Marco and on the Bacino di S. Marco. The wide, white facade is comprised of three separate designs, the result of the merger of two hotels with a section built between, to unite them. The result is a stunning landmark on one of the most famous promenades in the world. Because the word Palace is part of the name, I envisioned walking into a traditional formal environment. That was the case until 2000, when it was redesigned and refurbished. The lobby, bar and lounge are now a bright blend of new and old and a bit of Mediterranean, created by the blending of white walls, columns, pillars, mosaic floors, the soft colors of the Venetian glass decorations, and refined simple classical furniture. It is brilliant, both in execution and ambiance. The word Palace also invokes great size. In actuality there are 53 rooms and suites, each one different, all of them furnished and decorated for ultimate comfort. The Londra Palace is a stylish boutique hotel. The general manager and his deputy are constantly available, chatting with and getting to know their guests, building lasting relationships. The concierge has been with the hotel for over 25 years and is an expert on everything Venetian. He is also the father of the deputy manager. [Back to Top] Our corner room, way up on the fifth floor, was glorious. The wooden-beamed, vaulted ceiling and walls gave a country feeling to the extremely generous proportions. To the right was a small den with a loveseat and a window overlooking the Basin of St. Marks and the island of St. George. (Did I mention that one hundred windows in the hotel have this view?) Next to the den was a huge whirlpool tub with a motorized sliding wooden cover. The rest of that wall had built-in closets and shelves, etc. behind wooden doors. The king bedroom area had a table and chairs, a desk and a unit for the large television and mini-bar. Windows (three exposures) provide sea views and Venice views that are breathtaking. The furnishings, antiques and paintings are genuine and elegant. The wooden beams continue into the large, windowed, bathroom with a large glass stall shower, attractive sink stand and beautiful antique Venetian mirror. All the fixtures are of superior quality as were the personal care products, towels, robes and slippers. At this point we didn't care how hard it rained outside. This exquisite, romantic oasis would take care of us nicely, thank you very much! There is a staircase from the 5th floor to a small roof deck with incomparable 360 degree views. Tchaikovsky loved Venice and it was in room 106 at this hotel that he composed his Fourth Symphony in 1877. The decor in that room pays homage to this great composer."
