In the hotel’s own words

Crisp alpine air flows down from above, mingling with the glorious Mediterranean sunshine: This historic hunting lodge combines two apparently incompatible worlds into an art of fine living.

Welcome to the Fragsburg

Michelin starred gourmet cuisine is just as much a part of life here as a simple, honest, homemade pasta dish. Step through the gateway and you leave everyday life behind to rediscover what it means to breathe. Lose yourself in the stunning mountain panorama to a glass of wine on the terrace. Or tune in to the sounds of nature as you recline on a canopy bed in the enchanted castle gardens. At the Fragsburg you collect moments of beauty rather than business cards. It is a place to enjoy life in its purest form. A place so unique it could be nowhere but here.

Some people call us a boutique hotel, others call us a luxury hotel, and then there are those who call us a hideaway. We see ourselves as a place of refuge. A place in which we artfully combine simple Alpine comfort with sensuous Mediterranean flair. A historic hotel that not only has its own sense of style, but also its own philosophy – that of fine living. This philosophy inspires people to take a closer look at things that seem familiar and to discover something new in them. Our 1st Alchemistic Healing Spa Castellum Natura offers rejuvenating treatments and specially created, freshly prepared care products that are based on ancient knowledge of South Tyrolean herbs and natural ingredients, handed down through the generations. The same philosophy is expressed in our 20 suites , each of which features a unique design, and in the steadfast character of our exquisite Michelin-starred gourmet cuisine, which is testament both to Merano’s bountiful natural surroundings and the personalities of our virtuoso chef Egon Heiss.

The Fragsburg pays homage to life and its many joys. We aim to inspire you to lighten up and join us in experiencing the fine art of unadulterated living. Take a hike in the magnificent Dolomites, stroll the streets of Merano just 15 minutes away or spend the afternoon lounging in the heated outdoor pool within the enchanted castle gardens. Time to live by your own rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two comes with every stay at this hotel - which could add $50-100/day in value, not counting any other VIP program benefits like room upgrades.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
