Tucked away in the Dorsoduro district – the ‘real’ Venice, full of shops, restos and artisan boutiques – plus the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

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