Venice, Italy

Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs. There’s nowhere like it in the world. A magical city that rises out of the water like a fantasy film set, a canal view down every street. Gondolas weaving their way between ferries and transport barges. Sunset on the lagoon. Venice is everyone’s dream city, a must visit in everyone’s lifetime.

The Hyatt Centric Venice Murano is an oasis of peacefulness far away from the crowds of the main island, although close enough to feel its magical charm and atmosphere. Enclosed in the walls of an old furnace renovated into a modern and cozy hotel, the 119 contemporary guestrooms ensure a comfortable and exclusive stay. Rooms are equipped with LCD TV with satellite channels, laptop sized in-room safe, minibar, tea facilities and elegant furnishings enhanced by Venini lighting. A permanent exhibition of glass works by local and renowned artists can be seen in the common areas of the property. Overlooking the Canal Grande of Murano, the hotel is located a few steps away from the nearest pier and so easily accessible by water bus, 24/7 service and hotel shuttle.
