Lana, South Tyrol, Italy
1477 Reichhalter
Authentic. Quiet. Defined by its kitchen.
A house that is more restaurant than hotel — and that is precisely its strength. Small, reduced, historic, but not nostalgic. The 1477 Reichhalter feels like a place that has grown over centuries: honest materials, old structures left deliberately visible, and a kitchen that defines the stay.

“Restaurant first — the hotel is the extension. The kitchen is not the offering, it is the reason to come. Regional, modernly interpreted, in a house dating from 1477.”
Our take
Why we love it
The house dates from 1477 — and was not polished in renovation, but deliberately left raw. Old structures, honest materials, no staging.
Restaurant first: guests come primarily for the food. The kitchen is regional, modern, focused — and you feel this in every course.
Only a few rooms — boutique in the genuine sense. No operation, no mass, no standardisation. Each room feels different.
Lana rather than Merano: quieter, more authentic, less touristic. The right location for this concept.
No spa — a deliberate decision. The focus is on food, atmosphere, and place. That is conviction, not a gap.
Dining
Food & Drink
The restaurant is the centrepiece — regional cuisine, modernly interpreted, with a curated wine selection and regional focus. Eating here is an experience, not an add-on. Guests often come primarily for the kitchen.
Spa & Sport
Wellness & Activities
No spa — a deliberate decision. The 1477 Reichhalter focuses on food, atmosphere, and the place itself. Those seeking wellness are in the wrong hotel. Those seeking quiet and cuisine are in the right one.
Your time here
What your days could look like
Wake late. Coffee in the historic house. A walk through Lana or a hike into the mountains. Regional wine at midday. In the evening, the real experience: table in the restaurant, multiple courses, slowly.

People
The Hosts
Family-run with a strong focus on gastronomy: restaurant first, hotel as extension. Less classic hotel operation, more curated place with a personal signature.
