Standard Rooms could use an update
The Aemilia is a
mid-range hotel with 124
rooms over six floors that's popular with business travelers. It’s located
on a quiet street just outside the city walls in Bologna, but it's a 15-minute walk into the center of the city. Rooms are clean and comfortable with contemporary furniture, though the Standard Rooms could use a refresh. There's a rooftop hot tub and views from the rooftop terrace are pretty
special. Guests can pay to park in the 500-space garage on-site.

Scene
A clean, light and spacious place to stay
Aemilia Hotel has a bright,
welcoming lobby with a cream marble floor and dark brown reception desk. There's also a communal lounge with brown and cream leather sofas and plenty of books and newspapers
for guests to read. The bright and airy feel continues throughout the hotel --
the restaurant has lots of large windows allowing for natural light to fill the
space, and the polished wood floors and white leather chairs give a
contemporary look. The bar has a more trendy feel with soft blue neon lights,
glass tables, and stylish leather furniture. The majority of guests here are business travelers, though couples on holiday are common as well.
Location
Just outside the city walls
It's a 15-minute, pleasant walk on attractive streets from the hotel to the main square, Piazza
Maggiore, and the top sights of Bologna. There are plenty of bars, restaurants, and cafes in the vicinity. Plan on a 15-minute drive to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. 500 parking spaces are available in the hotel's garage for a daily fee.
Rooms
Functional and comfortable
The
rooms in the Aemilia are clean, functional, and spacious with comfortable beds and creature comforts. Each room has a safe, climate control, free Wi-Fi, small flat-screen TV
with satellite channels, minibar, and hairdryer. Standard Rooms are the most affordable, and the most dull. These have a neutral
color scheme, with beige carpet, light wood furniture, and plain white bed
linen. An
upgrade to the Panoramic Room offers a more stylish setting, as well as more
space. Contemporary floral artwork and a huge flat-screen TV, along with stylish furniture make it look a lot more luxurious than a Standard room.
Bathrooms include dark brown tiles, high gloss white sinks, and toiletries. There are no baths in any of the rooms, but they all have a walk-in shower. Rooms on higher floors have better views and are quieter.
Features
Good business facilities and a fabulous roof terrace

cereals, cheese, meat, and pastries is served every morning. Gurme Restaurant serves Italian for dinner. Room service is available with limited hours.The best feature of the Aemilia is the rooftop terrace. It’s a
quiet spot that offers amazing panoramic views of the city from chic sun loungers or a large hot tub.
