Restaurants and Bars
Start the day in the bright breakfast room with a buffet spread of continental favourites and Italian touches – from pastries and breads to cold cuts, cheeses and fresh fruit. Being on Bed and Breakfast gives you the flexibility to head out and explore Verona’s trattorias, wine bars and osterie at lunch and dinner.
The hotel’s Bistrot and à la carte restaurant focus on Italian and local cuisine, ideal if you prefer to dine in after a day of sightseeing. Expect regional flavours, seasonal produce and a relaxed yet refined setting.
The stylish cocktail bar serves a curated list of Italian classics and international drinks from late morning into the evening – perfect for an aperitivo in the elegant lobby or in the courtyard garden in warmer months.
Please note: a smart dress code may apply in the restaurants and bar. Reservations may be required and a supplement may be payable depending on your board basis. Facilities, opening times and menus are based on previous seasons and may change.
Pool Areas and Beach
Indigo Verona Grand Hotel Des Arts does not have a swimming pool or on-site spa – very typical for compact, historic city-centre properties in Italy – but makes up for it with its peaceful courtyard garden and outstanding location for urban exploring.
The secluded inner garden is a real bonus in Verona: a quiet spot to read, sip a coffee or enjoy an aperitivo away from the bustle of Corso Porta Nuova, framed by greenery and period architecture.
Verona is inland, so there is no beach nearby, but excellent rail and road connections put Lake Garda within easy day‑trip reach if you would like a change of scene.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
This boutique hotel is designed for relaxed city breaks rather than resort-style leisure, so the focus is on comfort and convenience:
• Elegant lobby lounge and seating areas showcasing artworks
• Quiet courtyard garden with seating
• 24-hour reception and concierge-style assistance for restaurant reservations, tickets and local tips
• Lifts serving all main floors
• Certified Sustainable Hotel – aligned with a GSTC-recognised standard at the time of review, reflecting eco-conscious practices in areas such as energy, waste and community engagement
There is no on-site gym, spa or organised entertainment; instead, the city itself provides the culture, food and nightlife.
