• The atmospheric and historic Palazzo Ruzzini embodies the true essence of Italian luxury and style in the heart of the enchanting city of Venice. Built in the late 16th century, the building itself combines renaissance and baroque elements. A precious original façade with the main entrance from the 1500s overlooks the campo Santa Maria Formosa, the cultural heart of Venice, while on the other side the hotel still maintains a water entrance on the rio del Paradiso. Inside, the building has preserved many of the old features, while restoring interior to the high practical and aesthetic standards we expect today. The internal features include a large 'portego', a lounge that stretches along the entire wing of the building, exposed wooden beams, Venetian flooring and frescoes by Venetian painter Gregorio Lazzarini. The interior décor of the palace is sublime; rich colour and texture abound, with highly stylised furniture and great attention to detail.

• The rooms of the Palazzo Ruzzini are regally decorated, with baroque ornamental influences, with an ambiance straight from the 17th century. With colour schemes in rich red and cream tones, the rooms combine historic value and modern chic effortlessly. Slip into the comfortable beds, between crisp quality linens, and soak up the atmosphere of elegance and luxury from and age gone by while being safe in the knowledge that the rooms provide all mod cons such as flat screen satellite TV and internet connection. The communal areas of the hotel are also decorated to the highest standards, combining classic elegance and historic touches; in some rooms spectacular frescoes decorated the ornate ceilings and exquisite and valuable artwork on the walls. The hotel boasts a comfortable lobby bar, the perfect place to meet with friends after a day visiting Venice and her sights, and the place where breakfast is served every morning. For the business traveller, a fully comprehensive meeting room is available with capacity of up to 20, flat screen TV, WiFi and other essential business amenities.
