Savoia Hotel Regency

General

The Savoia Hotel Regency represents a truly unique hotel in the city of Bologna, drawing inspiration from an eighteenth-century country residence whose imposing façade is surrounded by vast green areas.
The original plan dates back to 2002 when Savoia Hotels realized that the Savoia Hotel Country House 's capacity was no longer enough to accommodate its regular guests and that the neighboring field with a deserted farmhouse on it was the ideal building site for a new hotel to meet the requirements of the growing clientèle.
By taking over that field, the Trombetti family seized the economic opportunity to expand its business as well to contribute to carry out land reclamation works in the neighborhood. The installation of underground high-voltage electric lines , previously overhead wires with negative impact on public health and environment, cannot be underestimated.
Among different plans and guidelines in the end a completely offbeat idea prevailed: an eighteenth-century-style villa to give the guests a feeling of affluence and class, deliberately untrendy in comparison with the present-day multi-storey and reinforced concrete hotels often cold and soon obsolete.
The selected materials are all related to that era, Venetian flooring, crystal chandeliers, precious fabrics. The elegantly appointed wide spaces are aimed at richness and style, still they do not lack in sobriety.
Nothing is left to chance, the large entrance marquee lets the guests in the majestic hall and behind it, the courtyard with swimming pool. In the background the landscape garden, two hectares of parkland reviving glorious bygone times that our guests more and more long for.
