Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Terme Merano

If you're in Merano to pamper yourself, you can't do much better than the Hotel Terme: as its name suggests, it's connected to the expansive Terme Merano (a stay here includes free, unlimited access via a "bathrobe tunnel"), and it also has the rooftop Sky Spa with indoor and outdoor pools and saunas. Most guest rooms have brightly colored walls and furniture contrasted with hardwood floors; some include balconies with mountain views. Although the Sky Spa can only be used by guests ages 14 and up, the ground-floor indoor and outdoor pool and saunas are accessible to all. The hotel's prime position means a quick walk into town for shopping and dining, or you can eat at the on-site Olivi Restaurant or Bistro La Piazza.
