The Corona d'Oro is the old-Bologna night, smaller and quieter than the Majestic. MICHELIN lists it without a Key: 40 rooms near the Two Towers, the Casa Azzoguidi restaurant that opened in 2021, a bar and luggage storage.
It sits in a pedestrian area, per MICHELIN — arrive by taxi and expect a short walk with bags. Parking is available for a charge, price not printed.
Our routing gives about 54.8 road miles (88.2 km) to the terminal, roughly 69 minutes on empty roads.
Pick it for an evening in Bologna's centre and a morning train to Ravenna.
Book it if
- You want old Bologna outside the door
- Dinner downstairs appeals
- You'd like to leave bags with the desk
Look elsewhere if
- You want a MICHELIN Key — this one has none.
- You'd rather not wheel cases through a pedestrian zone.
- You want a short sail morning.
