Guida “100 Eccellenze Italiane” | “100 Italian Excellence” Guide

All four flagship properties of the Duetorrihotels Group have been included in the first edition of the “100 Italian Excellence” guide, published by So Wine So Food, an international food and wine magazine, in collaboration with Forbes Italia.

A significant recognition for four establishments set in unique settings: the Grand Hotel Majestic “già Baglioni” in Bologna, the Due Torri Hotel in Verona, the Bernini Palace in Florence, and the Hotel Bristol Palace in Genoa are all housed in historic buildings that highlight the cultural and artistic heritage of some of Italy’s most beautiful cities of art. All are located in the heart of the city and boast an extreme attention to luxurious detail, evident in the quality of their hospitality, furnishings, and services.

“It’s a great satisfaction to be mentioned in the 100 Italian Excellences collection” said Mr. Franco Vanetti, Duetorrihotels Managing Director “ behind this success are our people and their efforts to meet every single Guest expectation, always enhancing each hotel identity and peculiarity”. Our properties have different personalities, enriched by the strong connections to their local territories, cultures and histories”.

This commitment is the foundation of the group’s hotels’ excellent reputation, as highlighted in the guide. Thus, the Due Torri Hotel in Verona is noted not only for its history and furnishings—most notably the Arena Casarini—but also for its widespread commitment to eco-sustainable design and the promotion of environmental protection practices. As for the Grand Hotel Majestic “formerly Baglioni,” the guide notes, it embodies what Bologna is famous for, bringing together classical, futurist, and contemporary art—both in painting and architecture—under one roof. The Bernini Palace chronicles the city’s history from 1550 to the present—in the Parliament Hall, now the breakfast room, Garibaldi, Cavour, and the great figures of the Risorgimento—at a time when Florence was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy—while the Bristol Palace, the elegant Art Nouveau building—as evidenced by the spectacular marble staircase that inspired Hitchcock’s Vertigo—embodies Genoa’s character: its openness to the new.
