We stayed at this hotel during a recent 1st trip to Venice. It is unusually modern inside for Venice, perfectly located and has a very well equipped gym, which we were surprised by. The spa was also great, although i as confused why we had to book it. The room itself was very spacious, and it was cleaned twice a day (another pleasant surprise). The breakfast was good, not great, but the well made scrambled eggs (a rarity in hotel breakfasts) were delicious. we were also able to order a boat taxi straight from the hotel to the airport, which I'm sure you can do from most hotels in Venice, but I as pleased as punch. A few minor bad points - we shouldn't be made to pay for wifi when spending so much for a room. The hotel bar isn't much to speak of. And don't tell me I need to pay a 5 euro tip for someone getting my bags from the store room, not cool. read more
