Long Stays and Business Travel in Bologna

For long stays in Bologna or a business trip, an apartment in the centre lets you feel at home. You cook when you want, work in peace and head out on foot in the evening. Design Club Collection offers design apartments with a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and self check-in. They are in a historic building, a 5-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore.

Long stays in Bologna: why an apartment makes sense

After a few nights, a single room starts to feel small. In an apartment you have a living area with more than just a bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen, so you are not eating out every night, and a laundry service, so you can travel light. With self check-in and independent access you do not depend on reception hours: you come and go on your own schedule.

If you are travelling for work

Bologna is a city of trade fairs, conferences and university life, and one of Italy’s main railway hubs. The Business style is designed with work trips in mind: studios with clean lines and neutral colours, and dedicated sleeping and dining areas. If you prefer a different setting, choose from the other styles, from the blues and greys of Elegante to the Industrial lofts. In practical terms:

  • Wi-Fi in the apartment;
  • a table for your laptop and a kitchen for your lunch break;
  • partner garages if you come by car;
  • daily cleaning on request.

If you are staying a few weeks

Some guests are in town for a project and some are visiting the university. Others are moving to Bologna and looking for a home in the meantime. In every case, living in the centre makes daily life simpler. Food shops, bars and restaurants are a few steps away. You get around on foot under the porticoes that UNESCO has listed as World Heritage. The building is on a quiet street parallel to Via dell’Indipendenza, a stone’s throw from the Two Towers.

How to plan long stays in the city

Choose the apartment around your habits. If you cook often, look at the kitchen and the table in the photos. Working from home? Consider a one-bedroom apartment, with the living area separate from the sleeping area. If someone will be joining you during your stay, check in the listing how many guests the apartment sleeps. And if you have questions about a longer period, write to us from the Contact page.
