our first trip to italy is just around the corner in august. you have all been so helpful with dining ideas i am hoping for some input on our hotel choices. st. regis grand rome the gallery hotel in florence the baeur in venice. do any of these have a pool. with only 3 days in venice will we have time to find a place to swim, if so where do you suggest? we have arranged for daily touring each day one half day with the rest as free time. thanks again

See tip #2 on http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34541267 -- curious as to how I found this previous post of yours? Click on your own name (in case you are unfamiliar with this valuable tip for finding your own previous posts).

Best wishes,

Can't you call or email the hotels and ask if they have pools? How did you book them (point being if it was a travel agent, can't your TA answer the question).

Truly I hope I don't sound snippy because i don't mean it that way, but with your extremely vague title the likelyhood that someone who know these 3 specific hotels, will read your post, and tell you if there's a pool... well it seems like a bit of a long shot here.

i guess i was just hoping for some recent feedback on any of the three hotels and a by the way question that came up and of course i can ask the hotel or ta thanks anyway

sure, that's why i think the hotel names and cities mentioned in your title might help you get responses if people have stayed at them.
