The Alpenhof in Meransen, South Tyrol, has been renovated – and we have not only thought about walls and furniture, but about what really matters: the perfect holiday experience for families.

The challenge was clear: How do you create a hotel that provides ultimate fun for children without forgetting the parents? Many hotels strictly separate children's areas and adult areas, but we knew that the actual need lies elsewhere. Parents want to know their children are safe and happy, but they also want to relax, socialize, and enjoy themselves.

With architect Martin Gruber, we completely rethought the "problem areas" of the hotel. The biggest one? A bar that stood in the middle of the planned children's paradise. Anyone else would have removed it. We did not. Instead, we made it the center of the community. The bar was redesigned so that parents could always keep an eye on their playing children while they relax, have an Aperol, and connect with other parents. Windows provided views into the play areas, and the entire architecture encouraged encounters and exchanges – a place that fosters togetherness.

The result was magical. After the renovation, parents relaxed in the evening at the bar, baby monitors beside them, Aperol Spritz and beer in hand, while the kids played together in the ball pit. During the day, they met at a café while their children made new friends. But that was just the beginning: The hotel was enhanced with additional highlights that excite both parents and children alike. Cool events, a breakfast buffet specially designed for children, and a playful food concept that even makes children eager for broccoli.

A hotel for families must be exactly that – for families. Not just for kids. Not just for adults. But a place where everyone comes together, feels comfortable, and experiences real quality time. With this concept, the Alpenhof was not just renovated – it became one of the most thoughtfully designed family hotels in the world.
