Hotel Jaufentalerhof

Residence Ambros, an extension of Hotel Jaufentalerhof in northern Italy, pays homage to the hotel owner’s, Dunja Girtler, great-grandfather, a notable resident of the “Jaufental” valley. Inspired by the traditional hay barns dotting the steep mountain slopes, the structure combines South Tyrolean tradition with modern alpine living.

The facade features massive larch logs arranged in overlapping layers, creating a monolithic yet permeable edifice that shields floor-to-ceiling glass facades behind it. This design allows for natural ventilation and stunning mountain views from all rooms. The building comprises two interconnected three-story structures with gable roofs, offering twelve exquisite 30m2 rooms and two attic suites. The interior design concept focuses on nature and elegance, utilizing locally sourced materials. The curtain fabric incorporates Loden, a typical Tyrolean wool, while the larch wood floors and furnishings come from the neighboring valley. Local porphyry stone is used for the washbasins, completing the cozy yet refined ambiance.
