 Large, Historic Hotel |
San Marco 1459 Venice, Venice 30124 Italy +39 41 520 7022 http://www.bauervenezia.com/ |
For over a century this hotel has been synonymous with Venetian hospitality and has recently been restored. It was one of Venice's first grand hotels and now it is among the best equipped and most modernized. Near San Marco, its main entrance is on the Campo San Moisè. The hotel's façade can be seen from the Grand Canal. The interior has been entirely refurbished, decorated in Venetian style, it has some beautiful pieces of original antique furniture. The level of service is very high and it has disabled access, something that is rare in Venice. On the top floor, there is a terrace with bar from which one can enjoy a splendid view of the rooftops and the lagoon. For guests of the Bauer in Venice, there is also the possibility of using various services of their sister hotel in the Lido. There is the option of the swimming pool and the beach, as well as playing golf, tennis and horseback riding. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 One of the world's most famous |
Piazza San Marco Venice 30124 Italy +39 (0)41 274 7966 http://www.carnevale.venezia.it/ |
The Venice Carnival is a two-week celebration of mysterious masked balls, parades, theatrical productions, music and general gaiety. In the costumed tradition of carnivals of the 18th century, the streets and various venues throughout the city are filled with activity. The many masked balls and galas held throughout the festivities are a perfect opportunity to donn the traditional hoods, capes and black masks, concealing one's identify and making carnival mischief all the more fun! Many events and activities are free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Constructed at the beginning of the 1900s, this was the first hotel to be built on the Lido di Venezia.

Luxurious Hotel |
Campo Santa Maria del Giglio Venice 30124 Italy +39 (0)41 79 4611 http://www.hotelgrittivenice.com/ |
To experience how the affluent live, pay a visit to the Hotel Gritti Palace. With the grand canal providing a perfect romantic setting, and a look at the imposing dome, you get a fair idea of what to expect inside. The lobby with its mile high ceilings adorned with huge chandeliers, invites you into the lap of luxury. The plush rooms with lovely paintings, rich draperies, and all the modern conveniences offer a wonderful mix of old and new. The Club del Doge restaurant not only offers world class cuisine but also gives an enchanting view of the grand canal. Built in 1525, it served as residence to the Doge of Venice. Some of its most esteemed guests have included the British Royal family, Princes of Monaco, and Hollywood Stars. Ernest Hemingway went a step further and termed it the best hotel in Venice (he also has a suite of the hotel dedicated to him). Review © 2007, Wcities |
