Family & History

History of the Family

Jakob Hochfilzer bought this estate with its hotel and large farmhouse in 1832. Since then, the Hochfilzer family have continued being hosts and hostesses with nobody being able to imagine working in another career. Mrs. Hochfilzer senior, is still committed to playing an active roll in the hotel, especially when encouraging the guests to play golf. The next generation consists of myself, Ingrid, the daughter-in-law to Hochfilzer, and my children: Christoph, Lukas and Kathrin, who are already showing a keen interest in the hotel and restaurant trade along with their school work.

History:

Since 1549 the house was granted a licence from the “Urbanamt” in Kufstein to sell wine to the general public. Jakob Hochfilzer bought this estate on 29.11.1832. The family became prosperous through the successful handling of livestock, which was the agricultural focal point until 1973 (when the hotel was built), however, throughout the whole region the “Wiascht” achieved a good reputation for his marvellous preparation of plain home cooking

The sunny side of the farm was rebuilt after it burned down in 1969. The main house wasn’t damaged by the fire.

The hotel was constantly being renovated, expanded and improved with a lot of money being invested into it. After two years, an extension of the inn was erected, creating a building that looked like a country house.

The dining hall was built in 1985.

The section with the luxury rooms and the scenic swimming landscaped area was built in 1992.

The first and second floors of the main house were completely refurbished and the rooms made larger in 1995.
