As an excellent five star hotel, the Grand Hotel Baglioni is unique in the Bologna region and a must for anyone visiting Italy 's automobile valley. Located in the centre of the old part of this medieval city, you can walk to all the main attractions and shops in less than 5 minutes. The service is impeccable is this quiet and discreet hotel. Originally a priest's residence the hotel still houses some excellent 15th century frescoes, painted by the famous Carrachi brothers. Although not currently open to the public due to refurbishments, it's definitely worth asking manager Pier Magrini for a private tour of the frescos, the works have only recently returned to the hotel after being on display in New York . The hotel is also extremely open to Chinese guests currently offering some CCTV channels and a Chinese breakfast option. A spa is also planned for 2006.
