The most prestigious and historic hotel in Bologna, The Grand Hotel Majestic “già Baglioni” is set within an 18-century palace atop an ancient Roman road. From this very special spot in the heart of the city, guests are rewarded with spectacular views of many of Bologna’s most historic sites, just a short stroll away. Famous shopping streets, theaters, the medieval market, Piazza Maggiore and the famous Due Torri (Two Towers) are all within minutes of this luxurious Italian hotel.

Within the Grand Hotel Majestic’s 106 guest rooms, modern amenities blend seamlessly with charming antique furnishings and stylish touches such as Murano glass chandeliers. Most rooms reflect an elegant Italian style, while the fourth floor is devoted to 18th-century classical French design.

The hotel’s selection of specialty suites is inspired by the world’s most famous artists. Each is individually decorated, from the Royal Suite Verdi, named for the renowned Italian composer, to the spectacular Art Deco Terrace Suite, with its private elevator access and splendid, expansive terrace affording views to the Bolognese towers, red roofs and hills.

After a day exploring the sites of Bologna, guests can unwind with an unforgettable dining experience at I Carracci restaurant, as famous for its frescoes as it is for its exceptional Italian cuisine, or in the hotel’s luxurious wellness area.

Dining

I Carracci: Menus change with the season at this gourmet restaurant, renowned throughout Bologna. The restaurant is glad to offer a traditional Bolognese menu in addition to innovative cuisine. Within this restaurant are some of the highest expressions of fifteenth-century painting featuring the wonderful frescoes of the school of the Carracci brothers.

Morandi Wine Cellar: This exclusive location dates back to the 15th century and offers a complete selection of more than 300 top quality Italian and international wines. It is an ideal location for private food and wine tastings, private dinners, and cooking lessons with the hotel chef.

Café Marinetti: Named for the father of the Futurist movement, Cafe Marinetti debuted in March 2014 on the 100-year anniversary of a fantastical Futurist exhibition Marinetti staged in the hotel’s basement in 1914. Live piano music and comfortable seating add to the relaxing ambience of the cafe, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing aperitif or impromptu business meeting.
