The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo Sul Canal Grande

"Other attractions are the sizable bathrooms (the rooms themselves are spacious by European standards), a stylish Art Deco bar that doubles as the breakfast area (a meal that is delicious rather than passable), and a great location on vaporetto route No"

"Each room, whether suite or standard, feels like a refuge; a long, ultra-chic bar runs the length of the piano nobile (principal floor) to a balcony above the canal, just large enough for a table and two chairs"

"Other attractions are the sizable bathrooms (the rooms themselves are spacious by European standards), a stylish Art Deco bar that doubles as the breakfast area (a meal that is delicious rather than passable), and a great location on vaporetto route No"

"Brooding, chic and seductive, Barbarigo delivers 18 plush guestrooms combining modern elegance and intrigue – think dark, contemporary furniture, sumptuous velvets, feathered lamps and the odd fainting couch"

"Directly on the Grand Canal, the 18-room Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo Sul Canal Grande has wonderful water views and a lush, dramatic style characterized by black marble and thick red velvet"

"The hotel’s lounge bar — all smoky mirrors, dark velvet sofas and silk wall panels — serves snacks and creative cocktails until 11 p"

"A private pier welcomes guests arriving by gondola (or motorboat), as does the waterfront bar, serving cocktails in a glamorous vintage setting"

"The Art Deco design—all sexy monochromes and tactile fabrics—is a welcome break from the heavy damasks of most Venetian hotels, and the bar's balcony for two, cantilevered over the Grand Canal, is the perfect spot for an aperitivo"

"Other attractions are the sizable bathrooms (the rooms themselves are spacious by European standards), a stylish Art Deco bar that doubles as the breakfast area (a meal that is delicious rather than passable), and a great location on vaporetto route No"

"In a glorious setting on the Grand Canal within easy walking distance of major sites – and with a vaporetto stop right outside if walking isn’t your thing – this hotel is attractive and well-run with a nice canal-side bar"
