I Portici Hotel
Price 150-300€
Grand Hotel Majestic (Baglioni)
If someone asks me which is the best hotel in Bologna I don't have to think about the answer.
Located in Via Indipendenza, just a few steps away from Piazza Maggiore, Grand Hotel Majestic (known as Baglioni) is a wonderful and historical building designed by architect Alfonso Torregiani during the first half of the 18th century.
Luxury, elegance and position, make it the best.
If you can afford it, there are no other options to consider.
And if you're lucky you can meet Bono, Lady Gaga of the Pope.

I Portici Hotel
Another top choice.
The perfect balance between modern and classic style: modern rooms with minimal furniture, smooth shapes and simple spaces inside the elegant atmospheres of Palazzo Maccaferri (Art Nouveau).
In addition, this hotel is also famous for having the only Michelin starred restaurant in Bologna, located inside an 1899 theatre.
