Club Hotel Dante

Book

Club Hotel Dante is a seaside hotel in Cervia offering a practical and comfortable base just a short drive from the IRONMAN & IRONMAN 70.3 Emilia-Romagna race venue, giving you easy access to the swim start and finish line while staying close to Adriatic charm.

Upon arrival, you’ll notice a warm, relaxed atmosphere: a welcoming lobby and communal areas that feel more like a friendly seaside retreat than a corporate hotel. It doesn’t lean on luxury, but it’s honest, calm, and well-suited for athletes looking for rest and convenience.

You’ll be staying on a bed-and-breakfast basis, and on race days you can request an early breakfast so you can fuel before an early swim start. The hotel’s buffet-style restaurant serves Italian and regional Romagna cuisine, and there are several bars — including a poolside bar and beach bar — where you can grab snacks or hydration in between training or after the race.

The hotel’s wellness and fitness offerings are functional and athlete-friendly. There’s a gym to support your last-minute workouts, and a spa (Terme del Mare) that features steam rooms and treatments for muscle recovery. Outdoors, you’ll find a semi-Olympic pool (25 × 12.5 m) plus the beach is just steps away. It’s a good spot for a gentle swim, active recovery, or stretching out in the sun after a long day.

Rooms here are comfortable and practical. They have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a safe, and either a shower or bathtub. Even if the hotel isn’t brand new, the rooms are functional and quiet enough to support the rest you need before and after race day.
