This three-and-a-half pearl Bologna property was built in 2009 and has 139 rooms. It’s a popular choice for business
travelers due to its proximity to the exhibition center and the excellent
on-site facilities provided for those on business. Despite being outside out of
the city center, it caters well for tourists too -- the regular shuttle bus
into Bologna is convenient. Rooms have high ceilings and stylish furniture. Overall, the Hotel Cosmopolitan offers good value with freebies like parking, Wi-Fi, and continental breakfast, and it’s
lower priced than the more central hotels.

Scene
Fresh, modern, and vibrant
The entrance to the Cosmopolitan is
smart and impressive. A revolving glass door takes guests into the stylish lobby
area where there’s a modern, illuminated reception desk surrounded by flat-screen TVs, contemporary
chandeliers, and white leather chairs. There’s a fresh, clean, and vibrant feel that continues throughout the property. The restaurant has a black, red, and
white color scheme and the hallways have a modern, red and gray checkerboard carpet.
Location
In the heart of Bologna’s business district
Located in Bologna's business district, this hotel is ideally placed for
those visiting the exhibition center -- one of the largest in Europe. For those who are driving, this property is very close to the motorway and ring road, and of
course there’s the great bonus of free parking at the hotel. For visitors wishing
to take in a little culture on their trip, it's also near to the National Art
Gallery of Bologna. There's nothing of interest within walking distance of the hotel -- apart from the
adjacent mall -- as it's on a busy road and there are no sidewalks, but there’s
a shuttle bus into the city center and taxis are easy to come by.
Rooms
Trendy and clean with high ceilings
Rooms at the Cosmopolitan are trendy and
vibrant. There's flock-patterned wallpaper, mood lighting, leather headboards, and pops of bright orange and red among the neutral, earthy tones. Bathrooms
are large and stylish, with cream and brown tiling, modern white fixtures, and
big walk-in showers. Superior Rooms have either a bathtub and shower, or a
double shower, while the Junior Suites have a hot tub. Facilities include a minibar, coffee- and tea-making facilities, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with digital channels, a hairdryer, and room service during
limited hours. With business guests particularly in mind there’s also a desk,
complimentary newspaper, and an in-room safe designed to fit a laptop. Past guests have occasionally complained about exterior noise and some rooms overlook the parking lot.
Features
Good restaurant and excellent conference center
The hotel’s restaurant serves breakfast,
lunch, and dinner -- continental breakfast is included in the cost of the
room. A la carte meals here are good too, using high
quality fresh, seasonal produce to
create contemporary dishes. The bar offers
guests classic Italian and international wine, as well as some artisan Italian
beers. The front desk is open 24-hours a day
and there’s free parking and Wi-Fi for all guests. A well-priced shuttle bus into the city center
is provided by the hotel five times a day, and there’s a free shuttle bus to
the exhibition center. Where this property excels is the conference center.
There are five modular meeting rooms which can be arranged as needed -- providing space for up to 130 delegates. The latest audio visual technology is
available here and the hotel is more than happy to arrange coffee breaks and lunches
for those attending meetings and conferences.
