Hotel La Fenice Et Des Artistes

Location. Tucked away on a little square behind Venice's opera house and 300 metres from St Mark's Square, the 68-room Hotel La Fenice Et Des Artistes has been a destination for musicians, actors, dancers, and other artists since 1968.
Hotel Features.  Two small interior garden courtyards furnished with wrought-iron tables and chairs provide guests with fresh air in warm weather and sunny places to enjoy drinks from the bar. Drink service, as well as reading and relaxing space, is also available in two beamed-ceilinged, marble-floored salons furnished with leather and velvet seating and lined with contemporary paintings that form the hotel's annual art exhibition.

Room service is available for breakfast and dinner and for beverages from mid- morning to late night. Complimentary newspapers are laid out in the hotel's two salons that are lined with contemporary paintings and offer soft leather and velvet seating. Front-desk attendants provide concierge services such as restaurant reservations and tour bookings.

An independent indoor-outdoor restaurant once favoured by poet Gabriele D'Annunzio serves Venetian dishes and offers a discount to hotel guests.

Guestrooms. Hotel La Fenice Et Des Artistes offers 68 guestrooms in two connected four-storey buildings, one dating from 1892 and the other from 1920. The hotel owner's collection of contemporary art graces buildings' hallways.

Each room is individually decorated in classical Venetian style. Some rooms contain shower/tub combinations and others have showers but no bathtubs. All rooms are air conditioned and include satellite television, desks, and safes.

Expert Tip. To ensure inclusion in a tour of La Fenice opera house at a time and in a language of their choosing, hotel guests should walk from the hotel around the corner of the opera house to the entrance and make reservations.

Driving Directions - Hotel La Fenice Et Des Artistes

Getting there.  From the airport, visitors can go by water or by land across the lagoon to historical Venice. By water, the fastest and most expensive way is by water taxi. Less expensive and slower is a boat that stops at other islands in the lagoon and ends up docking adjacent to St Mark's Square. From there, guests can take a public water bus (vaporetto) to the S. Angelo stop, which is 300 metres from the hotel. By land, there are taxis and buses that go from the airport to Piazzale Roma, the historical centre's land-transportation terminus near the Venice-St Lucia train station. From Piazzale Roma (and from the train station on the opposite side of Grand Canal), public water buses (vaporetti) go to various stops around the city along the Grand Canal and other major waterways. More expensive water taxis go from Piazzale Roma and the train station more directly to a canal near the hotel.
