Just a stone’s throw from San Marco and situated at the head of the Grand Canal, the charming Bauer Palazzo sits in the heart of Venice.
The enviable location means that you don’t have to wander far to explore and experience the city’s landmarks, which are easily accessible on foot. In just five minutes, you can reach the Gallerie dell'Accademia, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Doge's Palace. For water-based explorations, a fleet of gondolas awaits.
The hotel itself reflects the classic city; the unassuming exterior masks the art deco grandeur awaiting inside. Venetian fabrics and accents are a strong component of the décor, chandeliers and sconces are constructed from locally made Murano glass, and bathrooms feature Italian marble and Lorenzo Villoresi toiletries.
