The location of this 18th Century grand hotel couldn’t be better. It sits on Via dell’Indipendenza, within walking distance of centuries-old Piazza Maggiore and the famous Due Torri — the tallest leaning medieval tower in the world. There are nearly 40 kilometres of porticoes throughout the city of Bologna, each with its own unique style and structure; and you can learn about them on a guided tour. The area offers many gastronomic delights – as the birthplace of bolognese and tagliatelle al ragù. (The region of Emilia Romagna is also home to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, tortellini, Parma ham, balsamic vinegar, and many other delicacies.) Just off Piazza Maggiore, lies the imposing Basilica of San Petronio, and Bologna's Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo) is less than a mile from the hotel. Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is approximately six miles away.

The rooms and suites are lavishly decorated using silk drapes, ornate, antique furniture and Murano-glass chandeliers. The marble bathrooms feature a bath and shower, slippers, bathrobe and complimentary toiletries by CULTI. Modern conveniences include air conditioning, a flat-screen satellite TV and free Wi-Fi. Views are across the main street or courtyard; some suites on the fourth floor feature a balcony.
