There is a special electricity in the air in Bolzano as Christmas Eve approaches. It is the moment when the city slows down and begins to glow. The streets are scented with cinnamon and pine resin, the squares echo with spontaneous toasts among friends, and every shop window becomes a chapter in a beautiful story.

It is the season for thoughtful gifts, soft wool sweaters, and that warm embrace that only a glass of mulled wine can provide while the frost bites the air outside.

Staying at the Laurin during these days means being at the very heart of the enchantment. It is your precious haven in the centre of the city: outside, the excitement of the Christmas markets and the search for the perfect gift; inside, the tranquillity of the heated pool and Finnish sauna in the park, a signature cocktail by the fireplace, the golden glow of decorations, and the soul of gospel music within our historic walls.

Treat yourself to the luxury of dwelling in the anticipation, including the weekend and savour a magical, cosy winter escape.
