The Hotel, which overlooks the
Grand Canal, is in one of Venice's most charming and atmospheric
areas. 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. The recent restoration has managed to revive, with a contemporary
feel, the atmosphere of this historic building. It is now possible to organize conferences for over 250 people in
the very heart of Venice. |
