Venice City, Italy

Mornings at H10 Palazzo Canova start in the bright breakfast room, with a buffet of continental favourites, fresh pastries and hot dishes to set you up for a day exploring Venice.

The real showstopper is the rooftop terrace snack bar – an adults‑only space perched above the Grand Canal. Open from late morning until after midnight, it serves a range of local and international drinks, coffee, light bites and classic Venetian aperitivi as the sun sets over the domes and rooftops.

A smart casual dress code may apply. Opening times, menus and any supplements can change seasonally and by board basis.

There’s no pool here – Venice is all about the canals. Instead, the hotel makes the most of its privileged Grand Canal setting with a stylish rooftop terrace and atmospheric indoor lounge areas.

For a summer cool‑down, pair a chilled spritz or soft drink with those iconic water‑level views and watch the boats go by.
