Anders Mountain Suites
Cantilevered alpine suites
Cantilevered alpine suites
Seven two-storey suites jut out over the mountain slope, built for just fourteen guests at 1,850 metres.
“Tyrolean architect Martin Gruber showcases a new version of minimalist mountain chic with a very contemporary cantilevered design of natural woods and concrete.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Architect Martin Gruber shaped the cantilevered concrete and spruce structure into the mountain.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Anders Mountain Suites is a seven-suite luxury boutique hotel, built from the bones of what was once a less distinguished 50-room hotel.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Plose's ski slopes surround the building at 1,850 metres, switching to alpine hiking paths once the snow melts.

The rooms
Spruce-lined interiors look straight out toward the Dolomites, and each suite includes its own private Finnish bio-sauna.
The spa
At the table
Andreas Plattner cooks alpine dishes with Mediterranean touches, served beside an open fireplace or out on the panoramic terrace.
A distinct exterior of brushed spruce wood and cement encloses warm interiors that reflect the surroundings: untreated spruce, cement floors, and large windows that connect you to the Alpine landscape.
How it began
Andreas Plattner demolished his family's 1960s hotel on this slope, replacing the 50-bed lodge with just seven sculptural suites.
