What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The famous Liberty-style façade, dating back to 1907, is still in place, but what’s inside is now an entirely contemporary luxury hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Gran Viale leads straight to the beach, and water buses cross the lagoon to central Venice in ten minutes.
The rooms
Century-old layouts are finished with fluid, contemporary furniture, and rooms on the top floor look out across the lagoon.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is bordered by a wooden sun deck and serviced by a poolside café.
The spa and gym
Therapists perform traditional Thai bodywork, and the lower level holds Finnish saunas and a 24-hour gym.
Bar
28.5
The wooden rooftop terrace serves drinks and light dishes looking straight out across the lagoon to Venice.
At the table
The Mode mixes craft cocktails on the ground floor, and Natyve serves homemade pastries and teas for breakfast.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from the allegorical figures of Venice and Hungary depicted across its ceramic facade.
