Centurion Palace - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

The Centurion Hotel is located in Venice, and the easiest way to get there - or at least, the way that we got there - is by taxi. Upon arrival at the hotel, our first impression was better than good. The room was great, although next time we'll ask for a room overlooking the Grand Canal. The vaporetto "buses" or, if you can afford it, the taxis, are the best way to get around - they'll take you to your destination, and you're sure to enjoy the trip. You can also walk: we walked to the Piazza San Marco, and it was worth it, though it was very hot. I recommend eating at the hotel; if you book in advance, you can dine right on the Canal, making for a romantic evening.

The Centurion Palace (Venice) offers luxury accommodation on the Grand Canal, one of the oldest areas of Venice. It's in a building dating to 1892, which combines period exteriors with high-design interiors. Facilities include gym and private gardens and fountains. The 50 rooms feature free wi-fi and satellite TV, slippers and a robe. The bar-restaurant serves gourmet cuisine.
