Bologna's Sole 5-Star Luxury Palace

An 18th-Century Masterpiece Steeped in Art and Gastronomy

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.

Private Art Déco Terrace & Cathedral Views

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.
