A HOTEL OF TRADITION
AND HISTORY
We can rightly claim that our Romantik Hotel Oberwirt is not just one of the many hotels in South Tyrol: with such a long history to look back on, it is a hotel filled with tradition and values. The first historical references to “Jakob Wirt” and the “zur oberen Wirt” date back to 1496. Around 1600, a number of documents refer to the building as the “Oberwürth”.
The hotel changed hands a number of times in the years to follow. In 1749 the name “Waldner” appeared for the first time, founding the tradition of our family which continues to this day.

3 GENERATIONS OF THE
WALDNER FAMILY, UNDER ONE ROOF
When the Oberwirt was taken over by the Waldner family, it set out on a path which continues to this day. Over the course of a number of generations, the village guest house has ripened into a realm of leisure, pleasure and joy.
Courage, a spirit of innovation and foresight are the characteristics which the whole family shares; great-grandparents Martha and Franz Waldner had an abundance of this pioneering spirit back in the 1950 and 1960s when they renovated the Oberwirt. When their son Josef took over his parents‘ hotel in 1973, he laid the path for future generations and brought a touch of modern, contemporary luxury to the Oberwirt, always in harmony with the traditions of old.
Nowadays, daughter Barbara is at the helm of the new generation. Together, she and Sepp, the head of the house, are leading the Oberwirt into the future.
