Arthotel Commercianti

Bologna

This sister hotel of the Arthotel Orologio was the original property in the elegant Bologna Art Hotels mini-chain, occupying the space of Bologna's 13th-century City Hall. Its rooms (some themed – the Neptune Room, the Astrolabe Room, the Captain's Room, etc) come filled with antiques and gorgeous touches such as the marble-floored bathrooms or traces of centuries-old frescoes.

Deluxe room terraces and bathroom windows get up close and personal with the gorgeous facade of Basilica di San Petronio. Staff can be stuffy.
