What’s the point of a park in bloom if no-one can see it? At the Laurin, we open white sun sails and serve light dishes with a Mediterranean flair. Isn’t that what summer is for?

On 4,000 square metres, plants from all over the world have congregated here for 150 years. Giant redwoods, Himalayan cedars, Himalayan pines and yew trees tower above bowwood, cherry laurel, ginkgo and wintersweet. On one tree, the most exuberant rose in the Alps ascends to lofty heights. How far will it go?

The Laurin Park is in love with life. In summer, we move the Bar outdoors.
When evening comes, the locals feel like they’re on holiday too. Come and immerse yourself in the latest talk of the town – or drop by Aperitivo Lungo on Thursdays for chillout music with a selection of DJs.

Owner Franz Staffler has an eclectic approach to art. As a patron and collector, he buys what he likes. Among other things, a stroll round the park reveals a huge bronze head, a single rubber hand, a red steel loop and several elephants. If you want to unwind, just count the elephants.
