Profile


 
The Metropole is a very special 4 star hotel facing Venice Lagoon, just a few steps from Piazza S. Marco. Contemporary comfort in an antique setting. A 4 star hotel in a house built on the site of an orphanage church in which Antonio Vivaldi composed and played his music, between 1703 and 1740.
 
In the late 1800 it became "Pension Kirsch" and among the lodgers in the year 1895 was Sigmund Freud (Father of the Psychoanalysis). The hotel position is superb and the view the hotel commands over the city stupendous. Overlooking the lagoon where it meets the Grand Canal and just 3 minuts walk from St.Mark's Square.
 
To be precise 488 meters along the waterfront. This lovely building has been restored to its former splendour. The interiors are as baroque as can be, gilded chandeliers, clocks and mirrors, bronze cherubs and the eclectic 2000 pieces displays of musical instruments, fans, corkscrews and Italy largest collection of crucifixes.
