A bold vision in timber and glass
Hotel Hubertus has long been known for its architectural innovation, with the latest redesign focusing on enhancing its wellness spaces. Perched dramatically on the slopes of the Dolomites, the hotel has unveiled a reimagined wellness space, anchored by a breathtaking panoramic sauna. Constructed with locally sourced timber, the sauna features an inverted gabled roof, seamlessly integrating with its mountain surroundings.

Reimagining luxury wellness
The region’s pristine, jagged limestone peaks provide a stunning backdrop, enhancing the tranquil ambience. The hotel, already famed for its 82-foot-long cantilevered Sky Pool introduced in 2016, ensures guests enjoy uninterrupted vistas from every part of the resort. Kronplatz, a prime ski destination and a summer haven for hikers, adds to the allure of the area.
Redefining social spaces
With a newly designed lobby bar and sauna, Hotel Hubertus has extended its use of minimalist design that prioritizes the landscape as the focal point. Marked by herringbone-patterned wood paneling, the sauna offers varying temperature rituals and treatments, with unrivaled views of the valley.

Harmonizing with nature
The resort’s enhancements reflect a commitment to blending contemporary aesthetics with the surrounding landscape. Markus Gasser, the co-proprietor, emphasizes that the redesign avoids traditional motifs, instead letting the natural beauty lead the experience.
From humble origins to innovative expansion
Originally a hunting retreat, the hotel has grown over five decades. Gasser notes the freedom to innovate due to its smaller operation size, with room numbers maintained under 75. This intimate scale allows for continuous innovation, ensuring loyal guests find something new with each visit.
“The design makes it a single architectural piece now,” says Gasser, reflecting on how these thoughtful enhancements complement the broader Italian alpine landscape instead of merely maximizing profits.
