Smy Bologna Centrale is an elegantly decorated hotel with a stylish base. Its privileged location, just 150m from the central train and bus station and a few meters away from some of the main attractions of the city, such as the Neptune fountain, allows guests to enjoy the tranquility and peace of this Italian city. The hotel benefits from a direct connection to the airport via the Marconi Express service, a service that connects the central station with the airport every 10 minutes. The Stadio dall'Ara is located just 4 km away and the brand new Unipol Arena sports facility 10 km away. Bologna is a lively and welcoming city that will surprise you with its modern shops in the centre, the old shops for vintage shopping and the restaurants and taverns where you can savor the tasty dishes of the Emilian culinary tradition. The hotel has 82 rooms, all of them with a modern and elegant decoration and with all the necessary facilities for a business trip, a vacation in couple or with friends. All rooms are soundproofed and equipped with high speed internet connection, safe, LCD TV, minibar and private bathroom with bathtub or shower.
