Hotel Firenze, Venice - located close by St Marks Square

Hotel Firenze, Venice

This enchanting hotel in Venice dates from the early 1500s, and is conveniently located just a few steps from Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square). Having undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment under the guiding hand of an eminent architect, the Hotel Firenze is now a marvellously elegant and comfortable three-star hotel.

There are 25 pretty rooms spread over four floors and accessible either by elevator or with ground-floor access; many of them have fabulous city views. The top floor has a charming balcony with extensive views over Basilica San Marco. Each room has its own private bathroom with a choice of bath or shower; each room also has a direct-dial telephone, stereo, satellite television and minibar. The telephone outlets are also fitted for internet connection via your own laptop. Upper rooms have balconies with views and the decor throughout is in a tasteful Venetian style with Murano glass lighting and elegant furnishings. Cots are available and there is a babysitting service.

This Italian hotel has an inviting bar serving drinks in a restful, unhurried setting. Guests enjoy a 10 per cent discount when parking at the nearby Garage San Marco (coupons available from the reception desk). The hotel staff will be only too happy to organise tickets for concerts and exhibitions or accompanied excursions to Murano or around Venice by canal. There is a 24-hour service on the hotel's front desk and all major credit cards are accepted.
