From the Excelsior, located opposite the railway station, it’s easy to explore the many sides of this captivating city. Sleek, calm and comfortable, the hotel itself is a testament to modern Italian design.

After a day wandering arcaded porticoes or sipping Tinto de Verano in sun-strewn palazzi, the peaceful interiors – and warm Italian hospitality – promise to ease aching feet and soothe tired minds.

Location – Our hotel stands opposite the central railway station in the historic heart of Bologna.

Rooms & Suites – Our 193 rooms and suites come in five different types, all furnished with contemporary Italian flair. Details include parquet flooring, mahogany furnishings and muted, warm colour schemes.

Restaurant & Bar – Be sure to sample the cuisine in the Avorio restaurant, serving traditional Bolognese recipes with our Head Chef’s famous personal touch. For a quick coffee, light bite or long cocktail, head for the buzzing Fondente Bar.
