A holiday between mountain peaks and garden

A fairytale-like Gründerzeit facade on the outside, a modern boutique hotel on the inside – the ERIKA Boutique Hotel in Kitzbühel.

STREIFZUG Kitzbühel | Issue 59 | Summer 2026

In summertime, Kitzbühel lives from its polarities. Mountain encounters city, tranquillity encounters action, they are the milestones of everyday life. ERIKA Boutiquehotel lies at focal point between the extremes.

The Garden Club at Erika brings lightness and ease from the Côte d’Azur to the Alps, it acts like a summery meeting place outdoors. Lounging in airy, green zones, cooling off in the natural pond, sipping a beverage beneath the leafy trees, listening to DJ sounds in the background, those are the pleasures of afternoon at Erika as evening draws near. The Garden Club is open in good weather from June until September, Friday through Sunday, from 03.00 until 08.00 pm, also for external guests.

A contrast to this is generated by GonG – the Boutique Spa. Extending over a space of 400 square metres, everyday life here becomes a bit softer and gentler. At the core lies the ZERO GRAVITY GonG^®-Treatment, during which bodily and mental tensions are unknotted and quieted by gong vibrations. This constellation of well-being is rounded out by two saunas, indoor pools and individually designed treatments.

Still another aspect of summertime reveals itself at RIKS Restaurant: reduced at midday, with a clear-cut focus on products-and-composition in the evening. The terrace and the Greenhouse Bar expand spaces a further notch towards the outdoors – made to order on Kitzbühel’s long summer evenings.
