Hotel in Venice - etia no.: 177

If you want to enjoy Venice you do not need to stay right in San Marco. Silence, elegance and a whiff of luxury feature this little hotel inside a small palace from the 16th century.  It has been recently remodelled, its surrounding environment and history being beautifully preserved. and it offers all modern amenities. The hotel is eclectically decorated with “damschi” fabrics, African wood furniture, marble fireplaces, fur wall paper, moresch lamps, Swaroski crystals and many other beautiful details. A combination of exotic, romantic, mystical and fascination makes this a delightful hotel. It looks onto a picturesque view of a canal and looks directly over the glorious church of Santa Maria della Salute. This is one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods of Venice and to be thoroughly enjoyed by foot. From the hotel it is very convenient to arrive in San Marco Square by either public or private transportation, thanks to the easy access boat stop outside the lobby. Don’t miss the view while having breakfast or a drink from the terrace! The boats gliding down the canal, the breathtaking Santa Maria della Salute Church right in front, the Moroccan inspired theme of the terrace with the lanterns, coloured glass and vivid warm hues give an enchanting feel to whatever time of day it is.

With its two entrances - one from the water and one from dry land - the reception area offers a fitting prelude to a rich and sensual experience. The water lapping at the palazzo’s main entrance is evoked again indoors by a water-lily filled water basin over which two banquette seats appear as if suspended.The hotel’s 14 rooms (five of which are themed) have been designed to a high level of comfort and detail.

The communal spaces - the Moroccan-style terrace, the eclectic lounge filled with antiques and contemporary pieces from around the globe, the 1950s-influenced breakfast room on the piano nobile, and the reception area with its sofas that seem suspended in water - offer attention to detail and an elegant and rarefied atmosphere that will inevitably seduce you.
