Metropole  

On Venice’s Riva degli Schiavoni, just steps from Piazza San Marco and facing the lagoon with views toward the island of San Giorgio. A historic luxury hotel in Venice, within easy reach of stylish shops and the Art and Architectural Biennales.

Housed in a 16th-century building, the hotel’s halls are trimmed with period furniture and an impressive antiques collection; rooms and suites brim with personality and original pieces. Many rooms carry an Oriental allure with incense-scented air and offer lagoon views; accommodations include air conditioning, satellite TV, radio, telephone, minibar and safe.

Unwind in the Citrus Garden under exotic palms or in the stylish lobby, bar and lounge; front desk and concierge services are on hand. Wake up to lagoon-morning light and enjoy evening meals among the citrus trees.

A meeting room is available, supported by front-desk and concierge assistance for events and planning.

Home to the two-Michelin-starred Met Restaurant, where the chef’s fusion menus have earned high praise; the Citrus Garden provides a memorable backdrop for evening dining. An on-site bar and lounge complete the culinary offerings.
