For a recent milestone birthday, I treated my wife to a week at the five-star Bauer Hotel in romantic Venice. The hotel, a longtime favorite of local artists and royalty, is just a five-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and some of the city's most elegant shops. Guests may take advantage of the hotel's own water dock off the Grand Canal, which makes for convenient gondola trips. Inside, we dined heartily at De Pisis - our favorite table was outdoors on the terrace overlooking the canal. Stop by the B-Bar for a dramatic view of the Chiesa della Salute and a menu of original cocktails.

There are TWO separate buildings at this location, "Bauer Il Palazzo" and the Bauer Hotel.

Bauer Hotel is part of the Virtuoso Portfolio brand. Bauer Il Palazzo is part of the Virtuoso Collection brand. Rates and amenities are different at each property, so please ensure you are specific when making a reservation and remember to advise your clients accordingly. Thank you.

The deluxe five-star Bauer Hotel offers its guests warm hospitality, impeccable service and a genteel atmosphere that have long made this grand hotel a Venice favourite of artists and royalty for generations. Located in the heart of Venice, the Bauer Hotel's main entrance is on Campo San Moisè, just a five-minute walk from St Mark's Square and the most elegant shops in Venice. The hotel also benefits from a own water dock in Rio di San Moisè, a small canal off Venice's Grand Canal, frequented by gondoliers throughout the summer.

Encompassing the true atmosphere of Venice, Bauer Hotel offers 97 luxurious and spacious guest rooms and 18 suites, all retaining a nostalgic charm, with beautiful early 40th and 50th-century furnishings, perfectly blended with modern facilities and up-to-date technological innovation, accompanied by enticing views of Venice.

Featuring fine Venetian and Mediterranean cuisine, the hotel restaurant, De Pisis, offers intimate gourmet dining, either indoors or on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal. Hotel guests can also enjoy the view of the Grand Canal and the famous Venice landmark, the Chiesa della Salute, from Bauer Hotel's B-Bar where original cocktails and drinks are prepared daily, accompanied by a buffet and snacks. Bar Gran Canale is the perfect setting for a relaxed aperitif throughout the summer months.

Bauer Hotel offers a variety of newly renovated meeting and function rooms that include two boardrooms for up to 12 attendees. Ideal for business conferences and private parties in Venice, the meeting rooms can be configured to a variety of settings for up to 140 guests.
