NH Bologna de la Gare

NH Bologna de la Gare is a four-star chain hotel at Piazza XX Settembre 2, on the edge of the Stazione Centrale district in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna. The square sits beside the long-distance bus terminal and a few minutes from Bologna Centrale, so rail, airport-shuttle and regional coach connections are close at hand. Piazza Maggiore and the Basilica di San Petronio are about 1.2 km away, a roughly fifteen-minute walk down Via dell'Indipendenza, which is lined with shops and porticoes. The hotel follows the NH Hotels formula of contemporary, functional design aimed at city and business travellers, rather than historic character. Rooms are double and twin configurations with air conditioning, in-room internet, a minibar and an in-room safe, and the property lists accessible rooms and a lift. A restaurant or breakfast room serves the morning buffet, typically including Italian pastries, cold cuts, cheeses and hot dishes, and a bar offers drinks in the evening. Congress space is available for meetings, and pets are accepted. No spa or pool is listed, so facilities focus on rooms, breakfast and meeting needs. Service is business-oriented, with a staffed reception, multilingual support and the standardised procedures common to the brand. Rates typically fall in the €110–250 per night range and rise during Fiera di Bologna trade events. The location is especially convenient for visitors arriving late or leaving early by train or coach, and for those making day trips to Modena, Parma, Ferrara, Ravenna or Florence. Because the immediate area is a transport hub, the surroundings are busy by day, but the walk toward the centre quickly reaches quieter porticoed streets, cafés and trattorias serving tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini in brodo and other Bolognese specialities. Visitors who plan to explore the centre on foot will find the hotel a practical and predictable choice.
