Gasthof Grüner Baum

The DNA

Hotel Gasthof Grüner Baum: Medieval Soul, Modern Heart

A Living Legacy Since 1500

Tucked within the storybook village of Glurns (Glorenza in Italian), South Tyrol’s walled town jewel, Hotel Gasthof Grüner Baum offers a beguiling blend of history and contemporary elegance. With roots tracing back to the 16th century, this landmark hotel carries centuries of charm behind its frescoed façade—yet surprises guests with an interior that feels fresh, serene, and unmistakably modern.


Design That Bridges Centuries

Recognized across both design and travel circles, the Grüner Baum’s award-winning restoration is a masterclass in restraint and refinement. Pale timber floors, hand-restored boiserie, and vintage furniture are offset by sculptural lighting, smooth satin glass, and soft architectural curves. The result is a subtle yet striking harmony between old and new—timeless, but never stuck in time.


Rooms with a View—and a Vibe

No two rooms are the same, each one curated with individual flair and thoughtful detail. Expect soaring ceilings, historical textures, and perfectly balanced color palettes. But the true crown jewel? The rooftop parapet terrace—where views unfurl over monasteries, mountain silhouettes, and medieval rooftops, offering a perspective that’s both grounding and breathtaking.


Calm in the Heart of History

Whether you’re sipping a glass of local wine in the serene courtyard or simply basking in the stillness of your design-forward suite, Grüner Baum invites you to unwind slowly. Here, the past is present—but so is a sense of lightness, space, and intentional beauty.


DNA Hotels Verdict

Hotel Gasthof Grüner Baum is proof that history doesn’t have to feel heavy. Elegant, authentic, and architecturally inspired, this is a rare retreat where medieval romance meets 21st-century calm—with mountain air and timeless style to spare.
