Location Map of Hotel Westend
Description:
...bidet and hairdryer, direct outside phone line, safe, color TV and radio. We have a comfortable lunge, a TV room, lift and also bicycles available free of charge for our guests. Our hotel is a now delightfully modernized, lovely period villa, a building with character, with tradition and atmosphere in a very quiet location. It has its own shady garden and private car-park. 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 recognized as a true Art Nouveau jam and has been listed since 1984. The Villa, pleasantly situated 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 troubled 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 friends and family during his stay. The Strohmer family has long been active in the hotel and catering business; they already own the Hotel Europa Splendid. They bought the Westend Hotel 1983 and completely renovated with both taste and style. The Westend was awarded 3-stars in 1986. The hotel has a delightful garden along the river and is in a quiet yet central position, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. It is ideal for a truly relaxing holiday. Our guests often remark on the comfortable, cozy atmosphere, the spacious airy rooms, the excellent home?cooking, the attentive service and the warm welcome they always receive from the owners and staff. We feel sure that you will enjoy your stay here at the Westend we and look forward to seeing you soon.
