I'm the first review in English so don't want to be the one to bring everyone down about the Hotel…read morePark Laurin... but it may only deserve 4.632 stars, and here's why.
-No coffee before 7AM. Is wanting an early morning coffee an American thing? I want to get up at five, have some coffee and go down to the gym before the day starts. Maybe a little coffee maker in the room even?
-The hotel gym, while beautifully situated in this cool little converted room/free standing outbuilding deeper on the grounds, consisted of two or three cardio machines. No free weights, no weight machines.
-the Restaurant Park Laurin (again, in a BEAUTIFUL environment under a canopy on the grounds) was good but not great.
-The lobby was pretty sweltering when we first entered. (in June)
But enough minor complaints. Overall, the place was pretty awesome. Just old-school enough, very charming, spacious rooms, amazing grounds to walk around (see pix), all the staff were great, deluxe breakfast buffet.
The cocktail we had on the Laurin Bar patio overlooking the lush, green grounds made for one of the best moments of the 4 days in Bolzano.
