St Mark’s Square, the Basilica and the Doge’s Palace are an easy stroll away, while the iconic Rialto Bridge lies just across the water. Away from the main landmarks, you’re also well placed to explore quieter neighbourhood canals, artisan boutiques and characterful bacari wine bars.

Start the day Venetian-style with a quality buffet breakfast, usually featuring fresh pastries, breads, cold cuts, cheeses, fruit and hot options, all served in an elegant breakfast room or on a small terrace when the weather allows. Later on, the hotel’s cosy bar is a handy spot for an aperitivo or nightcap before you wander back along the canals.
