Hotel and restaurant on the lagoon. This historic hotel prides itself on having received such artists and celebrities as Tchaikovsky, D’Annunzio, Verne, Brodsky and Borges. Since 1853, they and others have been captivated by Londra Palace and its dream location — Piazza San Marco is a stone’s throw away, as are the vaporetti and gondolas for exploring the canals. One hundred windows look out over the San Marco basin and the lagoon, with the views over the roofs and church towers from the other side of the building being no less beautiful. Inside, fine furniture, tapestries and brocades adorn the elegantly decorated rooms; and the restaurant adds a creative touch to the great classics of Venetian cuisine. ... Learn moreless

In the kitchen, Emanuele reinvents traditional dishes and gives pride of place to the produce of this region which boasts both mountains and the sea – sea bass, sea urchins, pork, vegetables –, whilst wild herbs gathered in the surrounding area add an original finishing touch to meticulously produced dishes. ...
