Description:
Elegant and welcoming, the Hotel Carlton and Grand Canal has been run with a passion for approximately 30 years by a Venetian family which loves to pay its guests attention, by providing them with valuable advise on how to capture the city's true essence. Pastel shades, Venetian stuccoes, glass wall lamps made on Murano, furnishings which, while being functional, recall the glorious Serenissima epoch: these are the elements of the new hall and bar, completely mirrored on marvellous Istria stone. Right at the center of the hotel is an original glass cupola creating light effects which highlight its sophistication. The recently restored, characteristic internal patio onto which some of the rooms look out and where guests can enjoy breakfast or relax, using it as a peaceful open-air lounge, has a notable impact on guests. The elegant Bar Carlton Café offers you the chance to taste excellent drinks and whet your appetite with unusual snacks both in the internal room and in the open-air, enjoying an unforgettable stay on the Grand Canal. The hotel also offers its guests outstanding opportunities to discover all of Venice's magic, by organizing personalized itineraries and excursions: boat tours to the lagoon islands, guided tours of the city, romantic itineraries followed by a candle lit dinner and much more.
