|This is where I go for Christmas, a secret hideaway in Tyrol at 2,020 meters altitude. Once this imperial hunting castle, from 1280, was owned by Kaiser Franz Josef und Kaiserin Elisabeth von Österreich (Sissi!). The hotel is not extremely expensive and halfboard only, which is great since this is said to be the best kitchen in the area. Hotel Jagdschloss Kühtai, Sellraintal Valley, Austria
