Four-star hotel on Via dell'Orso, with 5 suites (Corte degli Ulivi) and 10 apartments (MET'S Apartments).
Hotel Metropolitan is a four-star hotel at Via dell'Orso 6 in Bologna's Centro Storico, in the quiet side streets near Via dell'Indipendenza, within walking distance of Piazza Maggiore, the Basilica di San Petronio and the Two Towers. Bologna Centrale railway station lies roughly a kilometre to the north, a walk of about fifteen minutes or a short taxi ride. The position, tucked just off the main avenue, gives guests easy access to the historic centre while avoiding some of the traffic and noise of the principal thoroughfare. The hotel combines classic accommodation with extended-stay options. Alongside standard double rooms, the property offers five suites in the Corte degli Ulivi and ten apartments known as MET'S Apartments, a mix that suits families, longer stays and visitors who want a kitchen or additional living space. Standard amenities include air conditioning, in-room internet, an in-room safe and a minibar, and a lift serves the floors. Accessible rooms are listed, and pets are accepted. A bar serves drinks, and breakfast follows the Italian style of coffee, pastries, cold cuts and cheeses. Rates typically range from about €110 to €250 per night, depending on room type and season, and rise during trade-fair periods. The service character is upscale and business-friendly while remaining welcoming to leisure travellers. The surrounding district offers Bologna's celebrated cuisine: tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini in brodo, lasagne verdi and mortadella are available at the many trattorias and osterie nearby, and the Quadrilatero market streets are a short walk away. The hotel is also a practical base for day trips by rail to Modena, Parma, Ferrara and Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna.
