Overview
This old-established Hotel Londra Palace Venice arose from the union of two hotels that were founded between 1850 and 1860 on the magnificent Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront. The hotel looks onto the splendid Riva degli Schiavoni, a few steps away from the Doges' Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. The Riva waterfront, a good 500 meters long, goes from St Mark's basin to the district of Castello. The Londra Palace is privileged to have no fewer than a hundred windows on the lagoon that enable guests to enjoy a view that goes from the Salute Basilica to the island of Giudecca and the various islands dotted about in this part of the lagoon: San Giorgio Maggiore, San Servolo, San Lazzaro degli Armeni and Lido.
The careful restoration has succeeded in keeping the history, personality and architecture of the hotel intact, but has also pervaded it with the modernity made up of light and contrast that is typical of the new millennium. The juxtaposition of different ages has proved to be very successful: on one hand there is a collection of Biedermeier furniture, paintings and antiques, on the other hand some of the latest communication technologies, which are so necessary to the contemporary traveler. |
