There is a moment, every August , this year FROM 8 TO 10 AUGUST when the Igea Marina seafront changes face .
Families with sandcastles give way to tattoos, dusty Vans, rainbow hair , and lightweight backpacks full of stories.
It's the Bay Fest , the punk-rock festival that lights up the Romagna evenings with decibels and smiles, and we—like every year— are waiting for you with open arms .
We're the Hotel Marcus , and if you've been to us before, you know: anyone who arrives with a van, a dog, and a cold beer in their bag will always find a place. And respect.
Because true Romagna hospitality doesn't look at appearances, it listens to the music inside you.
What's your typical day like ? We bet it's like this.
You wake up late, with the sun filtering through the sheer curtains.
Go down to the beach around 11, after a long coffee and a chat on the veranda.
Make a regular stop at Picchio Verde , piadina in hand, feet in the sand.
Then you go back: a quick shower, a difficult choice among the many T-shirts bought at other festivals , a matching hat and the planned meeting with friends you haven't seen in a while.
At 4 p.m., the line is lined up under the sun : orderly, silent, everyone listening to their own beats. Artisanal carts selling cold beer appear along the promenade.
And you, like every year, take it and when you've finished the bottle, you leave it there. Next to the trash can , not on the ground.
Because that's who you are: real, punk, but polite. And we know it well.
And if you recognize yourself in everything I've written, it means you're the right person for HOTEL MARCUS , we will soon become your home away from home.
We may not be the cheapest hotel, but we thought we'd give you a special DISCOUNT CODE, just for you.
This way you can get to the concert calmly, in a 5-minute walk, without having to walk for 45 or 60 minutes under the August sun.
And above all—let's face it—after 5 hours of dancing under the stage, no one wants to walk 8 km to go back to sleep.
Because you got it: we're practically the closest hotel to BAY FEST.
