“We particularly liked the fact that we were able to design our celebration individually and that we could choose which lounge we wanted to use, which was then reserved exclusively for our guests. The amazing service team, the child-friendly atmosphere and the great parking facilities are all also worth mentioning. We had a fantastic family celebration at the Alpenhotel Speckbacher Hof.”

Michael Harthaller (lawyer, Innsbruck)

 

“The homely atmosphere, the spacious rooms and the first-class cuisine are all reasons why I spend several short holidays a year here at Speckbacher Hof. I have already stayed here on numerous occasions and have always been completely satisfied with everything during my stay. I particularly like the way that the hotel is decorated and the CLASSY RUSTIC combination.”

The History of Speckbacher Hof

The story of our hotel began in 1499, with the construction of the Mesnerhaus (the sexton’s house, also known as the “Küster”) near St. Martin’s Abbey in Gnadenwald. The house was originally used to host priests and church-goers, however over the years it was turned into a public inn known as the “Koandlwirt”.

The year 1720 was a turning point for what is now our hotel, as it was during this year that it was granted a licence to sell beer and brandy. Thanks to this, not only could guests eat well in the Koandlwirt inn, they could also drink to their heart’s content. In 1900, the inn was given the name “Zum Speckbacher” in memory of Joseph Speckbacher, a Tyrolean freedom fighter who fought on the side of Andreas Hofer.

It was here in this inn – in what is now our Speckbacherstube – that Speckbacher and his companions devised their plans to take down the French forces in the region. Their big triumph came in 1809 when they forced Napoleon’s troops to retreat at Bergisel.
