The property retains a traditional South Tyrolean character, with a common lounge in local style and an outdoor terrace where guests can relax.

Room types

Hotel Isabella offers a range of rooms, from singles designed for solo travellers to classic and superior double rooms, up to spacious family suites with several separate rooms designed for groups and larger families. All room types with a private bathroom include toiletries, while most rooms feature a balcony overlooking the inner garden and a flat-screen TV; the superior versions add air conditioning and, in one case, a bathtub instead of a shower.

Room sizes vary widely, from the 21 m² of the standard rooms up to the 70 m² of the largest family suite, which can accommodate up to five people between sofa beds and a double bed. Some simpler rooms, without the extra features of the superior rooms, remain a budget-friendly option for those looking for just an essential base for their nights in Merano.

Location & what to see

Hotel Isabella is located in a residential area of Merano, along Piavestraße, a short distance from the heart of the South Tyrolean spa town. The neighbourhood is quiet but well connected, with bars and small restaurants just a few steps away: the Smile trattoria and the Pinguì gelato shop are just 30-50 metres away, while other venues such as Bar Cristina and Kofler can be reached in a few minutes on foot.

The Terme di Merano thermal baths and the historic centre can be reached in about a ten-minute walk, while the Meranarena ice rink is just 350 metres away. Buses stop right in front of the property, with direct connections to the rest of the city, and Merano railway station is about 1.3 km away. Bolzano Airport is about 25 km away, a useful option for those arriving by plane.
