Fodor's Expert Review Baglioni Hotel Luna

Just a short stroll from Piazza San Marco—though on a quiet side street that seems a world away—this charming hotel will please those seeking traditional Venetian decor in an ultra-convenient location. Each room is done up differently, though all feature period furnishings, Murano glass chandeliers, and patterned wallpaper. To truly feel like royalty, stay in the Sansovino Lagoon View or San Giorgio Terrace suites; they contain enormous private terraces where the views of rooftops and water last for miles. All gleaming marble and with double sinks, some bathrooms have deep soaking tubs or even double showers. Ortigia products amp up the sophisticated feel. Canova restaurant offers classic dishes—nothing too innovative, but solid, well-prepared Venetian cuisine.
