Hotel Giorgione
Right in the heart of historic Venice, a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge, lies Hotel Giorgione — a refined four-star hotel that embodies the passion and extravagance of Venice's past.
Located within an 18th-century noble palace, the hotel has been restored and renovated with exquisite attention to detail to provide visitors with a sophisticated yet warm environment. With its stylish decor, peaceful courtyard, and friendly Italian hospitality, Hotel Giorgione is a tribute to the timeless charm of one of the world's most captivating cities.
Location and Setting
Situated on Calle Larga dei Proverbi, Hotel Giorgione is in the middle of Venice's Cannaregio district, which is famous for its old-world Venetian flair and close proximity to the main attractions. The Rialto Bridge is a five-minute walk away, and it's a ten minutes' simple walk to Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, and the Doge's Palace.
There is a handy vaporetto (water bus) stop Ca' d'Oro just around the corner with reasonable connections to the airport, railway station, and city sights.
So wonderfully located in such a central position, it seems an oasis of tranquillity, ringed by the narrow streets over which gondolas glide silently across the water. The local area at once is lined with traditional bacari (Venetian wine bars), boutique shops, and art galleries, encapsulating Venice.
Architecture and Design
Hotel Giorgione is housed in a 18th-century Venetian palace with aristocratic elegance maintained laboriously through centuries. The building's architectural style is traditional and consistent with Venetian elegance, featuring arched windows, frescoed ceilings, and wrought-iron balconies looking out onto peaceful courtyards.
There is a retro vision of past Venice grandeur within. Murano glass chandeliers, antiques, and rich fabrics adorn the interior spaces, and terra cotta and soft light create a warm ambiance.
The hotel's public spaces — its salons and billiard room — are an evocation of Venetian private villa, with the welcoming refuge of a sitting room inviting in after long hours of exploration.
A especially dramatic touch is the interior courtyard, surrounded by verdant foliage, marble floors, and a hot Jacuzzi pool, where visitors can relax under the open sky — a rare and lovely amenity in Venice.
Rooms and Suites
Every room and suite at Hotel Giorgione is an ode to Venetian taste. The rooms have classic decor with modern amenities to provide comfort and taste.
They have doubles to deluxe suites rooms, some featuring their wooden beams exposed, original artworks, and Venetian top floor or interior court views. All of the rooms are supplied with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite television, minibars, and marble bathrooms with good toiletries.
Some suites feature Jacuzzi bathtubs, private balconies, or canal vistas, ideal for couples and guests who want a little extra luxury. Each design reflects the hotel philosophy: all the details, from the carved lamps to the brocaded drapes, are those of historical refinement and contemporary calm.
Dining and Breakfast Experience
Hotel Giorgione guests begin their mornings with a substantial Venetian breakfast buffet, served in the cheerful breakfast room or, if it is sufficiently warm, in the peaceful courtyard. The breakfast consists of a variety of freshly baked breads, specialty bread, cheeses, fruits, cereals, and traditional Italian coffee.
Though it doesn't have a full-service restaurant, the hotel features a sophisticated lounge and bar, where one can enjoy aperitifs or cocktails and light food to soak in an intimate setting.
