SHORT CHRONICLE OF THE HOTEL
After the railway to the South had been built in the year 1867, the necessity for a catering facility near the station was felt. Mister Johann Jarolim bought a site from the Imperial and Royal Administration of the Railways on condition that he should build a hotel. This happened in the year 1890. The hotel was called Hotel Bahnhof (Station Hotel). 1905 it was extended and 1912 another story was built. Since that time the hotel has assumed its present-day dimensions. During World War I Brixen/Bressanone was a major training area and the Austrian officer's mess was in the hotel. These were hectic times for the hotel and it was very busy day and night. On the occasion of the visit of the Queen Helen of Italy to Brixen on July 5, 1935, the hotel was given the name of the Italian royal dynasty "Savoia". During World War II German officers were accommodated and at the end of the war the hotel was occupied by American troops. After the war the name of the hotel was changed again and it is called now the Jarolim Hotel. On occasion of the disturbances in South Tyrol in the year 1961 the hotel was occupied again. This time for 6 years by a special unit of the Italian police. Afterwards the hotel has been renovated little by little so as to get its today's class.
