Hotel Meranerhof

The spectacular, palatial hotel is situated in the heart of spa town Merano, surrounded by tiered, landscaped gardens and a shimmering lake, framed by jutting mountains and emblematic verdant villages. Art Nouveau-style rooms range from mountain view delights to suites with private balconies, gold sofas and chandeliers; the touch of luxury we’ve come to expect of Italy.

Come evening, gourmet offerings are held in a spectacular dining room; expect the likes of balsamic duck breast, veal steak and grilled sea bass. Like many hotels in Merano, Hotel Meranerhof is home to a spa, and its offering doesn’t disappoint. Expect a Finnish sauna and Roman steam bath, with the option to enjoy a luxury spa treatment overlooking the stunning landscaped gardens. Its fantastic location means there’s everything from hiking, skiing, walking, cycling and golfing right on the doorstep.
