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.

"My husband and I had a lovely stay at Grand Hotel Majestic Gia Baglioni for three nights in October of 2025. From the moment we arrived the friendly and helpful valet staff welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. After a short walk we made our way to the beautiful lobby and were greeted by Roberto who was incredibly kind and eager to tell us all about the property and beautiful city of Bologna. We were even given an upgraded room. What a way to start our adventure in Bologna! The room was nicely appointed and had everything we needed. I unpacked my clothes into the wardrobe, and later realized that the housekeeper had added extra hangers - very thoughtful! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the room was quiet despite the construction happening outside. The absolute highlight of our trip were our afternoon aperitivo and late night cocktails at Cafe Marinetti with the incomparable Domenico. Domenico provided excellent service, stories and great cocktails. Not sure how many Majestic Negronis we had - but it was quite a few! I also daydream about the Gabe Fior Di Sale prosecco that was my go to nightcap while I writing in my journal each night. Some other things we loved about this hotel experience were the beautiful physical room keys, and the perk of leaving them at the front desk when departing for the day. No more searching through my purse to locate a key card! We also took advantage of the concierge services to book dinner and a balsamic tour. We did do the brunch one morning, the cappuccino was tasty and I loved the buffet options. We loved walking the halls and seeing photos of the many celebrities and notable figures who have also stayed there. Finally, the central location of this hotel made it ideal for exploring the wonderful city of Bologna. We walked pretty much everywhere! I eagerly await my next visit to Bologna so I can stay at the historic Grand Hotel Majestic - Gia Baglioni again. Thank you for having us!"
