Near busses, planes, trains and automobiles (right off the A14) for easy all-mode access.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.

Location, location, location — you can’t beat being sandwiched between Piazza San Marco and Rialto.

This storied hotel situated in the ancient Schedoni Palace expertly blends historical charm and must-have modern comforts.
