If you’re not sure where to stay in Verona, Hotel Accademia should be at the top of your list. It’s luxurious, it’s stylish, and it’s the kind of place where you’ll feel like royalty—without the royal budget.
Verona—it’s not just about Romeo and Juliet, though they’ve hogged the spotlight for a few centuries.
This city is all about grand gestures: colossal Roman amphitheaters, piazzas packed with locals sipping spritzes, and streets that look like they were designed by an overachieving architect on a caffeine binge.
And if you’re planning to immerse yourself in all that Verona drama, here are three fantastic places to stay.
Hotel Accademia
Hotel Accademia is where Verona’s history meets proper comfort. This place is practically a museum, with a backstory tied to Giovanni Zenatello, the guy who turned Verona Arena into the global opera hotspot it is today. Oh, and apparently Maria Callas stayed here, which is either an intimidating fact or a bragging right depending on your point of view.
The rooms have this classic-meets-modern vibe—antique charm without the creaky floorboards. The breakfast buffet? Let’s just say they understand the importance of starting your day with an embarrassing amount of food on your plate. And the staff? They could teach a masterclass in hospitality, always ready to help without hovering awkwardly like a butler in a period drama.
Its location is absurdly convenient—you’re minutes from Juliet’s balcony and Piazza delle Erbe. So, no excuses for not exploring every corner of the city. View room gallery >>
Hotel Milano & SPA
Hotel Milano & SPA has one of those rooftop terraces that makes you audibly say “wow” even if you’re alone. It’s got a hot tub, panoramic views of the Arena, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to sip Prosecco even if it’s 10 a.m. (which is fine—it’s Verona).
The rooms are sleek and modern, designed with just enough style to make you feel fancy but not out of place. They also have apartments for people who like pretending they live in Verona. The spa is a proper retreat with saunas, steam baths, and places to relax while secretly planning your next gelato run.
The location? You can practically stumble into the Arena—it’s that close. And because it’s in the historic center, everything else you’d want to see is within walking distance. But don’t expect to walk far—you’ll be distracted by gelato shops every few meters. View room gallery >>
Truly Verona
Truly Verona isn’t a typical hotel—it’s a collection of apartments and studios scattered around the historic center. So, you’re not just staying in Verona; you’re living it. These places are all charm: exposed beams, stone walls, and just enough modern design to make you feel like a contestant on a fancy travel show.
The spaces are well-equipped, with kitchens that scream “make a meal,” even though you’re obviously going out for pasta. The layouts vary, but all of them feel stylish without trying too hard. What’s nice is that you get a bit of breathing room here, which isn’t always the case with city stays.
You’re only a short walk from major sights like the Arena and Juliet’s balcony—both of which are worth seeing, even if only to tick them off your list and head back to that incredible apartment. View room gallery >>
Final Words
Look, Verona isn’t the kind of place you visit to “save money.” It’s dramatic, indulgent, and unapologetically romantic.
So, why not lean into that? These three hotels aren’t bargain-basement picks, but they’re full of character and charm that’ll make your trip unforgettable. Because let’s be honest, if you’re coming to Verona, you deserve a stay as memorable as the city itself.
