"The bulk of the Venetian tourist trade centers on Venice proper, but the Lido, the barrier island that shields Venice from the Adriatic Sea, is a destination unto itself; it’s home to the film festival, for one, as well as some elegant grand hotels, including the renovated Ausonia Hungaria. The famous Liberty-style façade, dating back to 1907, is still in place, but what’s inside is now an entirely contemporary luxury hotel, complete with modernist-inspired furnishings and décor and all the essential 21st-century comforts." - Tablet Hotels
