Documents dating to 1288 reference an ‘Ortiseit Hof’ farm in the oldest part of St. Ulrich. After several changes of hands and names over the course of the years (Moritzen, Daverda, Adler) it was eventually established as an inn, and was pur-chased by Joseph Anton Senoner in 1810. The building re-mains under the ownership of the Senoner family to this day.

Today’s Hotel Cavallino Bianco is one of the oldest hotels in the valley, and has been welcoming travellers since the far-back 16th century. The hotel is first mentioned by the name of “Weisses Rössl” in the mid-19th century, when it was purchased by Johann Peter Lardschneider.

Today’s Hotel Angelo Engel on the old valley road has always been a hotel, and its roots date back to the 16th century.  Also known as Dëur Dessot, the Beché or the Unteruhrwirt, it is one of the oldest hotels in the village.

In 1896, extensive renovations included the addition of a dining room, veranda and garden. The Demetz family took over in 1913, and upgraded it to hotel status in 1950. The restaurant remained open for many years until the renovations of 2004, when it closed its doors for the last time.

The old Wirtshaus zu Ianesc inn (Vedl Ianesc, now the Margherita shop) dates back to the 16th century. Here, in 1679, master Baroque sculptors had a memorable altercation with the ‘dabblers’ of the trade, whose amateur works could all too easily ruin their reputation.

In the 19th century alone, the inn changed hands three times, before Kristian Schmalzl relocated it to a new building next door. Although the Gasthaus zur Traube remained in the hands of the family, was leased out to tenant management from 1907 onwards.
