My Arbor - Plose Wellness Hotel

Only children love tree houses? Far from it, as the 4-star superior retreat My Arbor in Brixen proves.

Arbor means tree in Latin. So the name says it all. The hotel is located ten minutes from Brixen and yet you can experience pure nature here. In 2010, the plot of land for the My Arbor nature hotel near St. Andrä (at an altitude of almost 1,000m) was acquired directly on the Plose. Several architects submitted their ideas for the design of the hotel in a planning competition. Among them was the concept of a tree hotel, which was immediately convincing. Part of the building is raised from the ground - like a tree house - and is supported by pillars. This structure gives the impression of tree trunks on which the necessary rooms are arranged. Some of the rooms are up to 35 m from the ground, making them similar to a "nest" high up in the air.

Luxury in and from nature

Part of the wellness area is located on the 2nd basement floor - the sauna area with a direct outdoor area with outdoor sauna and outdoor whirlpool. The swimming area with a pool size of 18 x 6 m and a 10 x 6 m outdoor pool as well as the beauty and fitness area are located on the 1st basement floor.
The room categories are aptly named Nest, Hangout and Treetop Suite. The furniture is made of larch wood and the partially sunburnt old wood is reminiscent of imperishable times. Natural stone rounds off the visitors' expectations. Loden and linen were chosen for the textiles. In the entrance hall, in the double-height area, tree trunks hang from the ceiling and a bent footbridge winds its way through the hall.

Enjoyment around the clock

The world of indulgence is also a dream: Breakfast until noon. Or just a small snack in the morning. Then head out into nature to enjoy brunch to your heart's content afterwards. If you have a craving in the afternoon, guests can order something light from the club menu in the lounge. In the evening from 6:30 p.m., guests can be inspired by the five courses on chef Matthias Hinteregger's suggested menu or choose something from the "Evergreens" menu. Grissino has it all. Asian. Italian. South Tyrolean. Sushi. Fish. Meat. Vegetarian. Pizza. And to finish, something sweet from our own patisserie.
