Palace Merano

Set within a spacious park, Palace Merano exudes warmth, elegance and hospitality. The stylish ensemble of the main building and historic palace combines classical architecture with modern comfort. The two buildings are connected by a passageway, and both have lift access to the spa. In the harmonious setting of this five-star hotel, a holistic treatment programme brings body and mind into balance and supports lasting health. An experienced team of experts accompanies guests at every step towards greater vitality, inner balance and a more mindful lifestyle.

Nestled between majestic mountain peaks and Mediterranean vegetation, Merano combines alpine freshness with a southern feel and up to 300 days of sunshine a year. Numerous promenades and historic irrigation channels make for relaxing walks, while Therme Meran and the old town are just a few minutes from Palace Merano. Whether you enjoy hiking, winter sports or cultural discoveries, the surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities to unwind and stay active in a unique setting.

Palace Merano has two restaurants serving dietary cuisine and a lounge bar with a tea bar for evening entertainment. The Medical Spa philosophy is also reflected in the drinks menu, which supports a stay in harmony and balance. Herbal teas, barley coffee and healthy mocktails give structure to guests’ days, turning every break into a simple act of self-care. For this reason, neither alcoholic drinks nor soft drinks are served, in keeping with the wellness experience on offer. The day begins with natural energy from freshly prepared fruit salad, herbal tea and barley coffee. Lunch and dinner follow the principles of mindful, light eating, bringing together freshness, flavour and nutritional value. Carefully composed dishes featuring seasonal vegetables, pulses, wholegrains and plant-based protein offer balance and enjoyment. Elegant attire is requested in the evenings. On New Year’s Eve, dinner is extended with additional courses.

The holistic detox nutrition concept complements the treatment programmes with cleansing, detoxifying cuisine that is also a pleasure to enjoy. Fresh, seasonal and predominantly vegetarian ingredients are used to create finely balanced dishes whose natural flavours are enhanced with herbs and spices. The detox menu excludes meat, salt, refined products and dairy, focusing instead on mineral- and vitamin-rich foods with a neutral pH. It also includes a “liquid diet day”. As an alternative, the Biolight menu offers light, healthy dishes with fish, poultry and white meats, inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. A consultation takes your individual eating habits into account and uses them to create a personalised nutrition plan that supports a balanced lifestyle during and after the treatment programme.

The wellness area is open daily from 8 am to 8 pm and covers around 1,800 m². It features an indoor pool (approx. 16 x 7 m, approx. 29°C), a summer outdoor pool (31 x 13 m, heated to approx. 26°C) with a pool bar, a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, Kneipp path and a separate wet area for women.
