Four-star hotel near the Sant'Orsola hospital area with a restaurant and hydromassage.
Savhotel Aemilia Bologna is a four-star hotel at Via Zaccherini Alvisi 16, in the San Donato - San Vitale area of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, close to the Sant'Orsola-Malpighi hospital complex and the university quarter. The location is a residential and medical district east of the old walls, about 1.5 to 2 km from Piazza Maggiore, reachable in roughly twenty-five minutes on foot or a short bus or taxi ride. Bologna Centrale railway station is around 2.5 km away. The hotel suits visitors attending the hospital, patients' families, university guests and business travellers who prefer a quieter setting to the station district. 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 hydromassage facility provides a relaxation option, and a restaurant or breakfast room serves the morning buffet and meals. A bar is available for drinks, congress space supports meetings, and parking is listed, an advantage outside the limited-traffic zone. Pets are accepted. No pool or fitness room is listed. Service is oriented toward business and medical-visit stays, with a staffed reception and multilingual support. Rates typically fall in the €110–250 per night range and can rise during Fiera di Bologna events. Because the hotel lies outside the tourist core, visitors usually combine it with buses into the centre, where Bologna's porticoes, the Two Towers and the Basilica di San Petronio are the main sights. Local trattorias in the university district serve tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragù at moderate prices, and the Sant'Orsola area has pharmacies and cafés useful for longer stays. Guests planning day trips to Modena or Ferrara can reach the station by bus.
