Al Cappello Rosso is located right in the cultural and commercial heart of Bologna and 50 meters away from Piazza Maggiore (Main Square), the Hotel dates from 1375. This is the date quoted in the historical researches on one of the oldest hotels in the city. More than 600 years ago the first "foreigners" in transit through Bologna were registered as guests of the "Al Cappello Rosso".

Remaining faithful to its tradition of hospitality, today the Al Cappello Rosso offers a very valuable four star accommodation. The hotel is considered by its demanding and loyal customers as the ideal place for fully enjoying the magic atmosphere of Bologna. The refurbishment carried out by the new owners has ensured hospitality of the highest order.

The four-storey hotel features 32 rooms and a mansard suite - its garret windows offer a unique view on the historical buildings of the city. All perfectly sound-proof and with unique furnishings.

The "Red Hat" in the hotel's name referred to the preferred headgear of the privileged tradesmen who stayed here. Now the hotel has been revamped into an ultramodern place with no hint of its past.
