Why DNA Hotels loves it

A striking concrete monolith that demonstrates how bold contemporary architecture can thrive within the historic fabric of South Tyrol.

Just eight individually designed rooms, each inspired by a different spice, creating a rare dialogue between gastronomy and interior design.

A thoughtful contrast between austere architecture and expressive interiors makes every stay a genuinely sensory experience.

The Stay

An Architectural Hideaway Where Minimalism, Colour, and Culinary Inspiration Come Together

Hidden within the village centre of Lana, Stadele Rooms occupies an exceptionally narrow site between the renowned Stadele Restaurant and the owners’ home. Rather than treating this constraint as a limitation, the architects transformed it into the project’s defining strength. The sharply cut concrete volume slips precisely into its surroundings, its smooth, velvet-like façade punctuated by dark steel balcony boxes that appear to float against the pale exterior. The architecture is remarkably restrained. Its presence is unmistakable.

Minimalism Outside, Richness Within

The exterior reveals almost nothing of what awaits inside. Crossing the threshold introduces an entirely different world, where colour, texture, imagery, and carefully selected materials create interiors filled with warmth and personality. The deliberate contrast between the calm architectural shell and the expressive rooms gives the project its distinctive identity. The surprise feels intentional. Every transition has meaning.

Eight Rooms, Eight Spices

Each of the hotel’s eight guestrooms takes inspiration from a different spice found in the neighbouring restaurant’s kitchen. Ginger, star anise, juniper, and other aromatic ingredients become the starting point for carefully composed colour palettes, tactile materials, and atmospheric details. Rather than feeling thematic, the rooms offer subtle sensory experiences that connect hospitality with gastronomy in an original and sophisticated way. Every room tells its own story. No two stays feel the same.

Where Design Meets Gastronomy

The relationship with the adjoining Stadele Restaurant extends well beyond location. The lobby blends the colours and textures of the various spices into a layered composition reminiscent of an oriental bazaar, creating an inviting transition between restaurant and hotel. Throughout the property, architecture and cuisine continue a conversation that engages far more than sight alone. Design appeals to every sense. The experience feels complete.

A Contemporary Landmark in Lana

With only eight rooms, Stadele offers an intimacy rarely found in larger boutique hotels. Its bold architectural identity, thoughtful interior concept, and close relationship with one of South Tyrol’s most respected restaurants make it an ideal base for discovering the region while enjoying a stay that feels entirely unique. Small in scale. Rich in character.

Why It Works

Stadele Rooms succeeds because it transforms a simple overnight stay into a carefully choreographed sensory experience. Its sculptural architecture, imaginative interiors, and seamless connection between design and gastronomy create one of South Tyrol’s most original boutique hotels—a place where every detail has been considered, yet nothing feels overdesigned.
