Genuine
cordiality
cordiality
Come in, enjoy, have a great time! Arriving at Hotel Platz, you will be welcomed with an honest handshake and a sincere, contagious smile, having you feel like a long-awaited friend. Hand and smile certainly belong to Leopold, your dedicated host at Hotel Platz in Bulla. Supporting him, are elegant and charming Claudia, in charge of the front desk, and Leopold's brother Andreas, in charge of the cordial and relaxed service as well as hikes, bike- and ski-tours in the surrounding mountains.
Lively hospitality since 1410
Since 1410 Hotel Platz or - as it was called back then - the Platzhof farm has been a place of heartfelt hospitality. And 600 years of hospitality do not pass a place and the people living there without a trace. The whole house, the wide garden and above all Leo himself all radiate hospitality and the warmth of a place where you know you are welcome, where you immediately feel at home.
Place of true pleasures
Everybody knows South Tyrol, as well as beautiful Val Gardena with its bustling villages and the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of the magical Dolomites.
A place hardly anyone knows, however, is the small hamlet of Bulla, perched on the green hillside high above Ortisei, at 1,481 meters above sea level. As if it has fallen out of time, it lies dreamily amidst woods and meadows facing Seceda, Sass Rigais, Fermeda and the Geisler peaks. And right in the middle of Bulla, on the village square, you will find the hotel and restaurant Platz: a place of relaxation and honest pleasures.
Leo's Top 7
Shhh, can you keep a secret? The hotel and restaurant Platz is the insider tip for all Dolomite-lovers who long for more than a holiday-optimized all-round offer. Or should we say: for less? Leo knows a thing or two about that: He knows that you can leave the hustle and bustle behind and simply be; that you can experience the beauty when you let your eyes wander; and that sometimes you should let your hair down and celebrate when you get the chance, thus bringing lightness and happiness into your life. Let Leo show you his Top 7 for unforgettable experiences in and around Hotel Platz.

High above the Dolomites
01Heavenly happiness
Bulla is located right in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites, which to us are the most beautiful mountains in the world. And from above, even the most experienced Dolomites-connoisseur's heart will skip a beat in the face of the impressive beauty of the rugged mountain peaks. For our guests, we gladly organize helicopter sightseeing flights over Alpe di Siusi, Sciliar and Catinaccio, around the Sassolungo Group to Sella and Puez-Geisler, followed by an aperitif on the Stone-Pine-Lounge roof terrace.
Sunrise over the mountaintops
02Dazzling beauty
Alpe di Siusi, the breathtaking Val Gardena and the Dolomites are lying sleepily in blue twilight. Then the sun rises behind the jagged ridges, and you might let a cry of joy slip out or get a lump stuck in your throat, overwhelmed with the beautiful awakening of the surrounding mountains. From Bullaccia, the view reaches far in all directions, and the incredible aurora spectacle is definitely worth the climb from Bulla in the dark. But don't forget your headlamp.
On the trail of earth's history
03Close-up geology
The Geotrail Bulla, opened in 2011, offers unhurried hikers the welcome opportunity to learn more about the fascinating origins of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites. This pleasant two-hour circular hike with the magnificent view of the surrounding mountains can be reached by foot directly from Hotel Platz. Hooray!
Let your spirits flow at the campfire
04Soothing elements
Chirping crickets, blue shimmering twilight, laughter emanating from the nearby restaurant... then Andreas starts a crackling fire in the fire bowl on the terrace. He knows that evenings like these need to be enjoyed to the fullest. What could be better than lounging in a comfortable chair, looking at the Geisler peaks, a fine glass in your hand and the energizing crackle of the fire in your ear, knowing full well that all's right with the world around here? Exactly: Nothing at all.
Take the E-Bike to Alpe di Siusi
05Speedy adventures
It you love exercise and want to see as much as possible of the magnificent mountain scenery around Alpe di Siusi, then you should hop on an e-bike and start directly from Hotel Platz, biking up to the nearby largest alpine pasture in Europe. The many possible routes offer something for every biker's taste, and e-bikes can be rented on site. Our bike-guide Andreas will gladly help you find the ideal route for your requirements and, on request, accompany our guests on great tours.
Sing, dance, love, laugh...and be happy!
06Celebrate good times
That's Leo's motto. Because if you carry the peace and tranquility of Bulla and the Hotel Platz in your heart, you can let your hair down and celebrate life without hesitation. The Aperitivo Lungo on the Stone-Pine-Lounge roof terrace is laid-back, and everyone is welcome: Cosmopolitans on holiday mingle with mountain farmers, and adventurous alpinists meet elegant globetrotters. The world is colorful and beautiful, just as we like it at Hotel Platz.
Breathtaking sundown
07Rewarding afterglow
After an exciting bike day or a stimulating hike across Alpe di Siusi, we recommend you visit the Williamshütte mountain cabin, located right under Sasso Piatto mountain at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Famous for its breathtaking 360° views, the sunset dips the South Tyrolean mountains into incredible red and pink hues, while the sky lights up in bright oranges and pinks. A spectacle that's sure to crown even the most beautiful day of your holiday.
The world meets in Bulla and returns to everyday life with unforgettable experiences. That is what I stand for!

Glorious morning
So, you're sitting in the bright dining room with its original terrazzo floors and the panoramic view of the Gardena Dolomites, the woods and meadows of Bulla and you are happy. The scrumptious aroma of breakfast delights in the air has you looking forward to fresh bread, homemade jams and pastries, dairy and cold cuts from local producers and freshly prepared eggs from happy free-range chickens. And because it tastes just as good as it smells, you are excited to have another glorious day at Hotel Platz. And maybe you're even one of our lucky guests who have booked half board and you are already looking forward to dinner.
Great-aunt Tresl's famed recipes
In the afternoon, we serve great coffee and homemade fruit juices in our cozy guest room and on the wonderful, sunny terrace. Our forte, however, are divine pastries, fine cakes and sweets. Our bestseller is the apricot pie, which Leo lovingly bakes according to Grandma Kasslatter's secret recipe. Later in the afternoon, some of our neighbors will drop by, enjoy their refreshing after-work beer and play cards with like-minded people. The Café at Hotel Platz is, just like the rest of the house, a place of encounters, simple pleasures and good living.
A potful of joy
The culinary concept at Hotel Platz is very simple: Good food must make you happy, only then has the cook has fulfilled his duty. This concept helps Leopold and his kitchen staff to refine and reinterpret authentic recipes from the South Tyrolean and Mediterranean cuisine, and they don't need any frippery to create really good dishes. Only the best local products end up in their cooking pots. That's why in the Platz's vegetable garden you will often see a cook harvesting: herbs and seasonal vegetables come straight from our garden onto your plate. Let yourself be served and you will find happiness, and at Hotel Platz happiness comes on every plate from our kitchen.

Dreamlike relaxation
The spa area at Hotel Platz has been called small and smart, and that is fine with us, because that's exactly how we want it to feel. Comfy loungers and armchairs invite you to indulge and relax in the relaxation rooms, one cozily furnished with wood, the other with a wonderful view of Val Gardena and Seceda. After an invigorating hike or an exciting day on the ski slopes, you can sweat in the Finnish sauna, the infrared cabin and the panorama sauna, while the whirlpool invites you to enjoy relaxing moments of pleasure. We remain true to our motto and offer wellness without frills for true relaxation.
Active experiences
Some people love to measure themselves against the mountains: Whether on bike or on foot, they want to climb the highest peaks, they want to reach their limits on skis and sledges. Others find peace and quiet in the rock formations of the Dolomites, they want to enjoy the South Tyrolean landscape. There is plenty of room for both at Hotel Platz: hikes that start in front of the hotel, the alpine pastures and peaks around Val Gardena, the extensive range of leisure activities in nearby Ortisei, pleasant walks and the most attractive ski slopes in the Alps are all in the immediate vicinity... and then, back at Hotel Platz, you can take a refreshing jump in the cool water of the pool or warm up in the panoramic sauna.

True summer retreat
The opportunities to experience and move in the wonderful South Tyrolean nature are plentiful. But the special thing about Hotel Platz is something else: nature and forests all around, quiet peaks and clear nights, old tree giants in the spacious park that provide pleasant shade... Thus we have become professionals in idleness: Lying quietly by the pool, or maybe doing some laps in the pool for refreshment; getting lost in a good book lounging on a deck chair in the chestnut alley; letting your eyes wander on Seceda on the new Stone-Pine-Lounge terrace; and listening to the chirping of crickets and the soothing rustling of trees at night. By joining the idleness, you will reconnect with yourself and your own needs. And henceforth, you will carry a piece of Bulla in your heart and into the world.
Impressive winter delights
The peaks of the Dolomites and the most beautiful ski slopes in the Alps are just around the corner: be it the Dolomiti Superski ski region, which combines 175 km of slopes guaranteed to have snow, or the Alpe di Siusi skiing area, which offers wide and gentle slopes for pleasure-oriented skiers. Hotel Platz is located right between the two prestigious winter sports areas, with the public ski bus stop right at our front door! With the ideal location, close to the wonderful ski spectacle and yet far away from the hustle and bustle of winter tourism, you will be spoiled for choice: Do you want to experience skiing adventures, enjoy a leisurely winter hike, relax in the spa or simply unwind on the oven bench, a steaming cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other? Let us reassure you: at Hotel Platz you don't have to decide, because here you can have it all.
