Minor Hotels, an international operator, investor and owner in the hospitality industry founded in 1978 and based in Bangkok, Thailand, has signed an agreement to open a 120 - room hotel in Innsbruck, capital of Austria’s western state of Tyrol, a city in the Alps, uniquely blends a 500 - year - old historic city centre with dramatic world – class mountain terrain, featuring stunning attractions like the iconic Goldenes Dachl ( Golden Roof), avant -garde architecture like the Zaha Hadid - designed Bergisel Ski Jump, and offering instant access to hiking and skiing via the Nordkette cable cars.
Built in 1869 the NH Collection Innsbruck Grand Hotel Europa has historically hosted notable guests, including Queen Elizabeth II, Albert II of Monaco, and the Rolling Stones among others.
The property is owned by Dr Ernst Hutterer, with Christie & Co, a leading business property advisor based in London, England, UK specialising in operational real estate, hospitality, healthcare, childcare, retail and leisure sectors, supporting the operator search process.
The hotel surrounded by the majestic Tyrolean Alps is positioned near the historic centre, located directly opposite the central train station within a walking distance of landmarks such as the Golden Roof, Maria – Theresien – Straße, the Imperial Hofburg, the Court Church, the Stadtturm, the Hofgarten , and Congress Innsbruck, providing an easy access to the city’s main cultural, tourist and business attractions.
Scheduled to open in 2029 the property will have a comprehensive renovation with plans include increasing the number of guestrooms, adding further floors. After the renovation the hotel is expected to feature approximately 120 rooms, a restaurant and bar with external access, a rooftop bar, a wellness area., indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and dedicated spaces for meetings and events.
The project also involves reviving the historic “Baroksaal” (Barowue Salon), which has previously hosted receptions and balls of relevance, planned to be a venue for celebrations, events, and social gatherings.
The hotel will join NH Collection, a premium, upper - upscale brand under Minor Hotels. It features nearly 100 properties in major cities across Europe and the Americas, as well as locations in the Middle East, Maldives and Sri Lanka.
