Elegant and modern with a lot of style (but no pretension!) - great location on the Zattere with views of the water available, but far from the crowds of San Marco (still very walkable and with great neighborhood restaurants). Excellent value for money in an expensive city!!

I felt the hotel was style over substance with fundamental design flaws from the shower screens, curtains and the position of wall sconces, at a hotel of this level seem to have been not thought out at all. Trying to squeeze around a bed, looking directly at light globes and the position of shower taps showering all make you feel like it’s beautiful to look at but uncomfortable yo use. Curtains didn’t open, they came off their rails. Bed was hard and uncomfortable. A lot of wear and tear visible in the rooms.0 Staff were lovely and food at the restaurant at breakfast and dinner wonderful.

Gorgeous hotel & facilities, with a beautiful view. Would definitely recommend you book a canal view room. Overall the service from staff was pretty poor, particularly for the price point & positioning. Staff would frequently forget requests or orders, house keeping left our door open & room unlocked after service, & despite reception being open 24-hrs, the night staff were fairly unwilling to accommodate basic requests (like getting extra towels at night). If they improved the staffing & management of this hotel, I would stay again & recommend.
