The Hotel Bonvecchiati, a 4-star hotel in Venice housed in a historic palazzo, has been famous in the city for centuries for the “terrazza” that hosts and gives its name to the restaurant, and for the quality of the services it offers. The hotel has large halls, elegantly decorated in a modern Venetian style and enhanced by precious marble and valuable fabrics, that provide comfortable spaces for moments of relaxation and socializing.

The lobby is perfect for reading the international newspapers provided for guests, surfing the Internet or having a drink, cup of coffee or aperitif at the bar. Refined elegance, comfort and exclusive services, a water landing for gondolas and motor boats and a romantic restaurant on the terrace: the Hotel Bonvecchiati, which has been welcoming guests to the heart of Venice since 1790, is just 3 minutes from Saint Mark’s Square and 5 from the Rialto Bridge, for the most exclusive and unforgettable of visits.

The walk through the area around the hotel is a true pleasure: Fondamenta Orseolo follows the canal and will take you to Saint Mark’s Square crossing the Orseolo Basin, a picturesque gondola station (the largest in Venice) that holds scores of boats, creating one of Venice’s most characteristic sights. After you pass under the portico, you will find the spectacle of Saint Mark’s Square opening up before you. The long porticos of the Procuratie define the perimeter of the Square and frame Saint Mark’s Basilica with its splendid Byzantine shapes adorned with spires, gothic pinnacles and glittering mosaics.
Just as Saint Mark’s Square is the heart of Venice’s art, history and faith, the Rialto has always been the city’s commercial center. From the Hotel Bonvecchiati you can get there in 5 minutes on foot, passing through lively lanes and picturesque squares filled with artisans’ workshops and designer boutiques for those who love Shopping.  The characteristic Rialto Bridge crosses the Grand Canal and takes you to the heart of the fruit and vegetable market. The colorful stands offer the early produce from Sant’Erasmo, Venice’s island vegetable garden, while a little farther on, the Pescheria offersmoeche and masenete (crabs), schie (lagoon prawns), some of the lagoon’s crustaceans and fish that, along with the vegetables from Sant’Erasmo are transformed into authentic delicacies on the tables of the Bonvecchiati’s restaurant.

The restaurant inside the Hotel Bonvecchiati provides an elegant atmosphere and impeccable service. It overlooks the terrace and canal for a pleasant, romantic dinner or business lunch.
