"Note: As of August 2018, this hotel is closed for renovations, and is expected to reopen in 2019. In a paradox uniquely Venetian, the hotel manages to be central—minutes from San Marco, with a private entrance on the Grand Canal no less—yet maintains an elite seclusion when approached from land, where five joined palazzo comprising the hotel are tucked away. The grande dame has among the best views in Venice, plus all the marbled floors and gilded mirrors you could hope for. Look out for the Murano glass chandeliers and Rubelli silk wall linings in the guest rooms, too." - CNT Editors
