mixing regional Tyrolean flavours with worldwide influences. All of the steaks are dry aged and sourced from their trusted Tyrolean butcher Gunter from A la Carte in Haiming, 50 kilometres west of Innsbruck.
We significantly loved the black garlic cream soup with shrimp. And the pickled wild salmon with gin, cucumber, sesame and Ponzu was additionally an ideal choice.
For the mains, we advocate the duet of duck served with purple cabbage and rosemary potatoes, or the Hokkaido pumpkin squash with salmon.
There’s a constantly altering number of seasonal desserts. If accessible, you received’t go far improper with the ‘mandel and schoko’ (almond and chocolate), served with a honey ice cream.
The lodge additionally has its personal spa with a rest space with essentially the most wonderful view. You may go up right here to unwind, sit and skim a ebook, or just marvel on the panorama in entrance of you.
There’s additionally a sauna and steam room however, as is customary in Austria, nudity is predicted. You may in fact merely chorus from utilizing this facet of the spa if this feels too un-British for you.

Few accommodations can boast a greater location than ADLERS. Smack within the centre of Innsbruck and simply steps from the principle practice station, it’s completely poised for exploring each town and the mountains. You’re a brief stroll from the Outdated City’s golden-roofed appeal, but shut sufficient to the ski lifts to make a morning on the slopes really feel solely easy.

For me, it must be the spectacular views. What actually elevates ADLERS is its sense of place. As Innsbruck’s highest lodge, it feels deeply linked to the mountains and woven into the material of Innsbruck itself. It’s a uncommon and fantastic factor for a lodge to make you’re feeling so linked to its environment.
