Luxury Hotels in Venice Italy.

Luxury Hotels in Venice Italy

Venice, the romantic queen of Italy, grew from the destruction of the Goths and was destined to become a romantic and monumental city that distils a sweet decadence. Frozen in time and besieged by tides and tourists, it attempts every day to survive the success and the advance of the sea, which threatens to turn it into a modern-day Atlantis.

A city without streets, also known as La Serenissima, it is made up of over 100 islands joined together by some 400 bridges and is regarded as one of the most unique cities in the world. Cars are banned in the centre, and even the police and the postmen use barges to get about. Its name is closely associated with other such illustrious names as Tintoretto, Bellini, Vivaldi and Marco Polo, while its past is enveloped in silks and imbued with aromas of the most varied spices.

What was once a mighty commercial and seafaring power in the Mediterranean still retains its splendour in the eyes of the visitor, to the point of having been reproduced in a Las Vegas casino, yet it is a giant with feet of clay, standing as it does on a muddy lagoon in northeast Italy.

Venice invites visitors to quell their hurry and let themselves be hypnotised by the eternal lapping of the Adriatic. Who could possibly resist being bewitched by such charm!

The Story:
Although by the start of Christianity the marshy Veneto coastline had already been settled by fishermen and hunters, the true origins of Venice date back to the fifth century, when inhabitants from the hinterland moved to the islands to escape the devastation of the Goths as they cut a swathe to Rome.

You can try in MESTRE:
It’s located ten minutes from Canal Grande of Venice.

I was in Venice at the weekend, have to be honest would it not be better to park your car at Marco Polo airport and get a water taxi to Venice…. 30 mins. That way you can stay in a nice hotel in Venice and are nearby everything.

Im not sure about other hotels but we stayed in the Hotel Danieli which I couldnt really fault although more old world luxury than some of the modern boutique hotels.

I agree that the best place to park your car is at the airport

Hi, in Venice it is better if you leave the car at Parking lot in Piazzale Roma and reach with taxi-boat to any 5* hotels in the center, e.g. Luna Hotel Baglioni near San Marco square. Or Hotel Danieli and Hotel Cipriani the famous ones.

My favorite museum is the Ca’Rezzonica.

Outside of Venice you can stay in the Riviera del Brenta, the place is very nice but it takes you like 30 minutes to go to Venice. And there is not 5 stars hotels, but there are nice hotels in old venetian villa. For 5 stars hotel it’s better if you choice to go to Venice.

The Danieli and the Gritti Palace are both offering a dining experience with at cinematic twist.

A further must-see during the Film Festival is the Venice Historical Regatta along the Grand Canal taking place on the afternoon of 6 September – we’re offereing the opportunity for visitors to enjoy the spectacle over a long lunch at one of our Grand Canal terrace restaurants such as our own Club del Doge. If you are visiting the festival we hope you have a wonderful experience.

Hey guys, for something thats actually Fun,
try the BBar to the Bauer Hotel,
its probably going to be the most happening thing for the after-screening scene…

I will be attending the festival 2 – 7 and will be staying at the Excelsior (although every year of my childhood included a stay at either the des Bains, Danieli or the Gritti – I actually had a fabulous week during my Luna di Miele at the Gritti :) and am very much looking forward to dining at least once at each one during my stay!

This year Stella Events has created the “Quintessentially – Azimut Win Win” Terrace opposite the Casinò and will be hosting social events from morning until late into the night. It also has a restaurant and a late night bar open to the public wishing to lunch or dine with the celebrities and Gala dinners are planned for the evenings of 3rd and 6th of September on the terrace.

Venice, one of the most famous city in the world, was probably founded in 726 on the isle called Rialto (or Rio Alto).

In the course of centuries, while its might increased, Venice developped in the lagoon carrying its name on a group 119 islands, which are divided by 160 canals and linked by about 369 bridges.

Venice was called the Serene Republic, and its history is glorious and magnificent; glory and magnificence, of which Venice retains a sign in its wonderful buildings and in the masterpieces of its museums and churches.

Its lights and matchless colours make of it a city of poetry admired by everyone all over the world.
