Overview
The Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal Venice has majestic views of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio and it is just next to Ca Giustinian the historical site of the Biennale.
From 1638 the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place to which nobility and people from all walks of life, (adventurers, courtesans, swindlers, and travelers) would retire for pleasure and intrigue. Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop for his conquests.
The recent restoration has managed to revive, with a contemporary feel, the atmosphere of this historic building. The hotel has 100 rooms furnished in grand style for those who want to stay in Venice and become part of its history. It is now possible to organize conferences for over 250 people in the very heart of Venice. Another eight halls are available for seminars and receptions.
In the Grand Canal Restaurant diners can sample traditional Venetian cuisine in impeccable decor with a delightful atmosphere. The Grand Canal Restaurant is frequented by an international clientele, but also by Venetians who choose this elegant restaurant because of the excellent food. A particular emphasis is placed on the seafood and fresh vegetables that are so essential to local specialities. The quality of the food is only matched by impeccable service and attention to our customers' requirements. |
