Hotel Westend

Westend is located in Merano, Trentino Alto Adige. The Villa, pleasantly situatetd along the cool, shady river-side walk once known as the Stefanie Promenade, was sold to the Pöder family in 1907. They managed it as a guest house through the troubeld times of two World Wars and the very unsettled period that followed. Many of famous guests have spent their holidays at the Westend, including the German poet Gottfried Benn, who wrote many letters and poems to freinds and family during his stay. the Hotel was built in 1890 as a private Villa by the then-famous local architect Pietro Delugan. It would serve as a perfect example of his art and skill: it had one of the most beautiful facades Merano could boast at that time. The building is now justly recognised as a true Art Nouveau jem and has been listed since 1984. The Westend Hotel disposes of large and spacious rooms, most with balconies. All rooms are equipped with bathroom or shower and toilet, hair-dryer, radio, television (international programs as well as German, Austrian, Swiss and Italian ones), telephone and a safe.
