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.

This is got to be the worst hotel of our entire trip. We travel often for pleasure. The staff is unkind. The food is subpar. We are starving. The location is horrific. Massive construction outside. It took our driver over an hour to get us to the front door At dinner tonight in their hotel, they messed up our entrées. They never brought my husband his steak the first night At I Carracci and last night, I ordered Seabass and they brought me Turbo or Sturgeon over risotto which I don’t eat. After mentioning to the waiter that it is not what I ordered he argued with me? Later, coming back with my real dinner order it was too late. Today we tried to use their amenities in the sauna and steam, and after reserving our spot for days, they failed to heat them up, causing us to miss our time in those amenities I went to my massage and asked for a lotion instead of oil, and the woman was so extremely rude and made me feel so highly uncomfortable. I had to leave and go tell the Front Desk not to charge me. Bologna is dirty full of graffiti. I do not advise staying here. It is an awful experience. The rooms are tiny and the sheets are scratch. Don’t get me started on room service and how they screw that up

The ambience, style and warmth of this hotel is off the scale. The staff were super helpful - from the cleaning staff to reception to concierge and so it goes on. The hotel itself is elegant and so comfortable, and even with major works in the street, it was peaceful and easy to access. The beds are super comfortable, the breakfast and bar services are great and of course the huge benefit of being right in the old city of Bologna! highly recommend it as a great place to stay.

Everything about the Grand Majestic hotel is fantastic from the beautiful room to the delicious breakfast, amazing dinner at I Caracci and of course the gracious staff throughout the hotel. We had a wonderful stay that we won’t soon forget.

I love the hotel and the service was excellent. The construction out front on the rail was a little disruptive, but overall did not spoil our stay. I definitely will stay there again. The breakfast was my favorite all the homemade breads and croissants. We also had dinner at the Michelin star restaurant in the hotel. The chef is amazing. John my husband really enjoyed the wine pairing with the meal. It was a beautiful Hotel. Very elegant with beautiful art. I wonder if the chandelier in my room was from Murano glass. The linen sheets were special.
