Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal ****

Rating by guests: There are no reviews for this hotel.

This hotel, which overlooks the Grand Canal, the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio, is in one of Venice's most charming and atmospheric areas. From 1638, the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the first ‘Ridotto Pubblico’: an occasion to which nobility and people from all walks of life would retire for pleasure and intrigue. Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop for his conquests. Palazzo Selvadego (the dependence of Monaco & Grand Canal) is situated 50 metres from the hotel. Some rooms are equipped with a bathtub and others with a shower.
