I. Location
In the heart of Venice, convenient to St. Mark's Square and the splendid Ducal Palace, the 4-star Hotel dei Dragomanni is the ideal place to begin discovering the charm of this timeless city.
You're just a stone's throw away from La Fenice theater - one of the temples of international music, and the antique market in Campo San Maurizio; nearby, the prestigious Palazzo Grassi expo center and Santa Maria del Giglio church boasting some of Tintoretto's impressive frescoes.
If you cross the famous Accademia bridge, you'll find yourself in the famous Gallerie that houses numerous Venetian artworks from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries; further on, heading towards the Chiesa della Salute, Palazzo Venier houses the impressive ‘Peggy Guggenheim’ modern art collection.
In Calle XXII Marzo, the international fashion label boutiques provide luxury shopping opportunities just before entering the parlor in St. Mark's Square with its famous cafes and the basilica's radiant facade, leading you down the Mercerie to the Rialto bridge for a ‘spritz’, the traditional Venetian cocktail.
Venice is also: the Biennale d’Arte, the International Film Festival in Lido di Venezia, the elegant glass from Murano, Burano lace, a romantic stroll on the Zattere shore and the quiet charm of the Cannaregio district...
