"Set in an 18th-century palazzo in Bologna’s historic center, the Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni is the grand dame of the city's hotel scene. It’s the oldest in town, with a storied past on proud display — remains of an ancient Roman road are visible in the cellar, intricately painted frescoes depicting European history adorn the restaurant’s curved ceilings, and an elegant red-carpeted staircase connects four levels lined in white marble. It’s a landmark that symbolizes old-world grandeur: apart from the updates you’d expect at any luxury hotel, no one’s experimenting with tradition here." - Tablet Hotels
