"Near the Accademia bridge, this Art Deco fabulous boutique hotel has a dinstinctly minimalist twist despite its antiquated exterior."
Venice’s first true designer hotel, the Ca’ Pisani, is a converted Venetian house. This luxury hotel is located behind the Accademmia and near the Peggy Guggenheim in a great part of ‘real’ Venice. This is the choice for those who are looking for a modern Venetian experience.
The rooms
This boutique hotel’s 29 spacious and light rooms are off wide, cool corridors. Interesting silvered furniture, walnut beds, dark wood furnishings, leather chairs and arm chairs in black and burnt orange are offset by cool cream and beige walls. These rooms create a modern elegance that is more than skin deep.
Doors are of solid inlaid wood at this boutique hotel. The harmony continues in the bathrooms, the superior of which have large walk-in separate showers. The best rooms are the corner rooms with two windows and tallest ceilings are on the first floor, therefore room 16 would be a favourite. The third-floor rooms have lower ceilings in the eaves, but are just as special.
