Amore Mio: Parkhotel Mondschein
Italian Escape since the 14th century
What was once Bolzano’s first inn is now one of South Tyrol’s most stylish design hotels. Since reopening in 2022, Parkhotel Mondschein has combined listed architecture with modern slow living. Even the ochre façade, overgrown with ivy and featuring Art Nouveau balconies, catches the eye straight away. The look? Somewhere between Alpine calm, an Italian film set and timeless Riviera aesthetics.
An urban oasis beneath palm trees
The hotel’s signature spot is its green courtyard with pool: dark green pool tiles, terracotta flooring and elegant parasols give the outdoor area a Mediterranean retro feel. The Kiosk Bar serves drinks and snacks alongside it – right in the heart of Bolzano, yet it feels miles away.
As if from a classic Italian film
Inside, ancient stone staircases and wide terrazzo corridors lead through the house. The interior pays homage to Italian cinema of the early 60s: dark wood, warm tones, mid-century silhouettes and vintage details feel nostalgic, but never old-fashioned. Must-have for recreating the look: design classics such as the C-Chair by GUBI bring exactly this understated elegance into your home.
Slow down with a view
High ceilings, stucco, herringbone parquet and solid wood furniture meet clean lines and soft textiles. Some rooms offer views of the park or mountains – you may not have that view at home, but you can still get the look: with the JONES wooden bed with Viennese cane or soft upholstery, for example.
La Dolce Vita, moonlight style
With yoga sessions in the “arise” studio – one of the first body & mind spaces of its kind in Bolzano – plus cool events, this boutique hotel is far more than a classic hotel. Artist residencies and cultural formats make it a creative meeting place. Not to mention: at the hotel’s own Luna Bar and Luna Restaurant, you’ll be well looked after with aperitivo and great food.
