When you enter the Laurin Bar, listen carefully. If any place has its own melody, it’s this salon in the hotel. The arrangement is supplied by the creaking of the parquet floor, the rustling of newspapers, the footsteps of the staff, the muted voices of townsfolk who know it well, and the new arrivals who are still tuning in to the rhythm. Think of it as your audio interface between Bolzano and the world beyond.

It’s almost as if someone had adjusted the volume controls of the objects inside. If that sounds a bit exaggerated, wait until you stand on the carpet with the stave designed by hotel owner Franz Staffler himself.

You can’t go wrong in the Laurin Bar – especially when the week is drawing to a close and people’s spirits are rising. It begins on Thursday evenings with colourful cocktails, small Italian delicacies and DJ music at Aperitivo lungo. Fridays are for top-flight jazz, with musicians from Italy and around the world. And on Saturdays you can sit down and play the grand piano yourself – or listen to the pianists we select to ease you into your evening with Live Piano Music. On Sundays we serve brunch for late risers and early birds alike. What better way to get set for the week to come?
