The most recent reopening among South Tyrol’s luxury hotels is in Val Pusteria. Since December 2025, the former Hotel Schloss Sonnenburg has been welcoming guests again as Castel Badia San Lorenzo di Sebato after a thorough restoration. You stay in an 11th-century castle where frescoes and the original plaster came back to light, and you relax in the Romanesque convent vaults below: the new spa there has a heated indoor pool, a hammam and an outdoor Finnish sauna. Outside, two heated infinity pools await, one with a view of the Dolomites. In the evening, Alberto Toè, formerly creative director of Horto in Milan, cooks at the chef’s table over an open hearth.
Castel Badia San Lorenzo di Sebato · Rooms & suitesOn the Alpe di Siusi, COMO has comprehensively renovated the former Alpina Dolomites; since the first summer season of 2024 it has been called COMO Alpina Dolomites. For families and skiers it is our tip: rooms and suites have been refurnished in pine with made-to-measure pieces, the South Tyrolean hay bath is the signature treatment at the COMO Shambhala spa, and Trattoria Dell’Alpe brings the cooking of the Veneto up to 1,800 metres. If you are travelling without children, go up to the Infinity Rooftop Spa at Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno in Naturno, open since 2023: clothing-free, with a hot pool at 37 degrees on the roof.
Forestis · Rooms & suitesTwo houses in the Dolomites bring new architecture. At Forestis on the southern slope of the Plose, three wooden towers have stood next to the historic building since July 2020, and every suite looks out on the mountains. At Hotel Schgaguler in the centre of Castelrotto, Peter Pichler’s pointed gables and tall glass windows have brought the Sciliar into the house since 2018. If you have your eye on a 5-star hotel in South Tyrol with seasonal opening, our travel advisors will gladly tell you the opening times for your dates.
In 24 of the 26 houses in this selection you swim in your hotel’s own pool. If you want to swim at a 5-star hotel in South Tyrol, what matters in the mountains is the water temperature – and whether the pool stays open outdoors in winter.
Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno · PoolWarm in the open air all year round: at Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano in Avelengo, the saltwater infinity pool measures 16 by 5 metres, is kept at no less than 32 degrees and seems to float above the Merano basin. Around Lana we recommend Hotel Schwarzschmied Lana, with a 20-metre outdoor pool that is heated all year round. For families in Val Gardena: Alpenroyal Grand Hotel, a 5-star hotel in Selva, whose outdoor pool at 33 degrees is open all year and reaches out towards the Grand Parc with a current channel and underwater music.
Alpenroyal Grand Hotel · PoolSeveral water worlds await at Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno: the Sky Infinity sports pool is 20 metres long and 29 degrees warm all year, the infinity brine pool is at 36 degrees, the indoor thermal-water pool at 33 degrees, and from March to November a summer pool with a sandy beach opens. For couples we recommend Forestis: the indoor and outdoor pools are connected and fed with spring water from the Plose, and the two penthouse suites have their own rooftop pool.
For swimming lengths, choose the 25-metre pool at Falkensteiner Hotel Kronplatz by the Kronplatz valley station, which also has a rooftop pool facing the mountain, or the 22-metre indoor pool at COMO Alpina Dolomites, complemented by a 7-metre outdoor pool with a panoramic view. In Ortisei, the indoor pool at Hotel Gardena Groednerhof measures 17 by 7 metres.
In the gardens lie the pools of the castles and villas. Our tip for quiet days: the park of Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano, with an outdoor pool for the warmer months plus an indoor pool. At Castel Fragsburg, a heated pool of 13 by 8 metres lies between rose arches, wisteria and fruit trees, and at Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus a heated outdoor pool in the Karthauser Bad looks down the valley.
Then choose a house with an outdoor pool heated all year: Alpenroyal Grand Hotel with 33 degrees right by the park, Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano with its saltwater pool above Merano, or Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno, whose Sky Infinity sports pool is open all year. Please note: Preidlhof only accepts guests aged 16 and over, and the saunas at Alpenroyal are for guests aged 16 and over and clothing-free.
Many South Tyrolean spas work with what grows outside the door. At Forestis, the signature treatments follow four trees of the mountain forest: mountain pine, spruce, larch and Swiss stone pine. At Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus in Val Senales, the house’s own glacier cosmetics GLACISSE are used, and at Castel Fragsburg the alchemical healing spa mixes its cosmetics fresh from South Tyrolean herbs.
Alpenroyal Grand Hotel · SpaPlenty of space is what the big wellness houses among the luxury hotels in South Tyrol offer. For sauna fans we recommend Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno: the spa covers 5,500 m² with its own thermal water; its centrepiece is the Sauna Tower with 18 steam, relaxation and sweating stations on six floors, open daily from 11 am to 11 pm, with infusions led by a certified sauna master.
Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus · SpaFor couples we recommend Forestis: its spa measures almost 2,000 m², with four private spas for couples and a room for Celtic yoga. Families find 5,000 m² reserved for hotel guests at Alpenroyal Grand Hotel, with five water areas, six saunas and steam baths and a family sauna in the park cottage.
Saunas with a view are found in several houses. In the Karthauser Bad at Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus, you sit in a Finnish sauna at treetop height or in a wood-fired earth sauna and then warm up by the open fire in the Gloriette glass pavilion. Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano has a forest sauna of black hemlock 20 metres above the ground and an onsen pool made of South Tyrolean porphyry, and at Hotel Schgaguler you reach the whirlpool on the terrace straight from the spa and the bar.
Medicine and longevity are at the heart of Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano: the Villa Eden Longevity Institute works with a medical team under Dr Emanuele De Nobili, offering preventive and aesthetic medicine and programmes such as The Eden Discovery. The house has only 25 suites and takes no more than 40 adult guests. Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno also adds a medical spa with check-ups and therapies, and at Hotel Gardena Groednerhof there is a separate women-only area with sauna and steam bath next to the large spa.
Looking for a gourmet hotel in South Tyrol? Five houses in this selection have a restaurant with a Michelin star. Two stars have been held since 2017 by Terra in Val Sarentino: Heinrich Schneider cooks a tasting menu with wild herbs and mushrooms from the surrounding area, while Gisela Schneider accompanies it as sommelière with a list of around 1,000 wines. The restaurant opens seasonally and is closed on Sundays and Mondays; staying at Terra - The Magic Place means sleeping in one of only eleven rooms in the same house.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comOne star goes to three restaurants in the Dolomites. For skiers we recommend Hotel La Perla in Corvara: at La Stüa de Michil, confirmed in the 2026 guide, Simone Cantafio brings together the Dolomites and influences from Hokkaido in a Ladin stube. In Ortisei, Reimund Brunner cooks creatively and regionally at Anna Stuben in Hotel Gardena Groednerhof, Monday to Saturday from 7 to 9 pm, and at Alpenroyal Grand Hotel in Selva, Mario Porcelli unites his Apulian roots with the Dolomites at the Alpenroyal Gourmet Restaurant.
Terra - The Magic Place · DiningOur tip for a starred dinner around Merano: Prezioso at Castel Fragsburg above the town. Egon Heiss serves a five-course tasting menu from the house’s own Soul Garden there, awarded a Michelin star and the 2026 Green Star.
Beyond the Michelin stars, the chefs at the luxury hotels in South Tyrol are worth a look. For couples who want the mountains in view: at Forestis, Roland Lamprecht cooks his Forest Cuisine with a FORESTIS and a detox menu of seven courses each, and every table in the terraced dining room looks out on the Dolomites. In the Panorama Restaurant at Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano, Massimo Geromel cooks for just 26 seats.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
Our tip for a special evening: Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus serves the six-course SILENTIUM menu in the Josef Stube, inspired by the Carthusian monks, with tastings in the monks’ former vaulted cellar. If you want an easy dinner after a day on the slopes, book COMO Alpina Dolomites: the Trattoria Dell’Alpe brings dishes from Venice to Verona to the table.
Castel Fragsburg · DiningFor wine lovers, the cellar is often reason enough to choose a particular 5-star hotel in South Tyrol. Mahatma Wine at Hotel La Perla holds more than 30,000 bottles, including a Sassicaia collection, and the vinothèque at Alpenroyal Grand Hotel lists more than 700 labels. And at the bar of Forestis, drinks are mixed with herbs, bark and needles from the surrounding forest.
In South Tyrol, Michelin-starred cooking often sits high up in the valleys, and the roads there wind. So book the room with the restaurant: Terra - The Magic Place in Val Sarentino, Hotel Gardena Groednerhof in Ortisei or Hotel La Perla in Corvara. For Terra, avoid arriving on a Sunday or Monday; our travel advisors will happily coordinate room and table for the same evening.
For lovers of old monastery walls: Castel Badia San Lorenzo di Sebato stands on a castle founded by Count Otwin of Lurngau in the 11th century. His son Volkhold turned it into the first Benedictine convent in Tyrol; after a fire in 1598 it survived until 1785. The complex has been a hotel since 1965, and today you can also stay in a chalet in the former convent bakery of 1693, with its own outdoor whirlpool. In Val Senales you stay at Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus within the walls of the old Carthusian monastery village of Karthaus, and the Via Monachorum pilgrims’ trail starts at the door.
Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus · TumlhofAbove Merano, Castel Fragsburg was built as a hunting lodge in 1624. In 1954 it passed to the Ortner family, who now run it in the third and fourth generation; by buying Fragsburg Paternum castle from the 14th century, they reunited two buildings that originally belonged together. The back story of Forestis is an unusual one: in 1912 the Austro-Hungarian monarchy chose the slope of the Plose for a tuberculosis sanatorium to plans by Otto Wagner, which was never used as such. The Hinteregger family ran the house as a hotel from 2010.
In the Dolomites, several 5-star hotels in South Tyrol tell a family story spanning generations. In Ortisei, Antonio and Anna Demetz bought a private house in 1923 and turned it into a hotel; since December 2003 Hotel Gardena Groednerhof has been the first five-star hotel in the village. Hotel La Perla was opened by Ernesto Costa in Corvara in 1956; today his sons run the house, which includes his 15th-century birthplace, La Ciasa Vedla, now used for tastings. In Selva, the Prinoth family has run Alpenroyal Grand Hotel since 1956.
Hotel Gardena Groednerhof · Sureghes - Überwasser - OltretorrenteAround Merano, two of today’s luxury hotels started out very small. Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano opened in 1932 as a guesthouse with three rooms; parts of the Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me” were shot in the area. The Ladurner family started in 1966 with the Pension Ladurner and nine rooms, which grew into Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno. At Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano, Karl Schmid turned a private villa into Italy’s first “beauty farm” in 1982; his daughter Angelika Schmid has run the house since 1993.
Michelin Keys are awarded to hotels, not restaurants. In South Tyrol, two houses hold two Michelin Keys: Forestis above Bressanone and Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano in Merano.
One Key goes to five more houses. Among them we recommend COMO Alpina Dolomites on the Alpe di Siusi for families and Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus in Val Senales for quiet days. The restaurants’ Michelin stars are counted separately: two for Terra, one each for La Stüa de Michil, Anna Stuben, the Alpenroyal Gourmet Restaurant and Prezioso. Both under one roof – a Michelin Key for the hotel and a starred restaurant – you will find at Hotel Gardena Groednerhof, a 5-star hotel in Ortisei.
South Tyrol’s luxury hotels are well represented in the major hotel associations too. If you value Relais & Châteaux, book Terra - The Magic Place (since 2014) or Hotel Gardena Groednerhof (since 2004). Among the Leading Hotels of the World we recommend Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano and COMO Alpina Dolomites.
From Small Luxury Hotels of the World we recommend Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano and Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus, from Design Hotels Hotel Schgaguler in Castelrotto.
Forestis · BrixenFor sustainable travel: Vigilius Mountain Resort Lana holds EarthCheck Gold and heats with wood chips from Monte San Vigilio, and Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano is EarthCheck-certified and holds the South Tyrol sustainability label at level 3. Hotel Sassongher Corvara in Badia was named Italy’s Best Ski Hotel at the World Ski Awards in 2022 and 2025.
South Tyrol is not one place but a sequence of valleys. Choose the landscape first, then the house.
Merano and Avelengo: around Merano the luxury hotels lie among vineyards, apple orchards and a spa town. For couples we recommend Villa Eden The Leading Park Retreat Merano, in a centuries-old park in Merano itself and for adults only. On a hill above it, Castel Fragsburg sits in a garden of 50,000 m² on the edge of the Texel group nature park. Our recommendation: Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano at 1,230 metres in Avelengo, looking down into the Adige valley.
Villa Eden The Private Retreat Merano · Untermais - Maia BassaLana and Val Venosta: around Lana we recommend Hotel Schwarzschmied Lana, with its 20-metre outdoor pool heated all year; a cable car takes you up to the car-free Vigilius Mountain Resort Lana. If you are travelling without children and want plenty of spa, stay at Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno in Naturno in Val Venosta.
In and around Bolzano you combine town and mountains. Castel Hoertenberg Bolzano lies in the Dodiciville district in a residence of 1471, Parkhotel Mondschein Bolzano right in the centre. Further north, secluded in Val Sarentino, Terra - The Magic Place awaits. Our recommendation for food lovers: Terra - The Magic Place.
Vigilius Mountain Resort Lana · LanaIn Val Senales, at 1,323 metres between three-thousanders and glaciers, Hotel Zur Goldenen Rose Karthaus lies in the old monastery village of Karthaus.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comIn Val Gardena, on the Alpe di Siusi and in Castelrotto you stay at luxury hotels in the heart of the Dolomites. Our recommendation: COMO Alpina Dolomites on the Alpe di Siusi, right on the slopes. In Ortisei, Hotel Gardena Groednerhof lies a few steps from the centre, around 200 metres from the lifts, and in the centre of Castelrotto Hotel Schgaguler faces the Sciliar.
No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.
In Alta Badia, two family-run houses stand in Corvara: Hotel La Perla, a 5-star hotel in the village centre, around 30 metres from the Col Alto lift, and Hotel Sassongher Corvara in Badia at around 1,568 metres at the foot of the Sassongher, on the Sella Ronda. Our recommendation: Hotel La Perla.
Villa Eden The Private Retreat Merano · South TyrolAbove Valle Isarco, Forestis stands at 1,800 metres on the southern slope of the Plose, 18 kilometres above Bressanone, with ski-in/ski-out access to the ski area.
In Val Pusteria, Falkensteiner Hotel Kronplatz sits right at the Kronplatz valley station in Riscone, and Castel Badia San Lorenzo di Sebato on a hill near San Lorenzo di Sebato, six kilometres from Brunico. Our recommendation: Castel Badia San Lorenzo di Sebato.
Split a longer trip between two valleys. If you want to hike in summer and dine among the vines in the evening, combine the area around Merano with Val Gardena or Alta Badia; in winter the houses on the slopes are in Corvara, Selva, on the Alpe di Siusi, on the Plose and at Kronplatz. Vigilius Mountain Resort Lana can only be reached by cable car – your car stays in the garage at the valley station.
7 of the 26 hotels in South Tyrol close outside their season. The next seasonal closure starts on November 15, 2026 (Falkensteiner Hotel Kronplatz). From December 18, 2026, all 26 hotels are open.

From 158 € you stay at Parkhotel Mondschein Bolzano; a night at Forestis costs up to 750 €.

Around Merano for vineyards, gardens and mild days (recommendation: Miramonti Boutique Hotel Merano), in and around Bolzano for town life and fine dining (recommendation: Terra - The Magic Place), in Val Gardena and on the Alpe di Siusi for the Dolomites and the slopes (recommendation: COMO Alpina Dolomites) and in Alta Badia for family hotels with tradition (recommendation: Hotel La Perla). Val Pusteria suits Kronplatz and old monastery walls. Hotels with large spas, saunas and pools are compared in our guide to spa hotels in South Tyrol.
COMO Alpina Dolomites has a kids’ club for 4 to 12-year-olds, babysitting and sits right on the slopes. At Hotel Gardena Groednerhof, children aged three and over are looked after six days a week from 3 to 11 pm. Alpenroyal Grand Hotel has a kids’ club and a family sauna.

Forestis on the Plose and COMO Alpina Dolomites on the Alpe di Siusi offer ski-in/ski-out. It is only a few steps from Hotel Gardena Groednerhof to the lifts in Ortisei (around 200 metres) and from Hotel La Perla to the Col Alto lift (around 30 metres).
Among the luxury hotels in South Tyrol there is no single best one for everybody – it depends on how you travel. Families stay at COMO Alpina Dolomites right on the slopes of the Alpe di Siusi, with a kids’ club for 4 to 12-year-olds. Couples who want a luxurious suite head to Forestis above Bressanone: all 62 rooms are suites with a view of the Dolomites, and two penthouse suites have their own rooftop pool. If the spa comes first and you are travelling without children, book Preidlhof Luxury Dolce Vita Resort Naturno with its Sauna Tower, which accepts guests aged 16 and over. Our travel advisors will gladly discuss with you personally which house suits your dates.
That depends on whether slopes or wine cellars should take centre stage. At Hotel La Perla in Corvara, Simone Cantafio cooks at La Stüa de Michil with one Michelin star, and Mahatma Wine holds more than 30,000 bottles. At Alpenroyal Grand Hotel in Selva, the Alpenroyal Gourmet Restaurant holds one star and the vinothèque lists more than 700 labels. In Ortisei, Reimund Brunner cooks at Anna Stuben in Hotel Gardena Groednerhof, also with one star. If you travel for the food alone, book one of the eleven rooms at Terra - The Magic Place in Val Sarentino, whose restaurant holds two Michelin stars.
