Hotel Corona D’oro

Next to the two Towers and Piazza Maggiore, in the heart of medieval Bologna, is the Hotel Corona d'Oro 1890. The 15th-century historic hotel is the perfect base for exploring the city. Find art deco in the lobby, magnificent frescoes of coats of arms, and coffered ceilings in the Azzoguidi conference hall. The thoroughly renovated hotel provides upscale service and amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Rooms & Amenities

The hotel’s 40 rooms have been refreshed with a mix of painted built-ins, decorative moldings and antique furnishings. Ecru-colored walls complement classic Italian fabrics that drape the windows, many of them balconied. Beds are uber-comfortable with plush bedding; a pillow menu stands on the nightstand. The bathroom walls and floors are made of Italian Carrara marble; the plumbing and fixtures are modern.

 

Dining

The breakfast room downstairs has fabric-covered walls and vaulted ceilings and offers an exceptionally lavish breakfast buffet. Start with a wide choice of sweet and savory products like fragrant brioches and delicious pastries with cream, honey, chocolate, traditional cakes with cream, pine nuts and ricotta, fruit and jam tarts, and homemade pancakes accompanied by maple and agave syrup. Savory options include scrambled eggs, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, cold cuts of the best Emilian gastronomic tradition, platters of mixed cheeses served with cherry tomatoes and oregano, and a selection of ham mignon sandwiches. Accompanied by espresso, americano, cappuccino, herbal teas, mineral waters, juices and prosecco.
