Colombina Hotel  

In the heart of Venice, a few steps from St. Mark’s Square and St. Mark’s Basilica, set along the Canonica Rio with a direct view of the Bridge of Sighs. The hotel sits in a noble Venetian palazzo where gondola serenades and water-taxi arrivals set the scene.

Atmosphere is refined 18th‑century Venetian — frescoed atriums, a private courtyard with an ancient well and a historic noble floor. Guestrooms blend old‑world bones with modern comforts: air conditioning, minibars, LCD TVs, private bathrooms with bidets, safes and blackout drapes.

Standouts include a private water dock for water taxis and alfresco aperitifs, a cocktail bar and bistrot, complimentary Wi‑Fi and a tour desk to book excursions. The hotel also offers room service (limited hours), laundry/dry cleaning, multilingual staff and 24‑hour front desk service.

Complimentary wireless internet and express check‑in keep things efficient. Concierge services, luggage storage and a shuttle/transfer service (roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge) are on hand for seamless logistics.

The Cocktail Bar & Bistrot serves typical Venetian specialties, gourmet dishes, fine Italian wines and sought‑after spirits. Buffet breakfasts are served in the frescoed atrium or Palazzo lounge (daily 7:00–10:30 for a fee), and the dock offers a memorable spot for alfresco dining or an aperitif.
