Leading via footpath directly to the main plaza and basilica of Venice's ancient San Marco district, this eighteenth century residence is also accessible to the rest of the city and airport by means of canal boat. Antique furniture and Murano lamps merge with modern amenities including satellite television and direct dial telephones in traditional Venetian style guestrooms. The hotel's dark wood paneled, antique mirror themed cocktail bar is a tribute to the many craftsmen whose workshops once lined the ancient street on which the residence lies. Guests also have use of a parlor with relaxation zone and Internet corner with two workstations. A distance of 50 meters brings guests into the ancient San Marco Piazza, and in turn the famous basilica, bell tower and streets crammed with exclusive boutiques and restaurants. Information on these and other sights and activities in and around the city is available from the hotel's concierge desk located within the red and white marble lounge. Venice's Marco Polo Airport lies at a distance of 10 kilometers.
