5 Nights in Bolzano in Mid October for Solo Female Traveler

I’m taking a 10 night trip to Italy; the first half I plan to stay in Bolzano. I’ll be flying into MXP. The second half will be in Milan as I already started a thread about that.

I’m looking at 4 hotels from RS’ most recent Italy travel guide: Parkhotel Laurin, Hotel Greif, Stadt Hotel Città, & Hotel Figl.

They are all walking distance from the train station & have double rooms. While cost is always a consideration, which can any of you recommend from your own experiences? Do any of these include a visitor card that includes transportation within the Dolomite region including cable car up the mountains? That could be a ludicrous question but I thought I’d ask! I have emailed all 4 asking for their best rate.

Thank you!

Hello,
Our family of 5 adults stayed in Bolzano during the RS Alpine My Way tour in June of 2024. Our fabulous luxury hotel was Stadt Hotel Città. Most amazing hotel I've ever stayed ~ with top notch service. The restaurant was incredible and the concierge personnel were outstanding. However, for location to the Dolomites, it was about a 45 minute bus ride on twisty-curvy roads. The hotel offered a card for the area plus bus transportation. With that being said, I will only stay in Castelrotto from now on when visiting the Dolomites. Extremely close proximity to the lifts and a charming, beautiful town.

Enjoy!

Mitzi, isn’t there a cable car in Bolzano that climbs a mountain called the Ritten cable car? I would not like that bus ride!

Great trip report, Bradamant.
