Bolzano Christmas Market Tours and Activities

This hotel is listed as a parking-restricted area, but let me reiterate that this means driving-restricted. There is polizei directing traffic into the old city and they won’t let you in by car without proof of a hotel booking. After obtaining access, I ended up with my huge BMW in the middle of a crowd of people in Piazza Walther. The GPS was taking me around it but there were no signs on the street indicating I couldn’t drive there, and if there were I couldn’t read/understand them. The people were mad and cussing at me, but the polizei wasn’t. They laughed at my stupidity and said to drive through them but get out. Parking is public not private, accessed by a side street that leads to underground parking, for Hotel Greif and Hotel Stadt and others. I suggest not moving your car from whatever parking space you’re lucky enough to find initially and either walk around Bolzano henceforth or use public transit. The hotel rooms are old and small, but renovated beautifully and my view of Walther Square and the surrounding Alps was breathtaking. Breakfast in the morning was good, I would suggest for this luxury hotel to upgrade bread choices, service staff helpful, but the breakfast lounge was so crowded they had to overflow guests to the restaurant. I would also suggest programming within all booking apps the address to the PARKING and not the address to the hotel entrance. When we push “Directions” while driving in a crowded city we do not see specialized instructions

It was newly renovated, modern great service and breakfast

This is a beautiful property run by excellent staff who are very friendly. The restaurant for dinner provides amazing food at very reasonable prices with terrific ambiance. It is also very close (walkable) to where the gondola goes up into the Dolomites. We would highly recommend staying at this location
