"When a classic European hotel undergoes a boutique renovation, there’s always a danger it’ll lose touch with its roots, that it’ll throw out the old-world baby with the faded-wallpaper bathwater. It’s something that clearly concerned Franz Staffler, the owner of Bolzano’s Hotel Greif, but judging by the results — accomplished with the help of the noted Viennese architect Boris Podrecca — the Greif has kept its heritage, even as it’s modernized its aspect." - Tablet Hotels
