In the heart of Bologna,there is a hotel that has become a sort of archive for the festival. Many of the rooms at Phi Hotel Bologna have been "redecorated" and made unique by great names in contemporary comics and illustration - from Alessandro Baronciani to Mariachiara Di Giorgio, from Laurent Moreau to Amandine Meyer - thanks to the collaboration between the festival and the hotel.

On Sunday, November 23, 2025, the new room designed by Martina Lucidi will open its doors,
along with the others created for A occhi aperti and previous editions of BIlBOlbul.
