Just opposite the railway station, and an easy stroll to Bologna's top must-visit sites.

Lobby is airy and open, with all-white seating and palmy plants. Crisp rooms (also done up in whites), rock wood floors and free WiFi.

Convenient spot just a few minutes from the historic heart and 10-min drive to the Vicentina Trade Fair area.

Apartment-style setup in the Saragozza-Porto ‘hood, with 24-hr front deskers on hand.

Huge, gloriously traditional rooms housed in a 17th-century manor house (surrounded by idyllic parklike grounds, of course).

A less than 10-min stroll will get you to the Bologna Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo), which focuses on art from WWII to the present.

Free WiFi keeps ya connected.

Near busses, planes, trains and automobiles (right off the A14) for easy all-mode access.

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.

Steps from the park (views from the restaurant terrace!), and the city’s best shopping streets. Win-win.

Tucked away in the Dorsoduro district – the ‘real’ Venice, full of shops, restos and artisan boutiques – plus the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

Soft pillows? Firm pillows? It’s your call, Goldilocks. They’ve got both.

Just built, and you can almost still catch a whiff of that new-car smell.
