The Grand Hotel Dei Dogi
is a luxury hotel located in a secluded corner of Venice, just off the
Grand Canal. It is regarded as one of the most spectacular hotels in Venice
and it is a great choice for the discerning traveler. Built in an ancient
palace that once housed the French Embassy, the hotel completed an exhaustive
restoration in 2001 to bring the premises back to its original splendor.
The unique Venetian style is intact and the hotel now looks much as it
did four centuries ago when it was still the Embassy.
The guest rooms have all the modern conveniences that one would expect
from a luxury hotel, while retaining the décor and furnishing-style
of the 18th century. The onsite restaurant is excellent and exclusive,
serving dished to the highest international standards. The hotel also
has a secret courtyard garden, obscured behind the high walls of the property,
where guests can take retreat to a place that has offered respite to both
kings and nuns in the distant past. The hotel's grand hall spans the width
of the building, providing a remarkable gallery that overlooks the lagoon.
When guest decide to venture out, the hotel offers free shuttle boats
to various points of the city. The Grand Hotel Dei Dogi is convenient
to fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
