Journey Overview
A private car from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport to the Royal Hotel Carlton takes the stress out of arriving in Bologna. Rather than the AerobusTrain people-mover to Bologna Centrale station, then a taxi or walk with your luggage, you are met on arrival, your bags are handled for you, and you travel door-to-door to Train Station / Pietramellara.
Every transfer includes real-time flight monitoring, meet & greet, luggage assistance, a professional English-speaking driver and a fixed, all-inclusive fare — a genuine door-to-door service with no meter and no hidden charges.
Why Choose Our Private Transfer
There are cheaper ways to make this journey, but few as effortless. A private transfer replaces the AerobusTrain people-mover to Bologna Centrale station, then a taxi or walk with your luggage with one direct ride: a guaranteed driver waiting for your flight, help with your bags, and a fixed price agreed before you travel.

Flight Monitoring & Meet & Greet
We track your flight number from take-off, so if it lands early, late or is delayed, your driver's pickup time adjusts automatically — no need to call or rebook. A complimentary waiting period covers the time it typically takes to clear passport control and collect luggage at BLQ's compact terminal, and your driver holds a name sign at the meeting zone just beyond baggage reclaim, between the arrivals gate and the taxi/shuttle rank, with a name sign so you are easy to find.
About the Royal Hotel Carlton
The Royal Hotel Carlton sits on Via Montebello a short walk from Bologna Centrale, notable for its rooftop pool and terrace with views over the city's rooftops and towers. It is one of the few central Bologna hotels with genuine outdoor pool access.
Its rooftop bar and pool terrace are a summer draw uncommon among the station-district hotels. It is especially well suited to travellers wanting a rooftop pool and skyline views near the station.
