10 Best Hotels in Verona, Italy: Arena & Old Town (2026)

Due Torri Hotel is the most romantic place to stay in Verona — a 5-star inside a building that dates back to the Middle Ages, right on Piazza Sant'Anastasia. The 89 rooms are done in full Louis XVI style, with parquet floors and silk fabrics that catch the morning light. Guest scores sit at 9.1/10 on Booking.com and 9.4/10 on Agoda, which tells you real guests leave consistently happy. It is a 5-minute walk to Juliet's House, 8 minutes to Piazza delle Erbe, and 12 minutes to Arena di Verona — close enough that you can see every corner of the old town on foot and never touch a car. Best for couples and travelers who want the genuine Verona atmosphere rather than a modern copy of it.

Hotel Accademia sits inside a 300-year-old palazzo on Via Scala, one of the prettier streets in old Verona and a calmer one than the Piazza Bra crowd. The 4-star has 94 rooms and scores 9.3/10 on Booking.com from more than 4,600 guests, which puts it among the best-liked stays in town. Rooms run roomy and quiet, and the cooked-to-order breakfast — eggs done to order in front of you, fresh-baked bread, seasonal fruit and real Italian espresso — is the thing reviewers bring up most. You can walk to the Arena di Verona in 5 minutes, Piazza delle Erbe in 6 and Juliet's House in 7, so the whole old town is on foot without a single taxi. It's the pick for travelers who want a genuine historic building at a price that sits below the 5-star tier.

Hotel Bologna sits just 50m from Piazza Bra — a 2-minute walk to the Arena di Verona. This 32-room boutique scores 9.0/10 on both Booking.com and Agoda, and the location is genuinely the best thing about it: you step out the door and you are already in the old town, no taxi needed. The in-house Ristorante Rubiani serves traditional Italian food in an old-building setting, and one special suite comes with a private rooftop terrace and a hot tub looking over the Verona rooftops. Reviewers consistently praise the staff, the breakfast and how clean the rooms are. If you want to stay in the middle of Piazza Bra at a sensible price, this is the pick — just book early, because 32 rooms fill up fast.

Hotel Milano & SPA earns its spot on one feature most rivals at this price simply cannot match: a rooftop bar with an open-air jacuzzi that looks straight across at the Arena di Verona, lit up at dusk. It scores 9.1/10 on Booking and 8.6/10 on Agoda, which for a 3-star design hotel in the centre is genuinely high. There's a full spa on site for massages and treatments, and the rooms lean colourful and contemporary rather than the classic Verona look — even the showers have coloured lighting that reviewers keep mentioning. You're 3 minutes from Piazza Bra and 5 minutes from the Arena itself, so the whole old town is on foot. It suits couples who want a bit of experience — a soak with a Roman-amphitheatre view — without paying 4- or 5-star money for it.

Hotel Indigo Verona — Grand Hotel des Arts is an IHG boutique that pairs contemporary design with an art-led mood, a short walk from the Teatro Filarmonico and Piazza Bra. The 62 rooms run cream-toned and easy on the eye, and the common areas are scattered with Roman and Renaissance-leaning artwork that fits the Indigo brief of reflecting local identity. Downstairs, Arya Bar & Mixology is the evening anchor — a proper spot for a pre-opera drink before you walk the 5 minutes to the Arena. It scores 9.0/10 on Booking.com and 8.7/10 on Agoda, with reviewers consistently praising the cleanliness and the look of the place. There are also 3 meeting rooms for small-to-mid business groups. Best for design-minded travelers who want a globally branded hotel with a sense of place rather than a generic chain box.

Sole Hotel Verona plays a different game from the rest of this list: it sits close to Porta Nuova station rather than the old town, which makes it a practical base if you arrive by train from Milan, Venice or Bologna and want to drop your bag and keep moving. Reviewers score it 8.9/10, and several call the clean, modern design better than the price suggests. AC buses 11, 12 and 13 run into the old centre every 8-12 minutes for about $1.40 a ride, putting Arena di Verona roughly 15-20 minutes away. Rooms start at about $106 a night, well under what central same-class hotels charge. There is a breakfast buffet but no in-house restaurant, though the station district has plenty of cafes and Italian spots that open early. It suits the kind of traveller who treats Verona as a hub for day trips and cares more about value and rail access than atmosphere on the doorstep.

Relais Empire scores 9.4/10 from over 4,292 guests on Booking — the highest mark in this article, and higher than several of Verona's 5-star hotels. TripAdvisor ranks it #14 among all the city's B&Bs. The look is the draw: dark teak furniture, antique pieces and a vintage Empire feel that guests describe as staying in a small palace without paying palace prices. Rooms start at $94 a night, well under what the 4- and 5-star places charge nearby. It is a proper B&B, not a hotel — there's no restaurant, spa or pool — but you walk 8 minutes to the Arena di Verona, 6 minutes to Juliet's House and 5 minutes to Piazza delle Erbe. It suits travelers who'd rather have a charming, personally run place than a big chain.

Novo Hotel Rossi is the best budget pick here for anyone arriving in Verona by train. Rooms start at roughly $69 a night, yet the place sits at #9 of 87 hotels in the city on TripAdvisor — a result most bargain hotels never touch. It scores 8.6/10 on Booking.com and 8.1/10 on Agoda, and the most recent reviews (November 2025) call it easy to find, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The station, Porta Nuova, is about 800 metres away — an 8-minute walk — which makes day trips to Padova, Venice, and Mantova simple. What you give up is atmosphere: this is a base, not a place to linger, and the old town is a bus ride away. For backpackers and travellers who just need a clean, quiet room, that trade is easy to make.

Hotel Martini is a classic 3-star in Verona's station district, a 6-minute walk from Porta Nuova — the right base if you're arriving by train or using the city as a jumping-off point for day trips to Venice, Padova or Milan. The self-serve buffet breakfast is the thing guests bring up most: cured meats, several cheeses, fresh-baked bread, cornetto, yoghurt, cereal and proper Italian coffee. Rooms are clean and warm-toned with dark-wood furniture and thick blackout curtains, and reviewers who come back tend to cite that steady cleanliness as the reason. It scores 8.1/10 on Booking.com and 7.8/10 on Agoda, with rates from about $77 a night. The trade-off is distance: the Arena and Juliet's House sit roughly 2km away, so the old town means a bus rather than a stroll out the door.

Hotel Piccolo closes out this list as the lowest-priced pick at around $74 a night, and it earns its spot. It is a small boutique done up in dark Italian wood — carved headboards, warm bedside lamps, cream linens against the timber — that reviewers keep calling elegant, a notch above other hotels at this price. Breakfast is a light self-serve spread of local cured meats, cheese, fresh-baked bread, yogurt and coffee. It sits right beside Hotel Martini, run by the same team, about a 6-minute walk from Verona Porta Nuova station and roughly 2 km from the old town. It scores 8.1/10 on Booking and 7.4/10 on Agoda. If you want real boutique character on a budget rather than a hostel bunk, this is the one — just book early, because the few rooms go fast.
