Park Hotel Pacchiosi

This place is beautiful! A newly renovated space, converted from an old hospital. The windows were grand and the ceilings were at least 12 feet high. It is quiet impressive, I didn’t exactly expect it to be mansion like but it was to some degree. The rooms and bathrooms were very spacious. There was a grand staircase and chandeliers everywhere, including in the bedroom.
My room had two showers, I guess for couples to shower together. It was an interesting concept although we never put it to use. The only complaint is that the water from the open shower doesn’t drain properly, In the morning there is still a puddle of water where the shower curtain is. I think this is a problem with a lot of minimalist showers though so I won’t penalize this place for it. Lots of toiletries, which is always a plus even if I don’t end up using all of it.
Service was great. Two attendants were sent to help us with our luggage upon arrival. The front desk was helpful in assisting us in making restaurant reservations and calling a taxi upon our departure. Breakfast was situated in a beautiful room, unfortunately we had to catch an early train and didn’t get to fully enjoy the view.
The location is about 5 minutes away from the train station by taxi, which is convenient. Parma is a really small city. Everything is walkable, at least the places tourists want to go anyways. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Parma!
