Modern city stay on the outskirts of picturesque Bologna

A sparkling mix of style, comfort and modernity at a hotel on the outskirts of Bologna - includes optional breakfast, welcome drink, a city map, and more

• Explore Bologna: Bologna, the ‘learned city’, is home to the oldest university in Europe and a place where you can lose yourself under the arcades and among its magical alleys. Here, you can stay enchanted among the structures of Piazza Maggiore, get lost in Santo Stefano, or head towards the sky at the medieval Two Towers. 

• Recharge for a day of sightseeing: All the walking is bound to pique an appetite, though, so be sure to stop for a bowl of tortellini (the pasta dish originated in this region), or perhaps head to FICO Eataly World, the largest agri-food park in the world, to learn, cook and, of course, eat. Back at your base, the restaurant promises typical Emilia-Romagna dishes without the need to leave the hotel.

• Italian home from home: The Best Western Plus Tower Hotel is the perfect place to feel close enough to the action, but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city. Standing at 70 metres, it is the tallest hotel in Bologna. Deluxe rooms are located across the 14th and 17th floors, and come with wonderful city views, 28 square metres of space, a king-size bed, bathrobes and slippers, a courtesy line by Salvatore Ferragamo, a minibar stocked with complimentary beverages and snacks, and a Segafredo machine for your well-earned coffee breaks.

How to get thereHere, you're just 10 kilometres from the airport which takes just 10 minutes in a taxi. If you'd prefer to take public transport, the journey will take about an hour; hop on the BLQ bus service to Stazione Centrale, walk to Piazza Dei Martiri and get the 99 bus to Tangenziale San Vitale. The hotel is a 6-minute walk from here.
