Century Hotel, Parma: Parma hotel

Century Hotel, Parma

The Century Hotel in Parma - this modern, comfortable and affordable three-star Parma hotel in the heart of town puts the historic delights of this superb northern Italian city right on your doorstep.

The affluent little Emilia Romagna city of Parma has its claims to fame - you'll certainly know Parma ham and Parmesan cheese, and like all of Emilia, it is a haven for foodies ... Emilia Romagna has perhaps the richest and most lavish cuisine in Italy. It's a very ancient town too, already developed in the Bronze Age, when there were necropolises on the site of the 'modern' Cathedral Square. Modern is relative of course. The core of the city is medieval and there is much to be seen during your stay. All are within easy reach of your Parma hotel. Church spotters will have a lovely time in the city too.

As well as the superbly austere Romanesque Cathedral (with 12th century sculpture by Benedetto Antelami and a 16th century fresco by Antonio da Correggio) there is the neighbouring Baptistery, from the same period. There are half a dozen more important churches, and the 11th century Benedictine Monastery of San Paolo. Other sights to see from your Parma hotel include fine medieval palazzi, among them the Palazzo della Pilotta, with the Academy of Fine Arts, and there are a number of theatres including the Teatro Farnese and the Auditorium Niccolo Paganini.

Rooms at this Parma hotel range from singles to suites. All are superbly appointed, with minibar, CD player, bathroom, safe, radio, air conditioning, work desk, TV and hairdryer. Paid WiFi is available.
