Hotel description
Bologna has one of the most beautiful and best preserved old towns in Europe. There are plenty of towers, squares, churches and palaces from various different eras for you to visit. The best place to start any sightseeing tour here is the Piazza Maggiore with its San Petronio Basilica. And it´s right here, in the very heart of the old town, that you´ll find the Art Hotel Commercianti. Some of the hotel rooms at the Commercianti directly overlook the Gothic basilica which dominates the square with its grandeur. The hotel building itself has - both inside and out - a fantastic historic feel interwoven with Italian art and nostalgia. An excellent breakfast and very friendly customer service round off any stay.
Historic hotel: Period interiors & views of San Petronio
Today´s Art Hotel Commercianti is housed in a building dating back to the 12th century, the first town hall of the city. Behind its ocher facade you´ll still today find many of its original medieval architectural elements. These mainly include the partly visible truss frame and brick archways. Some rooms even have impressive wooden beams. The highlight of some of the rooms is their views right over the San Petronio Basilica with its beautiful stained glass windows.
Romantic hotel: Pretty rooms & a loft suite with a rustic feel
All of the rooms at the Art Hotel Commercianti are ideal for a romantic getaway, and especially the deluxe rooms, junior suites and suites. The most beautiful is the Suite della Torre with its splendid roof beams and elegant marble bathroom.
Food and drink: Delicious breakfast & room service
Each morning you´ll find a lavish continental breakfast buffet laid out in the cozy, antique furnished breakfast room. The selection ranges from freshly baked bread to eggs any style to croissants, dry-cured salami and freshly squeezed orange juice. Snacks and drinks can be ordered at any time through room service. There is no hotel restaurant but there are plenty of different restaurants all within easy walking distance.
Leisure & sport: City tour on foot or by bike
Thanks to its excellent location, the Art Hotel Commercianti is the perfect starting point for a stroll through Bologna´s old town. The hotel also has its own collection of bikes that you can use for free depending on availability.
Location: Central, historical & quiet
The hotel has an absolutely fabulous location, literally just a few meters from Piazza Maggiore, and still really quiet. The San Petronio Basilica is directly opposite. Also close by are the Neptune Fountain and many other historical sites. The landmark of the city, Le Due Torri (the Towers of Bologna) is about 400m away.
