One such place is The Brecon Adelboden, a hotel that is more than just accommodation. With its unique, detailed style, it is reminiscent of the aesthetics of a Wes Anderson film and transports its guests into a world that is both nostalgic and modern at the same time. Here, in the midst of the majestic Bernese Alps, classic elegance, living tradition and an almost magical tranquillity merge to create an atmosphere that redefines the concept of ‘home’.

The soul of the house

The hotel impresses with a stylish design that combines modern elegance with alpine charm. Warm wooden elements, subtle colour tones and carefully selected details create an ambience that is both luxurious and inviting. The mix of vintage furniture, geometric patterns and a soft colour palette is reminiscent of the set design of a Wes Anderson film and creates an atmosphere that is both artistic and cosy. Every room has been thought through down to the smallest detail, from ornate wallpaper to hand-picked decorative pieces that add a personal touch. In the communal areas, cosy lounges with plush armchairs, warm lighting and a curated collection of books and vinyl records create an intimate, almost cinematic experience. The result is a place where guests not only feel at ease, but can immerse themselves in another world – a world that is nostalgic, romantic and modern at the same time.

But it’s not just the rooms that make the hotel so special. It is the palpable passion of the hosts that gives every guest the feeling of being in the right place. The warm hospitality, the attention to detail and the endeavour to add a personal touch to every stay make all the difference. The Brecon is truly a jewel in the Swiss hotel landscape: an all-inclusive hotel for adults only. Not only are breakfast and dinner included in the price of a stay, but also an unlimited selection of cocktails and other drinks. This generosity creates a carefree atmosphere in which guests can fully relax.

The spa area is located on the second floor of the hotel, where guests can enjoy a selection of massages and aromatherapy treatments. The wood-panelled sauna and the cosy relaxation lounge, which is warmed by an open fireplace in winter, provide for pleasant relaxation. From here you can access the pool terrace, which in summer is ideal for an aperitif with a view of the imposing Adelboden massif. Another highlight is the converted nightclub in the basement, which now serves as a practical ski room for winter sports enthusiasts.

‘The kitchen at The Brecon emphasises high-quality ingredients and creative preparation. Guests can look forward to varied menus that combine local specialities with international influences.’

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Adelboden, the hotel offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether hiking, skiing or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air – every guest will find the right activity here. After an active day, the hotel’s comfortable lounges and wellness area invite you to relax.

The Parkhotel Mondschein is nestled in this impressive setting in South Tyrol, where the Dolomites tower like royal guardians and Alpine culture merges with the Mediterranean lifestyle. A hotel that is not only a place of tranquillity, but also brings stories of classic elegance, warm hospitality and contemporary comfort to life.

Historical heritage meets modern lightness

The Parkhotel Mondschein looks back on a long and eventful history. Once a meeting place for writers and artists, the hotel has retained its historical charm without remaining stuck in the past. A gentle renovation has preserved the essence of the building while adding a contemporary touch. High ceilings, original wooden floors and stylish details create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. At the same time, light-flooded lounges, artfully decorated lounges and a carefully curated collection of regional artworks invite you to discover every corner of the hotel. The interior skillfully combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements, reflecting the hotel’s vibrant history and creative soul.

The impressive building, which was built in 1320 as the first inn in Bolzano, is now a listed building. Its iconic white shutters and elegant stucco decorations make it a real eye-catcher. Extensions in the Belle Époque style from 1890 complement the historic character and create a special architectural experience that delights guests with wide corridors, high ceilings and ornate stucco details.

After extensive renovations in May 2022, the Parkhotel Mondschein shines in new splendor. A harmonious overall concept was created that captures the charm of the early 1960s and is reminiscent of cinematic moments from the golden age of Italian film. High-quality materials, warm lighting and midcentury accents lend the rooms a nostalgic yet modern atmosphere. With 76 rooms of different sizes – from cozy petite rooms to spacious suites – the hotel offers space for every requirement.

“Beautiful materials, good quality and intelligent design were the top priorities for the redesign. We wanted to create a place where people can relax and take time out. It doesn’t take much, but what little there is has to be first-class”

Moritz Dissertori, one of the two hosts at Hotel Mondschein.

The colour palette of soft greens, greys and browns harmonizes with the mountain world of the Dolomites and creates a pleasant ambience. The original herringbone parquet flooring has been carefully preserved, while the bathrooms have been redesigned with simple elegance in white and silver.

But the real heart of the Parkhotel is its garden. This green haven, framed by old trees and colorful flowerbeds, invites you to unwind. In the morning, enjoy a coffee outside while the first rays of sunshine kiss the Dolomites. In the evening, the garden is transformed into a magical place, illuminated by lanterns and filled with the scent of flowering plants. A paradise for romantics and nature lovers alike. After a day full of discoveries – be it a hike in the mountains, a trip to the charming old town of Bolzano or a bike tour along the vineyards – the spa area of the Parkhotel offers the perfect opportunity to relax. A sauna with panoramic views, soothing massages and an indoor pool ensure relaxation at the highest level.

The hotel’s own restaurant brings the diversity of South Tyrolean cuisine to the plate. Alpine ingredients such as mountain herbs and game meet Mediterranean classics such as olive oil and fresh tomatoes. The creative chef relies on regional suppliers and seasonal products to create authentic taste experiences. All of this is accompanied by an exquisite wine list, which naturally includes the best wines from the region.

Conclusion: A place that stays

The Parkhotel Mondschein is more than just a hotel – it is a place where time seems to flow more slowly, where every corner tells a story and where guests are more than welcome. Anyone who has ever stayed here will understand why this hotel holds a special place in the hearts of its visitors.

Originally a manor house, the Grand Hotel Son Net honours not only its own past, but also that of its legendary homeland, Mallorca. Each room and suite has been carefully restored and customised by interior designer Lorenzo Castillo to honour the island’s rich history. Each room tells its own story, from the influences of the Crown of Aragon to the Roman origins of the island.

The entire hotel is interspersed with ornate carpets, which are not only decorative elements, but also tell the story of Spanish carpet manufacturing from the Renaissance to the neoclassical era. Some of these are antique pieces, such as an opulent carpet from the Baroque era with motifs of flora and fauna.

The hotel lobby, inspired by the Gothic Belver Castle near Palma, transports guests back to the Renaissance era. The architecture is emphasised by the absence of unnecessary decorative elements, placing the focus on the solid stone floors, the vaulted ceiling and the white walls. The blue and green fabrics are inspired by the colours lapis lazuli blue and manganese green, which are fundamental to the furnishings of the Renaissance era.

“Castillo has created a harmonious mix between elegant design and a diverse cultural past”

The salon combines Mallorcan charm with baroque style. The striking vaulted ceilings, stone arches and wooden beams radiate the essence of a traditional Mallorcan palace and, together with the furnishings, create a real feast for the eyes. Elements such as two inlaid chests of drawers, typical Mallorcan landscape paintings and Chinese porcelain lamps create a relaxing overall atmosphere, while gold leaf ceiling consoles and wall ceramics recognise the island’s Arabic influences.

The hotel’s suites combine colourful and exotic fabrics and furniture specially designed for Son Net and are adorned with numerous paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Grand Suite Maria de Napoles, also known as the “Pineapple Suite”, mixes American influences with Mallorcan flair. Its exotic furnishings include a breathtaking chest of drawers lined with real mother-of-pearl. The Grand Suite Jaime I, on the other hand, blends medieval elements with modern design.

The Grand Hotel Son Net is more than just accommodation – it is a unique journey through the history, art and culture of Mallorca. Each room tells an individual story that captures the essence of Spain’s cultural heritage. The Grand Hotel Son Net on Mallorca reopens after winter break on 01 March 2024.
