Situated on a sunny high plateau above Merano/Meran, the Miramonti Boutique Hotel has been a stylish place for nature and design lovers for many years. Originally opened in 1932 as a small inn with just three rooms, Carmen and Klaus Alber have renovated and extended the hotel in several stages since 2012: A modern extension (The Owners’ House) was added to the main house and the old façade was harmonised with the simple elegance of the new part of the building. The Sky House, a cube built into the rock with an extraordinary guest room, was added later. In autumn 2024, the ensemble was finally completed with the Monti House – three interconnected, individually designed wooden houses created by South Tyrolean designer Harry Thaler.
The designer was inspired by the original history of the Miramonti when designing the Monti House, which is located around three hundred metres from the hotel, right on the edge of the forest. The three spruce-clad cubes echo the traditional construction methods of South Tyrol and combine them with modern elements and clean lines. There is also a lot of wood in the interiors; the locally quarried volcanic stone porphyry gives the bathrooms and kitchens a reddish colour. The specially designed, simple furniture, lighting and fixtures emphasise the effect of the large window fronts, which showcase the interplay of light and nature.
The rest of the Miramonti’s 47 rooms are designed in six different styles using natural materials: sometimes with midnight blue walls, sometimes with wood panelling or cement clay plaster. Every detail has been carefully thought through, the interior is minimalist, simple and high-quality. Large-format, frameless panoramic windows connect the interiors with the surrounding meadows and forests. The spectacular view of the peaks of the Merano Texel Group and the Adige Valley also accompanies guests as they swim in the saltwater infinity pool, in the forest sauna or in the relaxation centre.
The restaurant on the ground floor also creates an almost Nordic-Japanese flair with its simplicity and use of natural materials – and also offers authentic culinary delights: from slow food in the panorama restaurant to traditional South Tyrolean cuisine in the historic parlour.




What to do
In summer, there are countless hiking trails, whether in the forest, on the mountain or in the gardens of Trauttmannsdorff Castle. In autumn, South Tyrol attracts visitors with the grape harvest and the regional custom of ‘Törggelen’. And in winter, you can go skiing, winter hiking, tobogganing or ski touring in the nearby Merano 2000 ski area.
Why we like this house

This house is great for
Nature and design lovers, anyone seeking relaxation, food-lovers.
