Arthotel Lasserhaus - Adults Only

Arthotel Lasserhaus - Adults Only

Arthotel Lasserhaus occupies a house built in the 15th century, tucked into Brixen's Stufels artists' quarter, and some of its ten rooms look straight onto the Adlerbrücke bridge or Bressanone Cathedral, a few minutes' walk from the door. What sets it apart is what's inside: five artists, including Ingrid Hora and Peter Kogler, made work specifically for this building, from a beech-wood piece built into the wall of a guest room to a wine cellar wrapped floor to ceiling in printed vine forms. In 2024 the hotel was named among the sixteen most beautiful hotels in the world, announced at UNESCO. This suits a couple who want art and quiet over a pool and a kids' club: the property is adults-only, has just ten rooms, and takes breakfast a short stroll away at the Viertel Bar rather than on-site. A small Finnish sauna with whirlpool runs afternoons on the first floor, the restaurant Alter Schlachthof leans on local farmers' produce, and parking sits in a private garage nearby for a daily fee. Families travelling with children, or anyone wanting a big-hotel spread of facilities, should look elsewhere. Pets are welcome for a small charge, electric cars can plug in at the property, and an extra bed runs 45 euros a night. Come winter, the Plose ski area and one of South Tyrol's longest runs are minutes away by car or bus; in warmer months, Val Gardena and the Sella Pass are within reach for hikers. Check-in opens at three, checkout closes at half past ten. What stays with you afterward is not the room count but that someone commissioned art nobody else will ever see anywhere but here. A 15th-century house in Brixen's Stufels quarter holds ten rooms and art commissioned from five contemporary artists, work found nowhere else. Adults-only, breakfast a walk away, named among the world's most beautiful hotels in 2024. It suits couples chasing art and quiet, not families after amenities.
