Designhotel Gartner

Italy’s South Tyrol is famous for high-altitude adventure, but you might find yourself wishing for a rainy day if you’re staying at Designhotel Gartner in Tirolo: you’ll need a break from the outdoors to properly explore the place. This boutique hotel, a striking structure built of glass, steel, and wood, doubles as a museum, featuring a modern art collection and design objects from Milan, London, and Paris. Natural light floods guest rooms with mid-century modern décor and pop art on the walls; all have private balconies or patios and products by Bottega Veneta. Highlights include indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with a snow room and saltwater steam bath, and a restaurant with a retractable glass roof.
