Bolzano’s accommodation spans Art Nouveau grand hotels, Alpine design boutiques, and budget-friendly guesthouses. The old town commands the highest prices but puts you steps from every major sight. Gries and Oberau offer better value with only a short walk or bus ride to the centre. Here is a breakdown by area with specific hotel recommendations and verified Booking.com links. For more detail, see our Bolzano travel guide.
Where to Stay in Bolzano: Old Town (Centro Storico)
The old town is the most convenient base, with hotels lining Piazza Walther and the surrounding medieval streets. You will pay for the location: double rooms range from 150 to 350 euro in high season. Book 3 to 4 months ahead for December (Christmas Market) and August. Most buildings have no lift and no on-site parking; public garages charge 18 to 22 euro per day. For more detail, see our Bolzano weather by month.
