The Grand Hotel Majestic "gia Baglioni", the oldest and most prestigious hotel in Bologna, sits in the heart of the city on Via dell'Indipendenza, within walking distance of Piazza Maggiore and the famous Due Torri. The 106 rooms have a mix of antique furniture with modern amenities, a perfect blend of classic Italian style, elegance and hospitality. The 4th floor refurbishment has enriched the hotel with a new range of Junior Suites and Deluxe Room. The style in this case is classic eighteen century classical French. The hotel is famous for its I Carracci Restaurant with its frescoes, which is rightly regarded as among the most sophisticated and elegant in Bologna. This is a place where you may enjoy the traditional recipes of the Emilia region whilst seated under authentic Italian masterpieces. Our new "Enoteca Morandi" with a well-stocked cellar provides a wide range of fine Italian and foreign wines to complement a traditional and "rustico" regional menu. I Carracci Restaurant has recently been rewarded with the prestigious Three Forks Micheline and included in the last Espresso Italian Restaurants Guide.

We were upgraded to a beautiful room, but there is no air conditioning as stated on their website and the main reason I booked this hotel. You can’t even turn on air to circulate. They brought a floor fan. Opening the window made it even hotter. The bed sags to the middle. For $800 a night, this doesn’t get the job done.

Stayed here on two separate occasions , both very good experiences. Staff really make every effort to ensure you are taken care of. Street side rooms can be quite noisy. So if you need a quiet room, I suggest you request an interior room which has a window facing the courtyard. We would definitely stay here again.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for the first time. We stayed for for nights in that cosy suite. The hotel is perfectly located for exploring the city. It is very clean and well maintained. The whole team is very friendly and fulfilled all our wishes. We loved that Dinner in your restaurant. Simply wonderful. Many thanks for having us Maria Leon

We had a wonderful stay here. This was booked by my husband as a sunrise for my birthday. We received a free upgrade which was lovely. The hotel is in a perfect location right in the centre of town, and despite its central location there is no noise that can be heard. The reception staff were exceptional. All of them. They spoke brilliant English too. The bathroom was very nice in our hotel. A double shower. Lots of toiletries. Automatic soft lighting triggered in the middle of the night. I wish I had such a bathroom. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which wa nice but wasn’t the best meal we had there. The breakfast is great that it is included and there are a lot of great choices.

Prime location close to Piazza Magiore, and all the shopping. Reception was very welcoming and treated us to an upgrade. The junior suite was spacious and so beautifully decorated. Cocierge was extremely helpful and were easy to contact by email, special thanks to Andrea and every staff member that assisted us! Doormen, housekeeping and all staff. Breakfast area is beautiful and selection was wonderful. My only suggestion is to improve the gym, it can have more weights, machines and to change the location of the treadmill and bicycle machine. Nonetheless, the hotel is warm and fabulous. Mr Biondi has done a great job in running a tight ship.
