Monaco & Grand Canal

Monaco & Grand Canal - Hotel
San Marco 1332 30124 Venice Italy

The Hotel, which overlooks the Grand Canal, is in one of Venice's most charming and atmospheric areas. The Hotel Monaco has majestic views of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio.
From 1638 the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place to which nobility and people from all walks of life, (adventurers, courtesans, swindlers, and travelers) would retire for pleasure and intrigue. Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop for his conquests. Palazzo Selvadego (dependance of Monaco & Grand Canal) is situated 50 mtrs from the hotel.
