This Jewel Box Hotel in the Heart of Venice Should Be Your Next La Serenissima Stay | Vogue

"A family-owned jewel box of a boutique hotel that opened earlier this year, with 32 elegantly designed rooms and suites spread across a quartet of neighboring, interlinking buildings, this feels like a rare home away from home in tourist-saturated Venice. It sits on one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares—just around the corner from the who’s who of designer boutiques that line the Calle Larga XXII Marzo, a few minutes from St. Mark’s Square, and adjacent to the Canal San Moisè, where tourists throng every morning and late afternoon for gondola rides—yet, as soon as I stepped through its unassuming entrance and heard the quiet hum of the sliding doors close behind me, an air of calm seemed to blanket every surface. I visited during the Venice Film Festival in the last days of high summer, and the crisp air conditioning was very much welcomed." - Liam Hess
