Where to stay in Hötting
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Hötting suits visitors who want distance from the crowds. Guesthouse rooms sit among the streets around the Alte Höttinger Pfarrkirche, and a walk over into the old town brings the Golden Roof, the Hofburg, and the cafés of the Domplatz within a quarter of an hour. Families lean toward the Alpenzoo Innsbruck end.
Quiet comes easily out here, and the Weiherburg side keeps to itself after dark.

About Hötting
What are the main landmarks in Hötting?
Animals draw the crowds. The Alpenzoo Innsbruck sits beside the Weiherburg, and the pair pull families away from the museum route that runs through the Tiroler Landesmuseum and the Museum of Tyrolean Folk Art. The Alte Höttinger Pfarrkirche holds the district's older ground, while the Christuskirche serves the newer streets.
A short walk reaches the Golden Roof, the Stadtturm, and the Ottoburg. Innsbruck Cathedral rises over the Domplatz.
What is the history of Hötting?
Hötting kept its own parish before Innsbruck grew around it. The Alte Höttinger Pfarrkirche remains from that older settlement, and later churches such as the Christuskirche and the Petrus Canisius Church mark the streets that filled in behind it. The Weiherburg belongs to an older order of building, and it now shares its ground with the Alpenzoo Innsbruck.
Memory is marked too. The Pogromdenkmal and the Befreiungsdenkmal carry the twentieth century's harder record in Innsbruck.
Where is Hötting?
Hötting reaches from the Alte Höttinger Pfarrkirche out to the Weiherburg and the Alpenzoo Innsbruck, with the Innsbruck old town and its Domplatz at the other end.
