If you are looking to experience the typical brocade-and-chandelier Venetian Palazzo and stay as central as possible to the city’s main attractions without paying a small fortune, the Cavalieri might be a good alternative. It is a 5-minute walk from Piazza San Marco and equal distance to Rialto. The hotel has its own small private dock, quite convenient for arrivals with bags. The elegant venue exudes an opulent Venetian atmosphere, with Murano pieces and antiques beautifully placed throughout the common areas. The equally luxurious and spacious accommodation includes family options, and bathrooms are large in marble and equipped with lovely amenities. If possible, upgrade your stay to one of the truly enormous, airy and upscale suites. The staff runs the extra mile to appease clients’ demands. If classical Venetian is what you are looking for then the Cavailieri is the place to stay.
