Located in the heart of Bologna, the capital of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni stands as a five-star landmark that seamlessly blends historical grandeur with timeless luxury. Nestled along the city’s main boulevard, Via dell’Indipendenza, the hotel enjoys an exceptional location just steps from Piazza Maggiore, the Fountain of Neptune, and the iconic Two Towers. Originally designed in the 18th century by architect Alfonso Torreggiani for Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, later Pope Benedict XIV, the building once served as a monastery and theological seminary. Converted into a hotel in 1912, it quickly became a symbol of Bologna’s social and cultural refinement. Today, the property retains many of its historical treasures, including ancient Roman road remains in the cellar and magnificent frescoes by Renaissance masters Annibale and Agostino Carracci adorning the ceiling of the famed I Carracci Restaurant, offering guests an atmosphere steeped in art and history.
The hotel features over one hundred rooms and suites, including Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, and Junior Suites, each exquisitely decorated with Venetian-style furnishings, Murano glass chandeliers, and Italian marble bathrooms, an elegant harmony of classical sophistication and modern comfort. The signature I Carracci Restaurant, one of Bologna’s most celebrated fine-dining venues, highlights Emilia-Romagna’s finest local ingredients, combining traditional Italian cuisine with contemporary creativity, accompanied by an extensive wine cellar and refined ambiance. Additional facilities include a fitness center, sauna, steam room, and versatile meeting and banquet spaces, ensuring a distinguished experience for both leisure and business travelers. As one of Bologna’s most emblematic historic hotels, Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni offers more than accommodation, it invites guests on a journey through Italian art, heritage, and timeless elegance.
