Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel
Venice, city of poetic canals and historic beauty, holds an amazing diversity of hotels—but none so evoke its historic and exotic nature as Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel. Located in the peaceful Cannaregio quarter, the five-star hotel offers a fascinating marriage of Moorish grace and Venetian refinement. The hotel marries opulence with tranquility, encouraging guests to see Venice as it has been seen before—through the art and beauty-drenched vision of history.
Location: Serenity at the Centre of Cannaregio
One of the most serene yet convenient locations in Venice is Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel, situated on the peaceful Fondamenta de la Sensa. Far enough away from San Marco tourist chaos but close enough to walk to all the shops and sights, the hotel is an refined retreat for sophisticated travelers.
The Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco, and the Grand Canal are at walking distance or at one of the vaporetto stops. Its close distance to the Santa Lucia Train Station and Venice Marco Polo Airport, reached by water taxi, makes it convenient to arrive for international and national visitors.
The district itself embodies the spirit of genuine Venice: quiet canals, studio ateliers, and family trattorias adorn the streets, so that tourists can absorb authentic Venetian ambiance without needing to wander too far away from the center of city life.
History and Architecture: A Palace of Moorish Heritage
Situated in a 15th-century palace, Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel owes its name to the Moorish merchants who once occupied the land during Venice's golden age of commerce. The hotel is a commemoration of this intriguing heritage, combining Islamic and Venetian design motifs into an architecture that whispers glimpses of timeless elegance.
The façade has retained the historic beauty of the building, while interior décor in oriental motifs, golden touches, and delicate arches recalling North African influence is tasteful. Every corner—the entrance hall, breakfast lounge, or the canal-lookout terrace—is a thoughtful blend of luxury and leisure.
Ai Mori d'Oriente is differentiated from the other luxury hotels in town by this infrequent combination of Oriental mystery and Venetian artistry.
