Contemporary chic

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.
