4-star boutique hotel next to Basilica di San Petronio

Location & History

Art Hotel Commercianti sits inside a 12th-century building that once housed Bologna's Town Hall, right next to Basilica di San Petronio. The hotel is in a quiet, traffic-free area, steps from Piazza Maggiore and the Fountain of Neptune. Guests can walk to the Two Towers and Palazzo del Podestà in under 5 minutes from the front door.

Rooms & Art Decor

Each of the 31 rooms has a distinct artistic theme, such as the Neptune Suite or the Secret Garden room, with wall paintings and decor tied to Bolognese culture. Room 312 offers a terrace with direct views of the basilica's red brick wall. The Deluxe Junior Suite includes a pullout couch, extra seating, and a patio for dining.

Dining & Breakfast

The hotel serves a gourmet buffet breakfast each morning with sweet pastries, cold cuts, eggs, and made-to-order cappuccino. The breakfast spread includes gluten-free and vegan options, along with local specialties like mortadella. Staff will bring breakfast to the room upon request, and the dining space is set in a refined basement area.

Amenities & Services

Complimentary bike rentals allow guests to explore the city on two wheels, with bike tours available from the hotel. The 24-hour front desk can arrange shuttle services, valet parking, and private parking inside a pedestrian zone. Electric vehicle charging stations are on site, and a concierge helps secure dinner reservations at local restaurants.

Business & Pet-Friendly Features

The hotel has two exclusive boardrooms for business meetings and events, plus meeting and banquet facilities. Pets are accepted with tailored amenities that include pet baskets and pet bowls. Daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and ironing service keep stays comfortable for both business and leisure travelers.
