| Description: | Hotel Bauer IL Palazzo Venice, Italy. Since first opening its doors in 1850, the Hotel Bauer IL Palazzo has set the standard for hospitality in Venice. This grand palatial hotel incorporates two buildings of distinct ages: the 18th Century "palazzo" on the Grand Canal and a modern wing on the delightful Campo San Moise. Operated today by a third generation of the Bennati family, the hotel has recently (2000) completed a 40 million dollar, 2-year renovation that has encompassed engineering systems to decor and furnishings. The modern Bauer Il Palazzo Hotel is a beautiful example of Italian 1940's architecture that includes large public areas, dining rooms, meeting and banquet facilities. The hotel offers 96 Double Rooms, 4 Junior Suites and 17 Suites. Each room is designed in the modern Venetian decor and features individually controlled air-conditioning, walk-in closet, in-room safe, minibar, satellite TV, direct dial international telephone and PC outlet. The 75-Room "Il Palazzo" includes 2 Royal Suites, 32 Suites, 8 Junior Suites and 35 Double Rooms - all fully equipped with the most modern amenities - and most with panoramic views overlooking Venice and the Basin of San Marco, and with private balconies and terraces. More than ready to serve its guests far into the new century, the Bauer seamlessly weds state-of-the-art technology to the traditional artisan craftsmanship for which Venice is world-renowned. |
