HOTEL MONACO & GRAN CANAL

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 100, Steps away from Plaza San Marco, On the lagoon, Grand Canal Restaurant, 17th century palazzo & contemporary styling.

• Seventeenth century grandeur and chic modern styling. The Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal has been recently restored, reviving the feel of an old palazzo fused with a contemporary feel. Overlooking the Gran Canal, and steps away from the mythical Plaza San Marco, the hotel is firmly anchored in Venetian history. Formerly a "Ridotto Pubblico", or a type of clubhouse where pleasure and intrigue reigned and a favourite location of Giacoomo Casanova for his amorous adventures: it perfectly embodies the Venetian mercantile spirit. Grand style and contemporary comforts for those who want to experience the authentic spirit of Venice.

• Contemporary notes are introduced throughout: mosaics, glassware by Venetian masters, glass walls and ceilings which enhance designer furnishings. Each of the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal’s rooms are elegant and at the same time subdued. The finest Venetian craftsmanship and creativity can be seen in the precious fabrics, murrhine glass, mosaics and magnificent chandeliers. A harmonious blending of Baroque and minimalism.
  
  Enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the legendary intimacy of the hotel’s bar, a sanctuary from the crowds; later dine in the Grand Canal Restaurant, renowned for its Venetian specialties. Impeccable decor and a delightful atmosphere. A dinner on the terrace is an unforgettable experiece.

• The Hotel Monaco overlooks the Gran Canal and has majestic views of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio; it is just 150 metres from the world renowned Plaza San Marco and is just next to Cà Giustinian, the historical site of the Biennale.
