HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Our
hotel is in a quiet corner where the Rio di Ca' Dolce and
Rio di Santa Fosca canals meet, in the Cannaregio district
in the north-west of the city. Cannaregio is one of the
more populous and typical areas in Venice. We are near the
Campo Santi Apostoli and the Ca' d’Oro, one of the
most beautiful palaces on the Grand Canal, built between
1424 and 1440 by order of the patrician Marino Contarini
as a gift for the woman he loved. Its name, Golden House,
is due to the gold ornamentation on its Decorated Gothic
façade.
The Rialto Bridge and the colourful market where Venetians
buy fruit, vegetables and exquisite Adriatic fish is only
five minutes walk away. Ten minutes on foot through the
main shopping streets takes you to St Mark’s Square
to admire all its precious sights, or to the Fondamenta
Nuove, departure point for water buses and ferries to the
islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
A
wealth of detail, fin de siècle period furniture, sumptuous
tapestry, Murano chandeliers and facilities including satellite
colour TV, telephone with direct outside line, wall safe and
–independently-controlled air conditioning – and
all served by lift – make the rooms on the four floors
of the hotel little jewels.
All rooms have mosaic tiled bathrooms , embellished with Murano
glass mirrors and lights and with bath or shower box and hair
dryer.
A stay in one of the two Junior Suites means luxuriating in
a higher degree of relaxation, soaking in the Jacuzzi hydro-massage
bath or enjoying the refined décor, the beamed or plastered
ceilings and the unforgettable view from one of the windows
looking on the quiet Rio di Ca' Dolce: here palaces and the
simple homes of real, live Venetians are reflected in the
water, gondolas glide softly by and goods barges slip past,
making up a genuine picture of everyday Venetian life.
The
original 13th century beams and marble features in the space
used as the reception hall have been preserved in perfect
condition by careful restoration, and the chandelier and splendid
antique mirror are specimens of the sublime skill of the master
glaziers of Murano.
Reception is open 24 hours a day, and our friendly, expert
staff will help you to book a concert or an excursion, give
you the name of a typical bar or night-club or a good restaurant,
and will be at your service for any information you need.
A warm welcome awaits you every morning in the breakfast room,
where you can start the day well with a good breakfast chosen
from an abundant buffet with a wide choice of food, to the
harmonious sound of classical music.
