The only five-star luxury hotel in Bologna and member of The Leading Hotels of the World. An 18th-century palace built over an ancient Roman road, renowned for Ristorante I Carracci with original 16th-century frescoes, and the Art Déco Terrace Suite.
Dominating historic Via dell'Indipendenza in the heart of Bologna, Grand Hotel Majestic "già Baglioni" stands as the city's sole five-star luxury hotel and its oldest and most prestigious grand palazzo. Commissioned in the 18th century by Pope Benedict XIV and designed by architect Alfonso Torreggiani, this magnificent palace sits directly atop a remarkably preserved Roman road dating to 189 BC, visible in its foundations.
A proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the property features 106 rooms and palatial suites enriched with French antiques, Venetian silk damasks, and Carrara marble. The hotel is world-renowned for Ristorante I Carracci—a culinary temple where traditional Bolognese cuisine is savored beneath landmark 16th-century ceiling frescoes by the Carracci brothers school—alongside the 15th-century Enoteca Morandi wine cellar and the glamorous Café Marinetti.
The hotel's crowning jewel is the 5th-floor Art Déco Terrace Suite, featuring private elevator access and an extraordinary 800 sq ft private terrace gazing across Bologna's medieval red rooftops, towers, and hills.
106 uniquely decorated accommodations appointed with French antique furnishings, silk-lined walls, Carrara marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, and evocative city views.
