Phi Hotel Bologna
About
Phi Hotel Bologna is a charming 4‑star boutique hotel located in the heart of Bologna’s historic centre, just a short walk from Piazza Maggiore. With 33 uniquely themed rooms designed by international artists and 6 self‑contained apartments, the property offers an intimate, artistic experience for travellers who love creativity and history. The hotel’s heritage dates back to 1375, when it first opened as a tavern, and has been lovingly restored over the centuries to combine old‑world charm with modern amenities. Guests can start their day with a colourful, locally‑sourced breakfast buffet featuring Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto, and seasonal fruit, while the hotel’s eco‑friendly initiatives—such as sourcing from the Monastero del Cottolengo and using zero‑waste practices—reflect Phi Hotels’ commitment to sustainability.
