Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“Bologna's oldest luxury hotel, in an 18th-century palazzo on porticoed Via dell'Indipendenza, a few minutes' walk from Piazza Maggiore. Frescoed public rooms, a fine-dining restaurant and the Café Marinetti bar. It suits travellers who want a classic five-star with the old town on the doorstep. Small dogs can come to breakfast, the restaurant and the Café Marinetti, with a table set aside if you ask ahead.

Why it's in the collection

She leaves straight onto the covered porticoes of Via dell'Indipendenza, so even rainy or scorching walks stay in the shade, and Parco della Montagnola, with its dog areas, is about 900 metres up the same street.

Best suited for

Small and medium dogs are welcome, but only small dogs go into the restaurant, breakfast room and Café Marinetti.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Small and medium dogs can be in the room and the hotel's common areas on a lead. Small dogs only in the restaurant, breakfast room and Café Marinetti. Tell the hotel in advance if your dog is joining you for breakfast or dinner so they can reserve a suitable table.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
