Vegan Hotels in Europe

In verdant South Tyrol, nestled in the mountains, La Vimea is a plant-based and locally sourced organic haven, one of the top vegan hotels in Europe. It’s styled like a ski chalet, overlooking a beautiful pond – which you can bathe in – and surrounded by an oasis of trees. Inside, the hotel is modern, with plenty of wood and glass, while the outside is a patchwork of sunny terraces and private shady corners. The vegan hotel offers yoga and meditation classes, a spa, sauna, indoor pool, and massages. The activities in this region of Italy are unsurprisingly outdoor-focused, with cycling and hiking top of most people’s to-do list, so you’ll certainly work up an appetite for a menu like no other. Breakfast is a plant-based buffet laden with veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds and local Italian coffee, while lunch is all about fresh bowls and hearty pasta. Haute cuisine meets vegan deliciousness at dinner time, with a five-course extravaganza taking you through wild herb salads, stuffed courgette flowers and colourful risottos, finishing with homemade vegan ice-cream or raw ‘cheesecake’. The rooms are simply furnished with a focus on calming and natural elements – think gloriously big windows, sun-catching balconies and larch-wood cladding.

In Friedrichshain, the beating heart of Berlin, the Almodóvar Hotel is both luxurious and down to earth, with a relaxed vegetarian restaurant and chic rooftop spa. This calm oasis offers an escape from the pulsing city streets yet retains the edgy, design-focused features you love and expect from a top locale in the German capital. The Spa Suites are a luxury experience, featuring either a private sauna or spa bathtub for maximum relaxation. If you come here for one thing, it should be the vegan hotel breakfast, brunch and tapas. The Almodóvar has turned everyone’s favourites into plant-based delights, from currywurst and weisswurst to pretzels and panini, and that’s before you even peruse the extensive breakfast buffet and daily tapas selection. With massages and a rooftop sauna, who could blame you for not leaving one of the best vegan hotels in Europe? But if you do, you’re surrounded by cool places to eat, drink and dance. You’re just a 30-minute walk from Warschauer Strasse S-Bahn station, the East Side Gallery at the former Berlin Wall, and a whole world of nightlife (and day-life too). There’s a tram stop right outside, giving you easy access to all Berlin has to offer.

The Hilton London Bankside occupies a perfect central location just south of the river – ideal for exploring the Southbank, Bankside Gallery and Shakespeare’s Globe. In around 15 minutes, you can walk over the iconic Millennium Bridge to St Paul’s Cathedral, and the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square are just over 30 minutes away on foot. And with the nearest tube station (Southwark) just a five-minute walk, Central London really is your oyster. Hilton Bankside is simple, chic and sophisticated. The light and spacious rooms have a focus on comfort, with Hilton Serenity beds, separate bathrooms and large rainfall showers. Downstairs, you have the choice of two eateries, both with a robust vegan menu. OXBO Bankside has you covered with vegan waffles and bottomless brunch at the weekend. For dinner, tuck into a range of options from tofu poke bowls to jackfruit curry and vegan burgers, as well as melt-in-your-mouth desserts like coconut kulfi or polenta and pumpkin seed tart. The Distillery, OXBO’s à la carte neighbour, prides itself on what it calls ‘Liquid Cuisine’, so the drinks menu is vast and varied. As you sample, we recommend tucking into their vegan flatbread or ragout, plus vegan cakes and desserts.

Just 20 minutes outside Falmouth, Budock Vean Hotel feels a world away from the everyday. Set in 65 acres of lush grounds, this four-star establishment has everything you could want from a getaway, from a spa and dedicated vegan menu to a private cove and cruises of the Helford River. Stay in a hotel room or luxurious suite, or book one of the cottages or chic glass-fronted holiday homes with private terraces. The hotel, a winner of the Visit England Breakfast Award, offers a range of cooked and fresh dishes. At lunch, vegetarians can tuck into delights including Greek salad and baked cheese souffle, or enjoy the sumptuous baked field mushroom with spinach and St. Anthony’s goat cheese as part of a three-course Sunday lunch. Vegans will appreciate the dedicated menu including favourites like African peanut and sweet potato stew or the roasted cauliflower and broccoli bowl with tahini houmous. From the private cove, take a Frenchman’s Creek kayak tour or try stand-up paddleboarding. There’s also a pool, hot tub and spa offering facials, hot stone and aromatherapy massages. Of course, while in Cornwall you might want to explore the coastline, with Cows Beach, Bream Cove and Rosemullion Head nearby.

With a charming Georgian exterior and a vegan menu from a Michelin-starred restaurant, the Queensberry Hotel is a glorious weekend bolthole. Nestled in the honey-toned terrace of Russell Street in Bath, it’s just a short stroll from the iconic Royal Crescent, the Bath Assembly Rooms, the Fashion Museum and the Jane Austen Centre. In just over 10 minutes, you’ll find yourself on the bustling high street with shops galore, the famous Roman Baths and Thermae Spa. After a sunset dip in the rooftop pool, why not complete your indulgent weekend with a meal at the hotel’s restaurant? The Olive Tree offers two flavour-focused menus named SIX and NINE, with a dedicated vegan version of each. The offering changes seasonally and prioritises locally sourced produce, but you might find dishes like salt-baked celeriac with autumn truffle and Roscoff onion tart. End the evening at The Old Q Bar with your preferred tipple or cocktail. In the morning, you’ll find fresh fruit juice and a choice of vegetarian or vegan cooked breakfast. The interior is colourful and quirky, with statement wallpapers and velvet furnishings. Room options range from classic and cosy doubles through to elegant four-poster suites with sumptuous bathtubs.
