What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Hotel Lamm is a design hotel that takes its South Tyrolean setting in a fresh direction.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The historic village square sits right outside the front doors, and trails lead up toward the Alpe di Siusi.
The rooms
Rooms have natural oak floors and private balconies that look straight toward the surrounding Dolomite peaks.
The pool and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop pool is heated to 30 degrees and looks straight toward the church tower, steps from quiet massage rooms.
The saunas and whirlpool
An outdoor whirlpool bubbles on the rooftop terrace, steps from a Turkish steam bath and Finnish sauna.
At the table
Lampl Stube serves alpine dishes with Mediterranean accents, and Zum Lampl pours South Tyrolean wines at street level.
How it began
An inn called Lamm has stood on Castelrotto's square since 1670. A 2018 rebuild replaced disjointed additions with dark, barn-inspired timber.
