The five room types at Hotel Zima share a classic-style decor, with carpeted floors, wooden furniture and views of the mountains surrounding Merano. Each room has a private bathroom with tub or shower and a flat-screen satellite TV, while most also offer a private balcony overlooking the garden.
Sizes range from 11 square metres for the Single Room, designed for solo travellers, to 20 square metres for the Double Room with Balcony and Garden View, the largest in the property. The Twin Room with Balcony is suited to two people who prefer separate beds, while the other double room options are distinguished mainly by the presence or absence of a balcony and by their exposure towards the garden.

The smallest of the available rooms, designed for solo travellers. At 11 square metres it still offers a private bathroom and flat-screen satellite TV, with views of the garden and surrounding mountains.
A 17 square metre double room, the only one among the couples’ options without a balcony: the windows look directly onto the mountains and the garden. A private bathroom and satellite TV complete the amenities.

Hotel Zima is located on Via Winkel, in a quiet residential area of Merano, a short distance from the famous Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens and the district home to some of the city’s most visited attractions. Despite the green, relaxed surroundings, Merano’s historic centre remains reachable within a few minutes.
The property is about 550 metres from the Trautmannsdorf restaurant and just 600 metres from the Trauttmansdorff Castle Gardens and the Touriseum, the museum dedicated to the history of tourism in South Tyrol. Merano railway station is about 2.5 km away, while Bolzano Airport is 24 km away, convenient for those arriving by car or private transfer. Merano’s centre, with its arcaded streets and the Princely Castle, is about 1.7 km away.
The area is ideal for those wanting to combine relaxation and outdoor activities: from the Sissi Gardens to Maia Park, via the Tappeiner Promenade, there is no shortage of options for walks and hikes. In winter the slopes of Val Senales and Merano 2000 are easily reachable, while in summer the Parcines Waterfall, about 9 km away, and the trails around Merano offer numerous trekking possibilities. For culture lovers, the Princely Castle, the Powder Tower and the Merano Arte museum round out an offering that combines nature and local history.
Reviews particularly praise the staff, rated 9.9, and cleanliness, at 9.5. The location is also highly appreciated, rated 9.2 by couples. Value for money, though solid at 9.1, comes across as the slightly less exceptional aspect compared to the rest.
