The Best Hotels to Book in Verona, Italy
It’s no surprise that Verona, the setting to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, is a popular destination for a romantic getaway. Regardless, whether you’re looking to escape into the nearby hills or join in the bustle of the city centre – with a loved one, friends, family or solo – there’s a great hotel waiting for you. Here’s our guide to the top hotels in Verona – bookable now with Culture Trip.
1. Grand Hotel Des Arts
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Taking inspiration from the real and imagined history of Verona, the Grand Hotel Des Arts delivers a stay immersed in the city’s cultural heritage. The hotel is located in an upscale neighbourhood that blends Verona’s past and present – from nearby designer shops to the Roman amphitheatre. The unison of old and new continues in the hotel itself, where traditional decor and a peaceful inner courtyard meet vibrant modern details and a lounge bar specialising in avant-garde cocktails.
2. ARK Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Bed and Breakfast, Inn
If you enjoy historical architecture when sightseeing but less so when sleeping, ARK Hotel is your perfect Verona stay. Sleek, super contemporary rooms are a lesson in minimalism, and are dressed almost entirely in white with accents of vivid colours. The hotel’s location on the Adige River also gives a sense of light and openness, and breakfasts are delectable in both quantity and quality.
3. Hotel Milano & Spa
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel, Hotel
Uncover the real Verona at the Hotel Milano & Spa. Take a city sightseeing tour on that quintessential Italian mode of transport, the Vespa, or discover the gourmet delights of Northern Italy in a cooking class with a local chef – all part of the hotel’s curated experiences. Back inside, modern luxe interiors offer a luxurious respite from the city streets, but the real jewel in the hotel’s crown is the Arena Sky Rooftop Bar and Restaurant – where you can drink and dine with vistas of the ancient Roman arena.
4. Hotel Aurora
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Is there a more famous balcony than the one where Juliet calls for her Romeo? At the Hotel Aurora, you’re just steps away from this famous spot. Eighteen authentically decorated guest rooms look out over the hotel gardens and the terrace offers breakfast with a side of sweeping city views. The Romanesque Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore – where Romeo and Juliet supposedly conducted their secret marriage – is also just outside the hotel door.
5. Hotel Mastino
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel, Hotel
Elegant modernity meets Roman opulence at the Hotel Mastino. Located just next to Verona’s Roman arena, guests can rest easy in contemporary rooms and delve into the history of the area with a trip to the Roman-inspired Paradise spa, set just 150m (492ft) from the main hotel building. Regional delicacies are on offer at breakfast, so make sure you have a good meal before you head out to explore Verona.
6. Sole Hotel Verona
Independent Hotel, Bed and Breakfast, Inn
This modern, comfortable hotel offers practical rooms for all types of guests, and is a great choice for anyone from business travellers to families. A 24-hour bar allows for refreshments on your own time and the hotel comes complete with a secure car park and extensive buffet breakfast.
