Hotel Palazzo Selvadego (Venice, Italy)

You can't get any closer to St Mark's Square. Nothing tops staying in the heart of the city in such fine accommodations. It's a lovely experience.

Breakfast is not served at the hotel itself; however, it's a lovely affair at its sister hotel. Eating breakfast on the terrace at the Grand Canal with stunning views is amazing.

The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. The room design is elegant, unique, functional, and comfortable. The hardwood floors give the rooms a clean, fresh feel.

The hotel is a sister hotel so the check in is at the sister hotel. This can be a bit tiring after a long flight, train or car ride, and you have to take the water taxi to check into your accommodations. The hotel is tricky to find too.

The hotel does not offer any food services itself, but does have a minibar in the room, which doesn't help much as drinking yourself to a full stomach is not recommended. Then again, the location is great with plenty of places to satisfy your palette.

If you can, ask for a room with a view or you could find yourself facing a wall. Buildings are close and space is tight in the city. To be in such a fantastic location and all you get is a wall for a view is a let down.
