Appartementhaus Residence Hirzer
Kitchenette apartments with a fitness centre and hot tub
About this hotel
Residence Hirzer stacks self-catering practicality with genuine wellness extras: kitchenette apartments with terraces, balconies and garden or pool views sit alongside a fitness centre, hot tub and lounge, a fuller amenity set than most apartment houses in Tirolo offer. The seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace round out the grounds, and a continental and Italian breakfast is served with local specialities, fresh pastries, cheese, fruit and juice. The property is three kilometres from the Gunpowder Tower and close to Parco Schiller and Merano Theatre, with hiking and cycling routes nearby and disabled-access parking available. Non-smoking rooms are standard, and each apartment's dining area doubles as a workspace, useful for anyone stretching a ski trip into a longer working stay, with an electric vehicle charging station on site for guests driving one.

Our take
This suits self-catering travellers who still want a hot tub and fitness centre as part of the stay, rather than choosing between an apartment and a wellness hotel. Families benefit from the dining areas and kitchenettes across a longer stay. Guests wanting a full restaurant on site should plan to eat out, since Hirzer's dining is limited to the breakfast service.
- Use the hot tub in the evening after cooking dinner in the kitchenette, a combination that works well here.
- Fit in the fitness centre before breakfast if mornings are tight once skiing starts.
- Rent bikes locally for the nearby cycling routes on a rest day.

Why guests love itResidence Hirzer gave us both sides of a stay we usually have to choose between, real cooking in the kitchenette and a hot tub afterward that felt like a proper wellness stop rather than an afterthought. The fitness centre saw use most mornings before the lifts opened. The seasonal pool was closed on our winter visit, worth checking dates in advance, but the hot tub more than covered the gap. It's a strong pick for a longer, self-sufficient stay with a bit of extra comfort.
