Classification of hotel establishments

The classification consists of the recognition of the name, specific type and requirements possessed by each hotel establishment.

In relation to type, hotel establishments (which are divided into hotels, hotel garnìs, tourist hotel residences, hotel villages and condhotels) are classified into five levels, marked in descending order by 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 stars. Establishments classified with three and four stars may be given the additional term'superior' when they meet specific quality parameters set out in the implementing regulation.

To obtain the classification, the hotel establishment must meet

• the minimum requirements set out in Article 8 of Provincial Law 7/2002;
• the functional structural and accessory parameters provided for in Table A, art. 39 of Provincial Law 7/2002.

Classification is compulsory and is a prerequisite for exercising the activity.

The application may be submitted by owners and managers of hotel establishments

To request the classification of the hotel establishment, a special request must be sent, necessarily indicating the relevant technical plans, to the email address ufficio.ricettivita.professionitur@provincia.tn.it.

The reference officer of the competent office (tel. 0461-493179email:martina.saltori@provincia.tn.it) will provide support in filling in the self-classification declaration.

This declaration must be submitted for new establishments and to report all changes in the classification elements even if they do not involve changes in the classification level or type.

In the case of the classification of a condominium-type hotel establishment, the procedure concludes with a classification decision by the provincial manager responsible for tourism and not with a letter declaring the classification's effectiveness.
