Flat-screen televisions, wifi and minibars bring the rooms into the 21st century without detracting from the historic quality of the decor.
Under the expert guidance of Michelin-starred chef Enrico Bartolini, the hotel’s restaurant, GLAM, has been awarded two Michelin stars for the thoughtfully crafted and exquisitely presented dishes. Tucked away under fragrant Magnolia trees, this courtyard restaurant is as picturesque as its food, with beautiful views over the Grand Canal to be enjoyed as you feast on classic Venetian specialities with a modern twist.
