Arriving in Bologna to the Grand Hotel Majestic – già Baglioni was absolutely mesmerizing. The quote below from The Grand Hotel Majestic – già Baglioni, says it best. I shall share a few photos of my encounter at Grand Hotel Majestic “già Baglioni in this post, and in a following post the amazing food of Chef Agostino Schettino, an unbelievable five senses excursion with Chef and an incredible cooking class. Enjoy!!!!
“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.
The 106 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.
The hotel is famous for its I Carracci Restaurant with its frescoes, which is rightly regarded as among the most sophisticated and elegant in Bologna. This is a place where you may enjoy the traditional recipes of the Emilia region whilst seated under authentic Italian masterpieces. Our new “Enoteca Morandi” with a well-stocked cellar provides a wide range of fine Italian and foreign wines to complement a traditional and “rustico” regional menu. I Carracci Restaurant has recently been rewarded with the prestigious Three Forks Micheline and included in the last Espresso Italian Restaurants Guide.” – – Grand Hotel Majestic – già Baglioni
