Romantik Hotel Turm Review

At the very top of this medieval hamlet and modest mountain resort lies the Turm, a series of buildings dating in part to the 13th century that have served time as a tribunal, a prison, and an osteria. During blizzards, the whole village would come to the osteria and shut themselves in together to feast, play cards, and wait out the storm. This tradition gave rise to its role as an inn, which stands today as a collection of three towers and a "wagenhaus," sort of like an upscale garage, the most prized property today. Stefan Pramstrahler has gradually morphed this communal tradition into the modern concept of a "wellness" retreat to accompany the luxurious suites. Choose from hay baths (apparently a long-standing tradition), a massage on a heated stone bed, or a candlelight bath for two in the "emperor's" tub.

Facilities:
Tirolean restaurant; Stube bar; babysitting (book ahead); 3 free bikes; concierge; Jacuzzi; 2 pools (indoor and outdoor heated); room service; sauna; tennis courts (in town); extensive "wellness" center

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
