Desserts are a speciality here, so save room.
Have your gondolier drop you directly at the marble entrance to Luna Hotel Baglioni, overlooking the Grand Canal. Your conversation will involuntarily sink to an awed whisper as you enter the museum-quality lobby, adorned with soaring frescoed ceilings, Murano chandeliers, and authentic period furniture.
Rooms are appointed with antique furnishings, silk fabrics, and marble bathrooms. Sip your morning cappuccino in the privacy of your own terrace, or simply while away an afternoon with a bottle of your favorite Bardolino Classico on a balcony overlooking the Grand Canal.
Savor regional specialties at Luna Hotel Baglioni's Canova Restaurant, or sink into the sumptuous luxury of the Salone Marco Polo, where the original Tiepolo frescoes will prove an alluring distraction.
As difficult as it might be to tear yourself away from this beautiful hotel, all Venice's treasures, including St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, and the Correr Museum are just steps away.
