Hotel Bologna

Stylish, luxurious and located on the Venetian mainland, the Hotel Bologna is convenient for airports and the city of Venice itself, but also for the broader Veneto region. Contemporary and relaxed, it combines hip, sophisticated design with traditional Italian hospitality. In fact, although this hotel has been here for almost one hundred years, and is a local landmark, you might never guess it from the colourful façade. The interiors are just as up-to-the-minute. Great emphasis is placed throughout on the highest-quality materials, making this hotel a delight to the senses – rich Venetian marble is combined with laser-etched steel, leather sofas with splashes of warm orange and vibrant blue. Innovative touches in the rooms include large back-lit photos, which create a warm, seductive atmosphere, as well as flat-screen televisions and luxurious bathrooms. The restaurant continues this agile blend of tradition and modernity, and the staff are attentive to the smallest detail.

The Hotel Bologna has two different styles of room, Avant and Look. Both are designed in contemporary fashion, and all have WiFi internet connection, air-conditioning, television, bathroom with shower and bath, and coffee maker. If you fancy switching off, head for the lounge, with its marble floor and stylish sofas – here in an atmosphere of refined cool you can chill in style. Da Tura Restaurant has long been a popular local meeting point, and has a menu based around the best seasonal produce, matched by a wine list comprehensively covering regional, national and international labels. Dishes are inspired by traditional Venetian and Veneto cuisine and provide you with the real aromas and flavours of the region's cuisine, as well as the classic Italian dishes. Since the hotel is on the Venetian mainland, it is easy to get to by car, and in addition has its own parking.

Hotel Bologna is located at the heart of a number of tourist routes of outstanding charm – for example, it is ideal for exploring the villas of the Brenta Riviera, the hills around Treviso, or the art-rich, historical cities of Padua, Vicenza and Verona, as well as the eternal jewel that is Venice. The nearest airports are Venice Marco Polo and Treviso.
