Venice City, Italy

Wake up to a buffet breakfast served in the hotel’s traditional breakfast room, with Italian pastries, continental staples and hot options to set you up for a day on the lagoon.

There’s no full-service restaurant or bar in-house, but you’re steps from local trattorie, wine bars and canal-side terraces for evening aperitivi and dinner. Smart-casual dress code and any reservation requirements for the breakfast room are at the hotel’s discretion and may change seasonally.

There is no pool or beach at Hotel Amadeus – this is a classic city break property in the heart of Venice. Instead of loungers, you’ve got canalside promenades, hidden campi (squares) and lagoon views a short stroll or vaporetto ride away. The hotel’s leafy garden terrace at the rear is a welcome bonus, offering a quiet spot to sit outside away from the busy streets.

This is a simple, well-located base rather than a full-service resort. Facilities typically include:

• 24-hour reception with concierge support for vaporetto routes, tours and restaurant recommendations
• Luggage storage if you’re arriving early or leaving late
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the property

There is no spa, gym or organised entertainment – most guests spend their days exploring Venice and retreat here to rest in the evenings.
