24 Best Hotels in Venice, Italy
"Corte di Gabriela, a boutique hotel, injects contemporary pizzazz into a 19th-century palazzo, with signature design pieces, industrial-chic materials, and splashes of gorgeous color. But this is style without unnecessary attitude: The vibe here is warm, grown-up, and welcoming. And breakfast is simply superb; in fact, it's a true draw for many of the hotel's return guests. The staff will make you feel immediately at home, easing you into restaurants, water taxis, and tours. Did we mention the courtyard? With its smart Paola Navone–designed furniture, antique marble wellhead, and welcome shade from a very old, very large wisteria plant, this is a perfect place for quiet contemplation. Upstairs, there’s a comfortable reading room with a baby grand piano. And luxurious chocolates at turndown are a sweet touch." - Sarah James, Anne Hanley
