Luna Hotel Baglioni, the oldest hotel in Venezia, stands in the heart of
the city, just a few steps from the Piazza San Marco, overlooking San
Giorgio Island. This aristocratic hotel dates from the 12th century, when
it served as a shelter for the Knights Templar. Ornate public rooms boast
soaring frescoed ceilings, Murano chandeliers, antique furniture, fresh
flowers, and excellent paintings. Guest rooms and suites, many of which
have balconies overlooking the Grand Canal, are splendidly appointed with
period-style furnishings, silk fabrics, magnificent chandeliers, objects
d’art, and marble bathrooms. Some suites offer spacious balustraded
terraces.
The warm and elegant Canova Restaurant features traditional dishes of the
Veneto region and fine Italian cuisine. The Marco Polo lounge, with
18th-century frescoes is ideal for buffet breakfast, and Caffe Baglioni,
overlooking a small canal and the Royal Gardens, for cocktails. |
