Stage 12 Hotel by Penz
Innsbruck, Austria · Penz Hotels · Near Luxury
For decades Maria-Theresien-Straße 12 was the Breinössl, and the hall upstairs was the Breinösslbühne, where Paul Flora painted the sets and Felix Mitterer's Kein Platz für Idioten had its premiere. Max Weiler painted a column in that room, and the Volksbühne Blaas played on into the 1980s. In December 2017 the Penz family opened Stage 12 in the shell of that house: 120 rooms and a new courtyard wing behind the protected front.

About Stage 12 Hotel by Penz
- BWM set the lobby as a stage: black marble underfoot, a leather-fronted desk, a light wall three meters wide meant to read as a forest clearing, and a swing on blue cords so you sit in the scene.
- Anton Dietrich's rebuild of about 1906 joined the Breinössl to number 14 and gave it the Heimatstil facade, oriels included, that had to be kept. Baumschlager Hutter Partners designed the courtyard wing, and BWM Designers and Architects, under Erich Bernard, did the rooms.
- Johann and August Penz backed the opening, with Daniel and Thomas Penz shaping the bar. Before the rebuild the address had belonged to the Tourotel group.
- Entry-level rooms start at 161 sq ft (15 m²).
History
Maria-Theresien-Straße 12 was the Gasthof Breinössl. Around 1906 Anton Dietrich joined it to number 14 and gave the pair a Heimatstil facade that is now protected. Upstairs, the Breinösslbühne was a Tyrolean meeting place into the 1980s: sets by Paul Flora, a column painted by Max Weiler, and the premiere of Felix Mitterer's Kein Platz für Idioten, with the Volksbühne Blaas in residence. The Penz family, Johann and August, opened Stage 12 in December 2017 after the interior was taken back to the shell. Baumschlager Hutter Partners built the courtyard wing. BWM designed the rooms and a lobby that still plays at being a theater. The last operator before that was the Tourotel group.
The setting
Maria-Theresien-Straße 12 is the main shopping street at the edge of the old town, a few minutes from the Golden Roof. The house stands directly by the Altstadt. The street runs from the old moat at Marktgraben down to the Triumphpforte.
