Hotels in Bologna

If your idea of holibobs involves pasta that’s basically life-changing, medieval towers peeking over terracotta rooftops, and hotels with more charm than your Nonna’s cooking, Bologna is the spot. Stay in sleek city pads right by Piazza Maggiore, boutique boltholes tucked under the famous porticoes, or comfy stays perfect for food-first family trips (because let’s be honest, everyone’s here for the ragù). Bologna hotels bring you smack in the middle of the action — culture, carbs, and top-tier people-watching.

When should you book your Bologna hotels?

Spring is perfect for café-hopping under the arches and day trips to the surrounding hills. Summer cranks up the buzz with lively piazzas, though a gelato (or three) is mandatory for survival. Autumn is basically foodie season - truffle fairs, harvest festivals, and markets overflowing with delish local goodies. Winter turns the city into a cozy maze of Christmas lights, mulled wine, and hearty plates of tagliatelle al ragù. Whatever the season, hotels in Bologna put you within strolling distance of your next gorge meal.
