Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The former De Majo glass factory on the island of Murano has been converted into the 104-room NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa, with the original furnace chimney kept intact.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Murano Glass Museum sits directly across the canal, and hotel shuttle boats run across the lagoon to Piazza San Marco.
The rooms
Rooms retain original exposed brickwork, and Laguna View categories look straight across open water toward neighboring islands.
The spa & gym
At the table
Arched windows in the dining room look straight across the lagoon, and evening spritzes are poured on the courtyard terrace.
How it began
Architects H&A Associati converted the De Majo glassworks in 2021, arranging twelve industrial pavilions around calli and courtyards.
