Highlights
Location: Short walk to Cathedral, City Walls, Roman Amphitheatre
Rooms: Classic, Business Class, Canalside Suite
Dining: Canaletto Restaurant and Rialto Bar & Lounge
Wellness: Health Club with gym and spa services
“The canalside location is certainly a draw, with some rooms providing appealing views, though interior design choices appear uneven across the property. I noted the wellness offerings, including spa treatments by Elemis, stand out as a definite advantage. While some aspects need updating, the health club access and unique dining experiences, like the restaurant cruiser, could make for a memorable stay.”
