A Walled-Town Icon, Reimagined
Tucked inside Glurns, South Tyrol’s storybook walled town, Hotel Gasthof Grüner Baum carries a legacy that stretches back to 1500. Behind its frescoed façade, centuries of alpine history meet a restoration that feels quietly contemporary—turning a medieval landmark into a serene design retreat.
Design That Bridges Centuries
The hotel’s award-winning renovation is a masterclass in balance. Pale timber floors, restored boiserie, vintage furniture, satin glass, sculptural lighting, and soft architectural curves create a dialogue between past and present. Nothing feels overdone; everything feels considered.
Rooms with Character and Calm
No two rooms are exactly alike. Historical textures, high ceilings, muted palettes, and carefully chosen details give each space its own rhythm. The atmosphere is elegant but unforced—rooted in heritage, yet shaped for modern ease.
A Terrace Above Time
The rooftop parapet terrace is the hotel’s quiet showpiece. From here, views open across monasteries, medieval rooftops, and the surrounding mountain silhouettes—a perspective that captures both the intimacy of Glurns and the grandeur of South Tyrol.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Hotel Gasthof Grüner Baum proves that history doesn’t have to feel heavy. Authentic, refined, and architecturally thoughtful, it is a rare retreat where medieval romance meets 21st-century calm—with mountain air, quiet beauty, and timeless style to spare.
