An art and antique-stocked retreat with 62 cozy rooms, a buzzing cocktail bar that’s beloved by the Verona locals, insider tours, and a lush private garden.

Stocked with a pool and spa. But when Shakespeare set two of his plays in this town, including Romeo + Juliet, he wasn’t writing sonnets about spa treatments.

Style obsessives flock to Indigo Verona Grand Hotel Des Arts because it’s exactly what it says it is: artful to the core. Even the most intimate guest room option here, the Standard Room, has wood floors and was lovingly adorned with whimsical upholstery, classically designed furniture, and fun color palettes of plum and soft blues. For a roomier stay, we love the Standard Room with Balcony: what’s more fun than your own private outdoor balcony for sipping your morning cuppa as the surrounding city rises from slumber? Bonus: each and every room has individually controlled air conditioning, a mini bar and coffee and tea station, and free, fast WiFi.

The private garden is a dreamy retreat from the city: a place where you can lounge on daybeds or a verdant carpet of grass as the birds chirp.

The hotel's bar was inspired by Romeo & Juliet. No wonder you’re feeling the love. Tonight, you order a Jester cocktail with ginger liqueur, acidified orange juice and prosecco, and head out to the garden to watch twilight fall. How do you say “Heavenly” in Italian?
