Innsbruck Family Hotels with Game Rooms (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with game room in Innsbruck . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Innsbruck weather flips fast. A blue alpine morning can turn into a thunderstorm by 3pm, and that is exactly when you want a hotel with a real game room. Not just a shelf of dog-eared Monopoly boxes in the lobby, but a proper room with a billiards table, table tennis or foosball where the kids can run off energy while you finish your coffee. Five hotels in and around Innsbruck genuinely deliver that. Three are up in the surrounding mountain villages of Mutters, Lans and Götzens (free ski-bus to town, quieter at night), two sit closer to the old town. Prices range from 200 to 322 EUR a night for a family room.
Innsbruck is small for an alpine capital, walkable in twenty minutes end to end, but the mountains around it are huge. The Nordkettenbahnen cable car leaves the city centre and reaches 2256m in twenty minutes. Old town streets are pedestrian, the Inn river runs green from glacier melt, and the Goldenes Dachl square fills with families licking gelato in summer. In winter the Christkindlmarkt stalls take over the same square. Innsbruck feels like a working Tyrolean town, not a theme park.
Why Innsbruck families need a hotel with a game room
Innsbruck combines real city amenities with full mountain access in a way few European destinations match. You can have espresso at a café below the Goldenes Dachl, then thirty minutes later be hiking at 2200m on the Nordkette. The Innsbruck Card covers the Nordkettenbahnen cable car, public transport, the Alpenzoo and most museums for one fixed price.
For families with kids old enough to walk but too young for serious hiking, the cable cars solve the elevation problem. The Patscherkofel cable car opens onto a flat alpine playground area perfect for picnics. The Mutterer Alm above Mutters has summer toboggan and rope courses. Götzens has a chairlift to the Hochgrat that runs in summer too. Most of these are 15-30 minutes from a city base and free with the Innsbruck Card.
Game-room hotels matter because Tyrolean weather is genuinely unpredictable. Even in July, an afternoon storm can shut down outdoor plans for two hours. A hotel with billiards or a foosball table turns those two hours from frustrated kids glued to phones into a family round of mini-tournaments.
Parent's take
Honestly, the best Innsbruck base depends on whether you want city or village. The old town hotels are walkable to everything but lack outdoor space. The Mutters and Lans village hotels feel calmer, have gardens, and the bus to town runs every 20 minutes. With young kids, the village option is usually less stressful.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Innsbruck with game room, sorted by guest rating.
Der WALZL
Innsbruck
Excellent
0 reviews
Der WALZL is a 4-star alpine inn in Lans village, 6 km southeast of Innsbruck. Rated 8.9, the property has a games room, outdoor swimming pool (open May-September), children's playground and free parking.
From
€223/night
Why families love Der WALZL
Der WALZL has the highest rating of these five (8.9) and you can see why. The games room shares a wing with the children's playground, the outdoor pool opens for summer stays, and the family rooms are quiet and full of natural wood. Lans is a tiny village 12 minutes by car from Innsbruck old town. Half-board with traditional dishes is included on most rate plans. Pets are allowed which matters if you're driving from Germany.
Alp Art Hotel Götzens
Innsbruck
Excellent
0 reviews
Alp Art Hotel Götzens sits on a sunny plateau at 870m elevation, 12 km southwest of Innsbruck old town. The games room has table tennis and a small games corner, plus there's a tennis court, mini golf and outdoor playground in the grounds.
From
€223/night
Why families love Alp Art Hotel Götzens
Götzens is one of the prettiest mountain villages in the Innsbruck area and Alp Art makes a calm base for families who want hiking by day and a quiet bedtime. The free ski-bus runs to Olympia SkiWorld lifts in winter, and the hotel's own games room with table tennis keeps kids occupied during evening rain. Family rooms have mountain views and most have balconies. The on-site spa has a sauna for parents while children play next door.
Hotel Sonnhof
Innsbruck
Excellent
0 reviews
Hotel Sonnhof in Mutters has a games room and children's playground in a sunny mountain-view garden. Family rooms include some with bunk beds for kids and the property has a sauna and views of the Tuxer Alps.
From
€322/night
Why families love Hotel Sonnhof
Sonnhof is the toddler-friendliest pick because it has both a games room and a proper outdoor playground in the garden. With young kids, that pairing matters: rainy day means table tennis, sunny day means swings. The mountain-view rooms catch full afternoon light. The owners cook traditional Tyrolean food and the half-board option is solid value if you don't want to drive into town for dinner every night.
Hotel Sailer
Innsbruck
Excellent
0 reviews
Hotel Sailer is in central Innsbruck on Adamgasse, a 7-minute walk from the Old Town and 5 minutes from the train station. It has a games room, restaurant, family rooms with air conditioning and bicycle rental.
From
€295/night
Why families love Hotel Sailer
Sailer is the city option, walkable to everything. The games room is on the ground floor near the bar and works for older kids more than toddlers because it shares space with adult diners after 8pm. Family rooms are air-conditioned which matters in a Tyrolean July heatwave when the village hotels often aren't. The breakfast is generous and the train station next door makes day trips to Salzburg easy.
Hotel Garni Schieferle
Innsbruck
Very Good
0 reviews
Hotel Garni Schieferle is a small family-run hotel in Mutters village, 500m from the Mutterer Alm Ski Lift and 8 km from Innsbruck. The games corner has table tennis, billiards and board games, plus a sauna for parents.
From
€200/night
Why families love Hotel Garni Schieferle
Schieferle is the most game-room dense of these hotels per square metre. There's table tennis, full-size billiards, and a stocked board game shelf, all in a basement room next to the wellness area. The catch: it's small (15 rooms), so book early. Kids love the Mutterer Alm summer toboggan run two minutes' walk away. The bus to Innsbruck stops at the door every 20 minutes.
💡Tips for picking the right game-room hotel in Innsbruck
- 1Get the Innsbruck Card from your hotel reception, not online. Most of these hotels sell it directly and it includes the Nordkettenbahnen cable car, which alone costs 41 EUR per adult round trip. The 24-hour card pays for itself with one cable car ride and the Alpenzoo entrance.
- 2Ask at check-in whether the game room is supervised, locked at night, or always open. At Hotel Sailer the games room shares space with the bar after 8pm, while Der WALZL keeps it open to children all evening. This matters if you want kids playing while you have dinner downstairs.
- 3Mutters and Götzens hotels are 8 to 12 km from Innsbruck old town but the regional bus and tram run every 20 minutes until 10pm. A 10-trip ticket costs about 17 EUR for a family of four. Driving into the old town is restricted and parking is expensive so let the bus do the work.
- 4July and August book up months ahead, especially the Mutters village hotels which only have 15-30 rooms. June and September are quieter, cheaper, and the weather is still warm enough for cable cars and lake swimming at Achensee. October half-term is shoulder season too.
- 5If your hotel has table tennis, check whether bats and balls are provided or if you need to ask reception. Most Tyrolean hotels stock them at the desk, but some keep them in the wellness area, and at Alp Art Hotel Götzens the bats are in the games room cabinet itself.
