Gleaming marble floors, white Doric columns and gilded antique furnishings characterize the opulent interiors of Bologna’s Grand Hotel Majestic “già Baglioni”. Dating back to the 18th century and just minutes from the top attractions, the city’s only luxury property has a loyal following, thanks to its glamorous decor and impressive art collection. Particularly noteworthy are the centuries old frescoes, depicting events from European history, that adorn the ceiling of the I Carracci restaurant, one of Bologna’s top dining venues, with a seasonal menu of local dishes and an equally stellar wine list.

A favorite of touring celebrities and business travelers seeking a dignified meeting point and elegant dining, the hotel prides itself on delivering the best of Bologna, from gastronomic delights to a luxurious ambiance and a prime location.
