Profile |
The hotel "Monaco & Grand Canal" with its unique location, historical significance and for the highest quality of service, which it offers to its guests is indeed the perfect place to become part of Venice. Contemporary elements introduced by recent restoration work are firmly rooted within the historical Palazzo Dandolo and the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal. |
Situated in the heart of Venice, the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal looks onto the Grand Canal in one of the most spectacular and fascinating corners of the world and affords a view of hte basilica della Salute and the Island of St. Giorgio. It is the centre of a maze of alleyways that lead to the Doge's Palace as well as the reborn Fenice Theatre. |
The Hotel "Monaco & Gran Canal" has majestic views of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio and it is just next to Cą Giustinian the historical site of the Biennale. From 1638 the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place to which nobility and people from all walks of life, (adventurers, courtesans, swindlers, and travelers) would retire for pleasure and intrigue. |
Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop for his conquests. The recent renovation (December 2004) has managed to revive, with a contemporary feel, the atmosphere of this historic building. This magnificent hotel has 100 rooms furnished in grand style for those who want to stay in Venice and become part of its history. For those who wish to stay somewhere more intimate, the Palazzo del Selvadego, dependance of the hotel, is just a short distance from the main building. |
Palazzo Selvadego consists of 40 rooms overlooking the Napoleonic Wing of St.Mark's Square. The rooms have a calm, relaxing atmosphere and express the uniqueness and charm of Venetian culture. Sophisticated and refined, Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal and its dependance suit the demands even of the most discerning clientele. |
