Parkhotel Holzner

A Living Heritage Built at the turn of the last century and remarkably intact, the Holzner preserves its original Art Nouveau character through ornate façades, period interiors, and the unhurried spirit of a grand alpine retreat. Diligence, dedication, and a few fortunate coincidences, as the family openly admits, kept it from becoming a condominium or a chain hotel.
Mountain Refuge for All Generations For nearly 120 years the Holzner has been a place of joy and respite for guests of every age. Here, mindful leisure is celebrated as a virtue: one can play, feast, hike, relax, and marvel — depending on age, desire, and mood. Every guest, regardless of generation, is welcome to enjoy the good life with all their senses.
The Liberty Spa Inspired by the revolutionary spirit of Art Nouveau — the Stile Liberty movement that placed individual freedom and natural beauty at the core of modern life — the Liberty Spa is the hotel's contemporary sanctuary. It is something new within the old: a place of timeless relaxation built on beauty and dignity, in the heart of the Holzner.

The Holzner's dining celebrates the extraordinary produce of South Tyrol with the refinement befitting a house of this heritage:
Restaurant 1908
1908 is Hotel Holzner's Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant, open evenings only. Named after the hotel's founding year, it blends Jugendstil heritage with contemporary architecture by BergmeisterWolf. Chef Stephan Zippl crafts surprising dishes from the finest regional ingredients through his signature "Re:vier" cuisine.
Restaurant Holzner
The main dining room honours the region's larder — local cheeses, seasonal vegetables, game, and South Tyrolean classics — served beneath original Art Nouveau ceilings with the warmth that turns a guest into a friend.
Holzner Bar
A graceful retreat for aperitivo and evening conversation, offering a carefully curated selection of local wines, alpine spirits, and light refreshments in interiors of timeless character.

Parkhotel Holzner offers elegantly appointed accommodations that seamlessly blend Art Nouveau heritage with alpine comfort:
Classic Room Warm and well-proportioned rooms in traditional Alpine style, most with balconies overlooking the meadows and ancient park surrounding the hotel.
Superior Room Refined accommodations with enhanced space and period details, offering a deeper immersion in the architectural character of this 1908 landmark.
Junior Suite Generous chambers with a welcoming sitting area, combining classic Alpine warmth with the understated elegance that defines the Holzner's identity.
Panorama Suite The hotel's most coveted accommodations, with sweeping views across the Ritten plateau and the Dolomite peaks — a private balcony theatre of alpine light and landscape.

The Ritten plateau sits above Bolzano like a well-kept secret: cooler in summer, quieter in spirit, and blessed with a quality of light that has drawn painters and poets for generations. Its villages — Oberbozen, Collalbo, Soprabolzano — retain the unhurried character of a South Tyrolean summer resort from another era, largely because the plateau has never pursued mass tourism.

Hiking trails weave through larch forests and past the famous Ritten earth pyramids — extraordinary natural columns sculpted by erosion over millennia — with unimpeded views of the Dolomite horizon at every turn. The historic Rittner Bahn, a narrow-gauge railway operating since 1907, connects the villages of the plateau with a slow, scenery-rich charm of its own.

Bolzano, just 15 minutes away by cable car, offers a bilingual city where Italian and South Tyrolean cultures meet with remarkable grace. The old town, the Walther Platz, and the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology — home to Ötzi the Iceman — represent some of northern Italy's most rewarding cultural experiences, complemented by the exceptional wines of the surrounding Adige Valley.
