About Hotel Adria

Hotel Adria brings an Art Nouveau building into a new era with its perfect blend of classic interiors and modern comforts. Think parquet floors, and vintage furniture. The attention to detail is incredible and it’s instantly a place where you feel at home.

We love heading straight for the spa when we arrive here. There’s a modern indoor pool with hydro-massage fountains, Turkish bath, hot tub, salt steam bath and whirlpool. The spa area has views of the gardens that surround the hotel. The Mediterranean sauna is amazing and has the most peaceful, calming atmosphere. We could spend all day switching from spa room to spa room.

Food's an incredibly important part of Italian culture and the Adria embraces that whole-heartedly. The breakfast here is out of this world, with slabs of honey comb and bottles of prosecco, they really spoil you! Expect home-made pastries for breakfast and if you upgrade to half board you'll have gourmet five course dinners at the five-star sister hotel Park Hotel Mignon, just down the road.

If you’d rather get straight out and explore the town, the centre's just a 15-minute downhill walk away. You'll definitely get your steps in walking back up to the hotel after your day in town! The hotel's ideal for keen walkers and ideal if you're looking for a combination of exploring on foot and discovering the local culture.

Relaxing spa

The spa is incredibly relaxing and has four therapy saunas, steam room and whirlpool, emotional shower, aroma room and a wonderful relaxation area looking out onto the garden. If you want to treat yourself even more, book yourself a massage or beauty treatment (payable locally).

The panoramic restaurant overlooks the gardens and is a great spot for a hearty breakfast before a day of exploring. Breakfast is amazing and includes hot options like bacon, local sausages and eggs. Freshly brewed coffees, teas and delicious fruit juices are also available. It even has a prosecco bar, a fresh orange juice machine and slabs of fresh honeycomb!

If you upgrade to half board you'll have dinner at the five-star sister hotel Park Hotel Mignon, just a 10-minute stroll down the road. It's a wonderful culinary experience with a five-course menu; the desserts are also delicious so make sure you leave some room!

Known for its radon springs and spas, Merano is surrounded by mountains that come alive in summer with colourful wildflowers, crystal-clear streams and verdant vineyards and forests.

More about Merano

Things to do in Merano

Merano's thermal baths are the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of walking in the mountains. At the spas you'll find everything from Finish saunas to steam rooms, plus 25 pools, each unique in it's own way. Be sure to make use of the outdoor pools, some of which have wonderful mountain views- dreamy!

In the summer Merano's full of live music concerts and entertainment, which liven up the streets. There's a programme of classical, traditional, pop, jazz and more taking places throughout the sunny months, in some fantastic locations. Many concerts are held al fresco in the Trauttmansdorff Botanical Gardens, or you may stumble across musicians in the main square. For a more glamorous concert, why not book one at the Kursaal, Merano's beautiful main concert hall and treat yourself to a glass of local sparkling wine to enjoy before the concert.

This region is well known for its wine thanks to its Mediterranean climate. Orchards and vineyards line the mountains and stretch down to the town. We recommend visiting Castel Rametz, a wine museum where you can take a guided walk around the ancient Roman wine cellar and try the delicious wine. 

Cycling is a great way to see the area. Dedicated bike paths make it easy for families to head out exploring. Be sure to take your camera to capture the amazing scenery as you go.

The botanical Trauttmansdorff Gardens cover 12 hectares and feature plants and flowers from all over the world in over 80 garden landscapes. From Merano, you can easily reach the gardens on foot by following Sissi’s path.

The empress of Austria, Elisabeth, enjoyed taking long walks through Trauttmansdorff, which was her summer residence. The walk to the gardens along Sissi’s path is 3.2 kilometres and passes through 11 stages, each with a story to tell. The path travels from the castle and winds down to the park. The path pays homage to Elisabeth in its name and is home to a statue of Sissi.
