Imperial Art Hotel

Merano (Meran)


Upstairs in what was once a belle époque coffee palace, this inconspicuous, luxurious hotel has 11 distinct artist-designed rooms – Tyrolean furniture morphs into neo-geo abstraction; velvet covers and dark-hued walls pay homage to the former Hotel Bristol; an armoire and walls emit an aluminium sheen. Room prices include a free day pass to the Therme Meran just across the river.
