PB hotel design editorial

Along Bologna's Via dell'Indipendenza, beneath the medieval porticoes that UNESCO recognised as a world heritage site in 2021, a palazzo dating to 1436 has served as the city's most distinguished address for well over a century. The Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni was established here in 1912, its terracotta facade and colonnaded street-level arcade folding seamlessly into the continuous covered walkways that define Bolognese urban life. The building's bones — arched openings, rusticated stone columns, piano nobile proportions — impose a grandeur that the interiors have always worked to match rather than subdue. Inside, the Caffè Marinetti anchors the public rooms with sienna marble columns, a stained-glass oculus overhead, and a black granite bar backed by dark mahogany cabinetry, the saffron-upholstered armchairs adding a Bolognese warmth that keeps the room from tipping into austerity. Guest rooms and suites carry gilded Baroque headboards, Murano glass chandeliers, jacquard-draped canopy beds, and herringbone parquet underfoot — a vocabulary of Emilian aristocratic interiors rendered with evident conviction. The internal courtyard, enclosed by climbing greenery and terracotta paving, is furnished with white painted iron chairs and pendant candelabra lanterns, offering one of those rare urban retreats where the city's noise drops away entirely. The property counts 109 rooms across five floors, each sustaining the palace's layered history rather than editing it into something more contemporary.

About

The Grand Hotel Majestic "già 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. This superb five-star deluxe hotel is situated in a Palazzo designed by architect Alfonso Torregiani during the first half of the 18th century and built by order of Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, who later became Pope. The palazzo is in fact, built on top of an ancient Roman road, part of which can be seen within the hotel. The 109 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.

Grand Hotel Majestic - Già Baglioni Reviews

"This was our second stay at the Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni and it was, if anything, even better than the first. Some places you return to hoping they live up to the memory. This one exceeded it. We stayed in the Giuseppe Verdi Presidential Suite and it was simply stunning — beautifully appointed, utterly luxurious, and with everything you could possibly need. The hotel itself is magnificent; a true Bologna landmark sitting right in the heart of the city. Dinner at I Carracci was an absolute highlight. The setting is breathtaking — a vaulted ceiling covered in frescoes by the school of the Carracci brothers, one of the most remarkable dining rooms I have ever sat in. But the food and wine matched the surroundings entirely. The wine tasting was the best I have had in a long time, and the whole evening was simply wonderful. The team in I Carracci made it — warm, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely great company. It's also worth noting that the hotel takes sustainability seriously, which matters and is increasingly rare at this level. But the true gem of this hotel, as with our first visit, is the staff. From reception to valet to room service, without exception, everyone was attentive, helpful and a genuine pleasure. Communication ahead of our stay was excellent too — you felt looked after before you'd even arrived. We cannot wait to go back."

"I have stayed at the Grand Hotel Majestic numerous times. As always, the staff (at the desk, in the bar/restaurant, in the breakfast room, and the house staff) were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I hope to be able to stay there again in the future."

"We stayed three nights in the Grand Hotel and had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly, helpful and so very courteous. They made our stay as comfortable as possible even when we asked to change rooms due to the bathroom being down a circular staircase we could not manage. The hotel is beautiful and well kept and the amenities are first class. We so enjoyed our stay and hope to be back."

"The staff and concierge were amazing. From the moment we checked in, we felt welcome and comfortable and secure, and we felt like they valued our business. By the second day, they knew our name room number. We had several requests we gave to the front desk, including dinner reservations, directions, tour recommendations, and more. They were all delivered professionally and with a smile. We stayed 3 nights in June 2026 in 100 degree weather. The hotel AC was very cold and kept us so comfortable. The sheets were fine linen (sort of scratchy to me) so we requested cotton instead and were so thankful that they changed them without hesitation. The room was very comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel!"
