Located in the heart of Bologna, right by the central Piazza Maggiore, the Art Hotel Orologio is ideally placed for exploring the city on foot. Quirky decor and a distinctive Art Deco twist combine to make a stylish and comfortable stay. As the name suggests, many rooms feature a selection of horological decorations along with other vintage touches.
All of the hotel’s rooms offer views over the main square or the attractive surrounding side streets.
There are many excellent restaurants nearby, and the Quadrilatero market area is less than five minutes’ walk away across the square.
