The Romantik Art Hotel Turm is one of the most interesting, original and distinctive hotels in Italy, situated amidst the majestic landscape of the Dolomites, in the picturesque town of Völs am Schlern. This hotel is not just a venue for overnight stays, but a true artistic experience, combining history, modern design, culinary art and warm hospitality in harmony with Nature.
History with an Artistic Soul
The Hotel Turm boasts a history of more than 800 years. Originally it served as a mediaeval defence tower and later as an inn. Today it is a luxury hotel that has preserved its historical character, but at the same time amazes with bold, modern elements in the interior and the collection of fine art. All around – from the reception, the bedrooms to the wellness centre – one comes across original works by world-famous artists, such as Picasso, Kokoschka and Klimt. The hotel combines the atmosphere of a mediaeval fortress with the spirit of a modern art gallery.
Third Generation Family Tradition
The hotel is now family-owned by the third generation, run with passion and dedication by Kathi and Stephan Pramstrahler. This couple transformed the historical walls into a space filled with emotion, where a stay in any of the 42 bedrooms and apartments becomes an unforgettable experience.
Culinary Experience and Wellness with a View
One of the highlights of a stay at the Art Hotel Turm is undoubtedly the gastronomy. The hotel restaurant is one of the most renowned in the region, as confirmed by numerous awards. The cuisine combines Tyrolean tradition with Italian refinement, all courses made from fresh, local ingredients.
Wellness with a Vista of the Dolomites
Romantic Art Hotel Turm also features an original, first-class wellness centre. It comprises rock saunas, a salt cave, a swimming pool with panoramic views and relaxation zones, where guests can immerse themselves in the peace and tranquillity of the mountains. Special care and treatments combine the power of Alpine herbs and the latest wellness trends.
Own Grottnerhof Winery
The hotel concept also includes the private Grottnerhof Winery, located on a historical farm near the hotel. This is where the excellent wines are produced – Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Gewürztraminer – to be savoured by guests right in the restaurant.
Active Relaxation in the Heart of Nature
Romantik Art Hotel Turm is the ideal starting point for an active holiday. The 18-hole St.Vigil/Seis golf course, one of the most beautiful in the Alps, is located not far from the hotel. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity of the Sciliar Nature Reserve, which provides breathtaking views and unique flora and fauna. Moreover, many hiking and mountain bike trails wind around the hotel. And directly in front of the hotel, guests may board a bus and head to nearby Bolzano.
