Hotel
Metropole, nestled in a Venetian palace, is located on the magnificent Riva
degli
Schiavoni. Furnished in classic, Venetian style, every room is unique and
offers a range of comforts. There is also an interior garden, which serves
as a restaurant in the summer months. Do not miss the owner's disparate
collection of corkscrews, crucifixes and nutcrackers.
The Beggiato
family, who have managed the Hotel since 1970, skilfully knew how to
treasure the history of the building, preserving the structural elements and
decorations of the past and creating a welcoming and evocative atmosphere.
The style of decoration and fittings verify this, from the restaurant room
the "Met" where everything is a reminder of music: between the beautiful
original columns of the chapel, musical instruments from different ages
are exhibited.
The harmonious notes continue through to the adjoining Venetian lounge,
with its warm red velvets which are reflected in the antique mirrors, and
from there to the windows in the direction of the Bacino san Marco.
The love for art, for antiquities and for beautiful items, has always
distinguished the Beggiato family. Notable family collections appear,
resplendent in the showcases of the hotel: from differing ages,
recuperated with a patient and competent work of visiting cards to that of
corkscrews. Unusual displays of antiquities from different ages, recuperated with a
patient and competent work of research by the Beggiato family, have
created a refined, subtle and nostalgic atmosphere that is not out place
with the air of a "Reserche of lost time".
The collection of precious fans from the last century decorate the lovely
luminous breakfast room that is adjacent to the garden.
Moreover, Proust was also a famous guest of this Hotel. |
