Traditional elegant
This well located hotel offers a quiet location yet is within easy reach of all the main attractions. Close to St Mark’s Square, the location of the magnificent Basilica and Doge’s Palace, the Hotel Flora is in the very heart of old Venice. The Teatro Fenice, Santo Stefano Church and many magnificent palazzi surround the hotel in the beautiful campos and elegant squares of the San Marco district. Further afield, yet still within easy walking distance, are the Galleria dell’Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, both renowned for their fabulous art collections.
One of the few luxury hotels in Venice with the added benefit of a garden, the Hotel Flora certainly lives up to its name. The delightful courtyard gardens are full of flowers and greenery and are a delightfully tranquil place to enjoy breakfast or unwind after a hectic day’s sightseeing. Located within a 17th century palazzo, this luxury hotel in Venice’s most elegant district was once the School of Painting. Many famous Venetian artists must have passed over the threshold in times gone by.
The hotel’s 43 guest rooms are appropriately decorated and comfortably furnished with period antiques which were hand-picked by the owners, the Romanelli’s, to reflect the traditional elegance of this luxury hotel. Rooms are all different and vary in both size and outlook, but you can request a garden view. Damask fabrics and gold-painted cornices complete the elegant appeal of this delightfully old-fashioned residence. Rooms all enjoy the benefits of air conditioning, WiFi internet access, cable TV and small but luxurious bathrooms with heated towel rails.
This luxury hotel has excellent amenities including a cozy bar, furnished with plush red seating in a club-like setting, which serves everything from tea to cognac. The breakfast room serves a continental breakfast buffet to guests each morning. There is no on-site restaurant, but the concierge will be happy to recommend some excellent local dining locations. This luxury hotel, in the very heart of Venice, is well-priced considering its excellent location and high standards.
