Location, location, location — you can’t beat being sandwiched between Piazza San Marco and Rialto.

Nestled on the hills just outside the city and only a 10-min drive from the centre.

Convenient spot just a few minutes from the historic heart and 10-min drive to the Vicentina Trade Fair area.

Within easy luggage-lugging distance of the train station, and less than a 20-min walk to the Arena.

Former home of nobility, transformed to a hotel back in 1945 and flourishing in its new identity ever since. (5-min walk to the historic centre!)

Sophisticated hotel ideally situated steps from the railway station, getting you to the ancient city within minutes.

Lobby is airy and open, with all-white seating and palmy plants. Crisp rooms (also done up in whites), rock wood floors and free WiFi.

Mere minutes from the train station and steps from the bus stop, which makes coming and going a breeze.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.

An updated spin on ornate classic Venetian – even the breakfast room is fancy.

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

Location, location, location — you can’t beat being sandwiched between Piazza San Marco and Rialto.

Steps from Rialto Bridge.

Like a modern palace, concerned with luxury but effortlessly contemporary.

Tucked away in the Dorsoduro district – the ‘real’ Venice, full of shops, restos and artisan boutiques – plus the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
