Venice, a gateway to the Orient, is one of the few cities in the world that can be truly described as unique. Over an extraordinarily long period, the city was embellished with monuments of rare splendor that today make it a tourist attraction like none other in the entire world. Venice is a dream shimmering on the waters, a city of painted palaces and serene churches. This urban masterpiece has canals instead of streets, boats instead of buses, and ornate bridges instead of subways. A trip to Venice offers an unforgettable glimpse of life’s defining moments played out on watery avenues: weddings, funerals, carnivals and regattas.



Accommodation for both pleasure and business

Venice has a wide range of accommodation to offer: you can choose among hotels of all categories depending on your needs, from one star to luxurious five star hotels, from bed and breakfast establishments to residences in Venezia Mestre, from room rentals to period houses. When it comes to accommodation, Venice is most of the time fully booked. Therefore even in the low season, which seems to get shorter as each year goes by, it is wise to book ahead and why not resort to online booking.

Tradition and modernity in great style

Venice hotels within the heart of the city combine traditional elegance with contemporary classic or modern designs and are all waiting to make your Venetian dream come true. These luxury hotels are more like an elegant home than a hotel. Truly authentic, Venetian style creates pleasant atmosphere, lavish decor and furnishings designed for your ultimate comfort. Such a magnificent luxury hotel with a unique atmosphere is Boscolo Dei Dogi, located right in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Rialto Bridge, in an ancient noble Palazzo formerly the seat of embassies. The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful 18th century botanical garden and can offer 68 comfortable rooms, including 1 suite and 9 junior suites, some of them romantically overlooking the lagoon. Another perfect option could be Amadeus Hotel Venezia, a 4-floor fully air-conditioned property located in the quiet area of Cannaregio, 5 minutes walk from the main railway station. The 4-star hotel lies also close to some of the best known city's attractions and museums, all very easily accessible either on foot or by public transportation. Guests will appreciate the restaurant, the bar opening onto a wide shaded terrace as well as remarkable conference and meeting facilities for business travelers.
