Questionnaire
Year erected: 1883
What is the history of the property?
Two lions at the entrance gate and the Bavarian royal coat of arms in the entrance hall of the Hotel Bavaria commemorate the Wittelsbach Carl Theodor, Duke in Bavaria and favourite brother of Empress Elisabeth-Sissi. The Villa Bavaria was built in 1883 and in 1885 the ducal entourage moved to the newly built Villa Bavaria in Merano, while Dr. Carl Theodor took up his work as an ophthalmologist in the nearby medical centre, now the Hotel Palma. His stays as well as the visits of Empress Sissi contributed greatly to the fame of the health resort and helped the town on the river Passer to international fame. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bavarian reminiscence was then converted into a hotel. Several extensions followed over the decades. Almost everything has been renovated and modernised in the meantime. Today, the hotel is owned by the Berger family of doctors and enchants guests with its unmistakable flair and warm hospitality.
What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?
Belle Époque / Historism
Is the property surrounded by other historic buildings?
The hotel is located only 700m from the centre of Merano in the historic villa district of Obermais/Maia alta surrounded by a magnificent park with palm trees and mighty cedars.

Questionnaire
Year erected: 1890
What is the history of the property?
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 recognised as a true Art Nouveau jem and has been listed since 1984.

The Villa Westend, pleasantly situatetd along the cool, shady river-side walk once known as the Stefanie Promenade (now Passer Promenade), was sold to the Pöder family in 1907. They managed it as a guest house through the troubeld 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 freinds and family during his stay.

The Strohmer family have long been active in the hotel and catering business; they already own the Hotel Europa Splendid. They bought the Villa Westend Hotel 1983 and remodernised it completely with both taste and style, respecting the original "art nouveau 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, cosy atmosphere, the spacious airy rooms, the exellent home–cooking, the attentive service and the warm welcome they always receive from the owners and staff.
