Abano Grand Hotel  

In downtown Abano Terme, about a 45-minute drive from Venice and roughly 61 km from Marco Polo Airport. Set steps from Piscin Termali Columbus and Urbano Termale Park, and close to the Amleto and Donato Sartori Mask Museum and the Colli Euganei — a prime spot for a luxury spa escape.
