Parkhotel Laurin
Bolzano, Trentino Alto Adige, Italy.
Although one of the most recently-built hotels featured on Nights in the Past, Parkhotel Laurin certainly makes up for its comparative lack of age with plenty of historic events and famous former guests. Construction of the building began in 1909, with its doors being opened to guests in August of 1910. In fact, the same family still own the hotel a century later.
Indeed, despite being a peaceful and popular place these days, this Art Nouveau-style hotel has rather a military theme to the most notable moments in its past. For example, it is said that Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were visitors during its early years – his later assassination in Sarajevo would lead to World War I. Moreover, in 1915 the building became the headquarters of the Austrian High Command for the southern front.
In 1935 the hotel was reputed to have been a meeting place of Benito Mussolini and Victor Emmanuel III - military operations taking place in Val di Non at the time.
Four-star rated, Parkhotel Laurin offers 100 rooms in all, and also features a restaurant and bar. Set at the heart of Bolzano, the city’s cathedral is just a short walk away.
