Al Gazzettino in Venice

Show description from: octopustravel activehotels

The hotel is located in Venice's downtown, between S.Marco Square and Rialto Bridge. It is a short walk away from the Mercerie, the street with the most exclusive shops. The rooms, with bathroom and air conditioning, overlook a characteristic canal, where guests can admire the passing gondolas. All rooms have been recently refurbished to a very high standard, more in keeping with a 3-star category. The restaurant offers specialities of Venetian cuisine, both meat and fish. These typical Venetian dishes and also international cuisine are served at lunch and dinner in a finely furnished and characteristic dining room. The restaurant is decorated with old newspapers on the walls, photos of stars from the past century, and a valuable map of Venice. The lobby is very small with a tiny reception desk, on the left there are the stairs that lead to the rooms. In the 19th century, the building was a textile workshop and it later became an inn for the Turkish tradesmen arriving in Venice for commercial deals with the Republic of Venice “the Serenissima”. In 1887 the seat of the local newspaper “Il Gazzettino” was established in the building next door; which is how the name was founded. Excellent standard for its category, fantastic location. Recommended. CQ 02/07

Dating back to the 19th century, the hotel is set in the city centre, between St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, in a street full of exclusive shops. The hotel is housed in an antique building which once used as a textile factory in the 19th century, later turned into a hotel for Turkish tradesmen carrying out business affairs in Venice. Boasting its own gourmet restaurant of the same name, and an inviting atmosphere in each one of its elegantly fitted and well equipped rooms, Al Gazzettino offers you a pleasant retreat in typical Venetian style.
