HISTORY & TRADITION

ADLER: Looking back, looking forward

Come with us on a journey through time

First look around and then look ahead. Make your way and strike bold new paths through the world with open eyes. Drive developments forward and never lose sight of tradition. These principles have always been our credo and for more than two centuries have brought us to where we are today.

The year was 1810 when Josef Anton Sanoner acquired an inn in what was then the small mountain village of Ortsei. Spanning seven generations and turbulent times, “Der Adler” – as it was popularly known – evolved into what is now the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI, celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2010.

“200 years of passion for the hotel business – and we won’t be stopping anytime soon!”

From year to year, from hand to hand
At the beginning of the ’80s, the two brothers Andreas and Klaus Sanoner are the 6th generation to take over the fate of the ADLER. Together with their wives Verena and Karin, Andrea and Klaus built on the long tradition, not only continuing the legacy but also breaking completely new ground. And so, with the fading of the ‘80s, a breath of fresh air enters the venerable walls of the ADLER bringing copious amounts of dynamism into the family business. The development towards today’s ADLER Spa Resorts & Lodges now takes its course.

Our houses
In addition to the main ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI in Val Gardena, the ADLER Spa Resort THERMAE in Tuscany opens in 2004 under the brand name of ADLER Spa Resorts & Lodges; in December 2008 the ALDER Spa Resort BALANCE in Ortisei and in July 2014 the ADLER Lodge ALPE on the Alpe di Siusi open. In 2016, the Tenuta Sanoner opens its doors in Tuscany. The opening of the ADLER Lodge RITTEN on the sunny Renon plateau in South Tyrol is planned for June 2019.
