Abano Grand Hotel
Grand hotel baroque opulence meets serious thermal spa resort. Think Roman columns, antique furniture, and Venetian chandeliers — then a 24-carat gold facial. Adults-only, quiet, and very much oriented around wellness programs rather than sightseeing.
Book a Signature or Lifestyle AntiAging program of at least 7 nights for the full therapeutic benefit — single-night spa access barely scratches the surface
Why It Matters
The sole 5-star luxury (★★★★★L) property in the province of Padua. Thermal water springs naturally at 86°C inside the hotel park — a mineral-rich saline-bromine-iodine source found nowhere else in the world. The Romanae Thermal Spa is built around this water, specializing in anti-aging programs using thermally matured mud enriched with algae. Celebrated its 25th anniversary in February 2023.
The only 5-star luxury hotel in Abano Terme and the entire province of Padua, the Abano Grand Hotel is the flagship of the family-run Borile Group's GB Thermae Hotels. Marble floors, Venetian chandeliers, Louis XV furnishings, and stucco work set the baroque tone inside, while outside a 20,000 sq.m. park holds three interconnected thermal pools fed by water that springs at 86°C directly on the hotel's grounds. This is primarily a thermal wellness destination — the Romanae Thermal Spa and Venezia Spa are the reasons most guests make the trip — but the new Nàiade fine-dining restaurant and the genuinely fun James Bond Bar give it enough personality to hold its own beyond the treatment table.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
Bright and welcoming, furnished in soothing colors with a large marble bathroom that has both a bathtub and shower. Available with either a double bed or two singles. The entry-level room at the hotel, but marble bathrooms are standard throughout.
Deluxe Panorama Room
53 sq.m. furnished in Louis XV style with a marble bathroom and a balcony looking directly over the park, pools, and Euganean Hills. The views are the point here — best room tier for pool-watchers.
53 sqmDeluxe Room
53 sq.m. of baroque-detailed décor with a private furnished balcony and a marble bathroom with both shower and bathtub. Timeless style is the pitch here — privacy and exclusivity in equal measure.
53 sqmExecutive Junior Suite
60 sq.m. with Louis XV-style furniture, a private balcony overlooking the park, and a marble bathroom with double services (two bathrooms or two vanity areas). The park-view upgrade over the standard Junior Suite.
60 sqmImperial Suite
87 sq.m. split across two elegant spaces combining Louis XV furniture with wooden floors and a lounge. Private terrace with city views and a large marble bathroom. Majestic Harmony is the hotel's own tagline for it — not wrong.
87 sqmJunior Suite
60 sq.m. with Louis XV furniture, a private balcony, and a marble bathroom. Big enough for a proper aperitif on the balcony, as the hotel suggests. The balcony overlooks Abano Terme street scenes.
60 sqmPresidential Suite
The top of the house at 107 sq.m. — a masterful expression of Louis XV style with large living spaces, a private terrace, and marble bathrooms. The hotel calls it pure magnificence, and at this size and finish level, the claim is reasonable.
