A modern surprise on the hotel scene in a traditional city, Methis Hotel attracts savvy business travellers looking for convenience and efficiency in a handy location while avoiding the five-star prices of larger Italian cities. Originality prevails at Methis Hotel, where the hotel's four floors have been designed with ingenuity according to the four elements of earth, water, fire, and air, with the top-floor junior suites presenting a lighter than air option for those looking for a bit more room and a private terrace with expansive views of the greenery at the edge of Padua's historic city centre as well as the Castello, one of the principal landmarks in the city that is home to the Barilla pasta company.
Padua's central location between Venice, Verona, and Treviso makes it an ideal base for exploring this part of Italy. For those doing so by car, Methis makes things easier, offering among the rarest of Italian hotel amenities—a private car park for guests in a city and country where parking spaces are at a maximum premium. For other transport on wheels, there is a bike path directly in front of the hotel.
Every Wednesday night throughout the year, Padua celebrates Student Night, when the whole city comes out in the evening for socialising and catching up with friends in classic Italian fashion. Founded in 1222, Padua's university is the third oldest in Europe (after Perugia and Paris) and remains an important force in the city's cultural scene. Padua has attracted students from across Europe for centuries and, with globalisation, now hosts students from all over the world. The University Of Padova's 1594 Anatomy Theatre occupies a unique place in the history of medical research, and the University's ornate Botanical Garden, dating from 1545, is the oldest in the world and has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Padua is also the home to major works of art in several locations around the city, including Giotto's masterpiece frescoes adorning the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel, near the main railway station.
