Hotel Annunziata

Hotel Annunziata is a 4-star hotel in the historic center of Ferrara, located at Piazza Repubblica 5, opposite the Estense Castle. It offers 27 Italian-designed rooms, a Wow Breakfast open to all, a Bitter Spritz Bar with 30+ artisanal bitters, an Art Gallery, and Hospitality Hub Hotel services.

There’s a different way to stay at a hotel. More human. More authentic.
At the Annunziata, you don’t enter a building: you enter a living place. We’ve been here since 1990, opposite the Estense Castle, and for us, hospitality isn’t just about giving you a room: it’s about making you feel part of something. You can arrive as a guest… and leave with a story to tell.

A Hospitality Hub Hotel in the historic center of Ferrara

We’re a small 4-star hotel, but so much happens inside: a meeting point for travelers, Ferrara residents, and the simply curious. You can come for the WOW Breakfast in front of the Castle, for a bitter spritz from our Bitter Spritz Bar that you won’t find anywhere else, to see an exhibition, or just to fill up your water bottle and get going.

Italian-designed rooms in the heart of Ferrara

No frills or formality: Italian design, clean lines, the right lighting, carefully selected music, a vinyl record spinning slowly. And above all, people, because luxury today means being welcomed by someone who truly wants to. Every choice has a reason—including sustainability, concrete and everyday.
