Why we picked this hotel
You retain the intimacy of an eight-room inn while gaining complimentary access to the pools, saunas, steam room, gym, spa and yoga programme at nearby Hotel Schwarzschmied.
Hotel description
In Lana’s old centre, 1477 Reichhalter occupies a village inn whose walls have witnessed more than five centuries of South Tyrolean life. Limewash, original stone floors, antique pieces and handcrafted furniture preserve that history without turning it into a museum, while just eight rooms keep the atmosphere quiet, personal and closer to a private house than a conventional hotel. Come for slow breakfasts, orchard walks and the pleasure of staying somewhere woven into local life. Lunch and dinner bring Lana residents around the same rustic tables, while the pools, saunas and yoga of sister hotel Schwarzschmied wait three minutes away. This is for travellers who value food, authenticity and village rhythm over having every facility beneath one roof.
Hotel location
This is great
A 15th-century inn with a modern soul
Dating back to 1477, Reichhalter combines centuries of history with calm, contemporary design. The result feels timeless, understated and deeply connected to South Tyrol.
Honest food, rooted in the region
The restaurant focuses on seasonal ingredients and simple cooking done exceptionally well. Every dish reflects the philosophy of "real, simple, passion" that runs through the entire hotel.
Wellness without leaving the village
Guests enjoy complimentary access to the spa, yoga classes, guided hikes and wellness facilities at the nearby partner hotel Schwarzschmied, just a few minutes' walk away.
Perfect for exploring South Tyrol
Located in the centre of Lana, you're perfectly placed for hiking, cycling, wineries and day trips to Merano and Bolzano while enjoying a quieter village atmosphere.
A genuinely personal stay
With only eight individually designed rooms, the atmosphere feels intimate and relaxed. Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality and the feeling of staying somewhere truly personal.
Small details done exceptionally well
From locally sourced breakfasts to vintage furniture, Susanne Kaufmann amenities and yoga mats in every room, everything feels carefully considered without being overcomplicated.
Our take on the stay
Reichhalter feels embedded in Lana rather than separated from it. Locals arrive for coffee and lunch, guests descend for breakfast, and the old Gasthaus still functions as a genuine village meeting place.
