Overview
Situated against the Grand Canal, the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal is a perfect spot for an unforgettably romantic getaway. Recently restored, the hotel has been revived with a contemporary feel yet retains the atmosphere of its historic origins. From 1638 the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place to which nobility and people from all walks of life, (adventurers, courtesans, swindlers, and travelers) would retire for pleasure and intrigue. Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop for his conquests. And guests will feel transported to a time of nobility and luxury with attentive service and the best in local cuisine.
