"Dining on the veranda bordering the Grand Canal is world famous, but I never saw mention of the cocktail lounge and dining room in any review I read, an unaccountable oversight."

“In my opinion, this hotel achieves a rare feat, balancing 16th-century aristocratic grandeur with modern infrastructure and a remarkably homey feel; the attention to detail extends from exquisite antiques to personalized service, including exclusive water transport. Dining on the Grand Canal terrace is deservedly famous, but the cocktail lounge also impressed me as an unaccountable oversight in many reviews. It's an investment, undoubtedly, but one that delivers an unforgettable experience.”
