Grand Hotel Majestic ‘già Baglioni’ BOLOGNA, ITALY
A stone’s throw from Piazza Maggiore, the Grand Hotel Majestic ‘già Baglioni’ is part of the beating heart of Bologna. The two towers, medieval symbols of the city, are visible from the hotel’s windows and were recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building that houses the Grand Hotel
Majestic ‘già Baglioni’ shares the same rich sense of history and culture as the rest of the city. The ancient Bononia, a stretch of Roman road from the imperial era, which passed through the city, can still be admired in the basement gallery. The structure of the Grand Hotel Majestic ‘già
Baglioni’ came into being in the 18th century under the auspices of Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, future Pope Benedict XIV, who built a seminary in front of St Peter’s cathedral. The building’s life as a hotel began on 15 February 1912. Cafe Marinetti, overlooking a small winter
garden with piano melodies floating in the air, is an evocative crossroads for hotel guests to mingle with local Bolognese and to feel part of a world frequented by Hollywood stars and great cultural
figures. The hotel has historically been a hit with actors, royalty, writers, artists, politicians and entrepreneurs. Grand Hotel Majestic ‘già Baglioni’ represents
the excellence that Bologna and Italy are famous for, including classical, futuristic and contemporary art from artists such as the Carracci brothers, who painted a fresco on the ceiling of the hotel’s restaurant, I Carracci. Guests can enjoy a delicious dinner under an authentic masterpiece while sipping on fine wines from Enoteca Morandi, a historic wine cellar in the hotel with a range of more than 300 Italian and foreign labels. Wellness packages are offered in the new
health and wellness centre, an urban oasis with a Turkish bath, sauna and shower with colour therapy, as well as a fitness corner. Overlooking the town’s main street, Via
Indipendenza, the hotel represents the ideal starting point for a visit to the centre of Bologna with its historical value, contributions to modernity and innovation, and opportunities for pleasant strolls along the shops and alleyways.
