Hotel Stendhal  

In the heart of Parma's old town, opposite the Palazzo della Pilotta and just about 300 m from the train station. The cathedral sits roughly 400 m away and the European Food Safety Authority is a five-minute walk. The airport is around a 10-minute drive.

This 4-star city-center hotel mixes period charm with practical rooms. Guest rooms are decorated with antique wooden furniture and include LCD/cable TVs, minibars and private bathrooms with tubs or showers and bidets. There are 63 guestrooms, elevator access for guests with reduced mobility, and staff who speak English, Italian and French.

An extensive buffet breakfast starts your day, plus an onsite bar, restaurant and a snack deli. Services include 24-hour reception, laundry and dry cleaning, a safe-deposit box and a doctor-on-call. Onsite parking or a paid parking zone is available subject to charges and availability.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a banquet hall for meetings or events. Ideal for business travelers thanks to the short walk to EFSA and Parma's Food Valley firms.

Buffet breakfasts are served weekdays 07:00–10:00 and weekends 07:00–10:30 (fee applies). Enjoy drinks at the bar, quick bites at the snack deli or limited-hours room service. Steps away from Parma's renowned food scene for exploring local gastronomy.
