Parkhotel Mondschein: A Opulent Reworking in Bolzano

March 11, 2026

Years ago, Caroline Feiffer of Via Oltra shared an image of a yoga studio. It was set within vaulted historic walls, pared back, and unusually refined. The kind of space that would make any sedentary individual an instant convert. It belonged to Parkhotel Mondschein, located just outside of Bolzano, Italy.

Owned by brothers Klaus and Moritz Dissertori, whose wider portfolio includes 1477 Reichhalter in nearby Lana. Across their projects, the emphasis is consistent: adaptive reuse, architectural continuity, and interiors that favor material moderation over theme.

At Parkhotel Mondschein, the redesign of the listed 1330 building was developed with Merano-based Studio Biquadra, led by interior architect Chrsitina Biasi von Berg. Midcentury references balance the building’s older bones—preserving original parquet floors, high ceilings, and stucco while introducing refined finishes, dark woods, and a subtle thread of utility. Join us for a tour.
