For a family or a group of friends, an apartment is often the easiest way to stay in Bologna. You are all together, everyone has their own space and there is a kitchen. Design Club Collection has family and group apartments in Bologna with one, two or three bedrooms. They are in a historic building in the centre, a 5-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore.

Family and group apartments: how much space do you need?
Each apartment listing shows the number of guests, bedrooms and bathrooms. As a rough guide:
- A couple with one or two childrenAn apartment with a separate bedroom, or a split-level loft with the sleeping area on the mezzanine.
- A larger family or two couplesThe two-bedroom apartments, several of which have two bathrooms.
- A group of friendsThe largest options, with up to three bedrooms. If there are more of you, you can book several apartments in the same building, subject to availability.
One tip if you are travelling with small children. In the lofts the sleeping area is reached by an internal staircase, so you may prefer an apartment on a single level.
The apartments with the most room for a family or a group
Eco Chic comes in many different layouts, from a studio to an apartment with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Among the Industrial apartments, most of them with mezzanines, there are options with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Extreme includes a spacious loft with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. And on the top floor, the Luxury style also has an apartment listed for eight guests. Everything else is on the styles page.

The eight styles
Every apartment follows one of eight styles designed by Iosa Ghini Associati: pick the one that suits you.

LuxuryOn the top floor, with a wood-burning fireplace, a terrace over the rooftops or a hot tub.

What makes the trip easier
With children, or in a big group, it is the practical things that count. A fully equipped kitchen lets you have breakfast and dinner on your own schedule. The lift helps with suitcases and pushchairs. Self check-in and independent access mean no queueing on arrival, and daily cleaning can be requested when you need it. There is Wi-Fi and, for longer stays, a laundry service.
Bologna on foot, even with little ones
The building is on a quiet street parallel to Via dell’Indipendenza. Piazza Maggiore is a 5-minute walk away and the Two Towers are just around the corner; the porticoes keep off both sun and rain. On Saturdays and Sundays the main streets of the centre are closed to traffic, which makes strolling even easier.
Arriving by car
If you are driving, bear in mind that the centre is a limited traffic zone (ZTL). The Where we are page explains how to get in and lists partner garages and car parks.
