Right in Verona city centre:
a hotel with history
Since 1928, amongst the Romans and leather merchants
When you arrive in Verona city centre, at our hotel in Via Quintino Sella 5, you’ll be walking along a route that already existed in Roman times, running alongside the decumanus that crossed this part of Verona. Here, in 1928, an Art Nouveau-style building was erected: who would have thought that, almost a century later, it would become one of the best hotels in Verona, the city of love? Hotel Touring is, in fact, situated 150 metres from Piazza delle Erbe. The gateway opens out onto Via Mazzini and Galleria Pellicciai, which takes its name from the “Pellissari”, leather workers who were active in this area as far back as the Middle Ages. The same neighbourhood later became the heart of Verona’s Jewish ghetto, part of which was demolished in the early 20th century.
Time passes, but your 3-star hotel in Verona remains
From the Belle Époque to the war
Take a seat in the lobby of Hotel Touring and try to imagine what it was like in the 1920s, when it hosted artists and famous figures from the Belle Époque. You’ll still sense the elegance and refinement that the considerable damage inflicted by the Second World War has failed to erase. Our 3-star hotel in Verona remained there, at Via Quintino Sella 5, just a stone’s throw from Piazza delle Erbe and Juliet’s Balcony, a witness to times gone by.
The hotel in Verona’s historic centre as we know it today.
The Art Nouveau canopy and the 2020 restoration
Take a moment to stop under the Art Nouveau-style canopy before you enter: this Art Nouveau masterpiece was installed in 1928 and is the only part of the building to have remained unchanged after the complete restoration in 2020. Everything else has changed, from the 32 spacious rooms with windows to the modernised facilities in the meeting rooms, but its atmosphere remains just as it was in the past. Elegant, sophisticated, welcoming.
