Hotel Bauer, located within sight of San Marco's Square, with the unique breathtaking view of the lagoon, is run today like the most elegant, romantic private Venetian Palazzo. The well-known luxury and modern facilities are perfectly blended into an old-world atmosphere. Guests can feel the real Venetian atmosphere, surrounded by the quietness of the city, rocked by the serenades of the gondoliers and by the sight of the magnificent and captivating view of the Basin of San Marco, the Venetian lagoon and the city.
The Bauer is the only grand hotel in Venice since 1880, known as "Grand Hotel d'Italie Bauer Grünwald", outcome of a happy marriage between Mr Julius Grünwald and Mr Bauer's daughter, described in the Sylvus guide as "a first-class hotel with more than 200 rooms, drawing-rooms, and apartments at the most beautiful location in Venice".
Throughout the years, the hotel has been the favourite destination of the International and Financial Jet Set, Prime Ministers, Royal Families and famous stars of the artistic world who chose the Bauer for its warm hospitality, efficient and personalised service.
