Hotel Cappello D'Oro is located in the heart of Bergamo, a city rich in history and charm.
Bergamo, one city two different faces: the Città Bassa or "lower city", a modern and efficient urban centre, and the Città Alta or "upper city", which jealously guards all the history and traditions of the city within its walls.
The combination of these two wonderful identities creates Bergamo, one of the jewels of Italy which many poets have written about.
The name Bergamo is believed to derive from the Germanic Berg-Heim, or "home on the mountain", owing to the Cenomanian origin of the settlement, but some prefer to believe it derives from the linguistic area of the eastern Mediterranean. Place names like Prague, Parga, Barga, Pergamo, Bergamo are apparently all derived from the Akkadian word parakkum or high place in the temple, cell, shrine.
