Antico Panada

With a cosy and refined ambiance and a devoted, discreet staff ready to cater to the needs and wants of demanding travellers, Hotel Antico Panada offers tranquillity and elegance in the midst of the liveliness of Saint Mark’s district. Guests can comfortably read or chat in the parlour, equipped with satellite TV and internet access, or relax in the small jewel of this Venetian hotel - the refined Bar Ai Speci.

The comfortable and peaceful rooms of this welcoming Venetian hotel are decorated in 18th century style Venetian furniture, featuring lovely Murano lamps.

Bar Ai Speci, an old Venetian retreat open until midnight, is a highlight of the hotel. It features walls panelled with dark wood and authentic period mirrors tastefully selected and placed. This collection, and the name of the bar itself, recall the ancient art of the “Specieri” - mirror craftsmen who had heir shops along the hotel's street for centuries. You may order a typical Spritz, a good cup of espresso or one of many international cocktails.

In the breakfast room, guests will find a continental buffet breakfast that offers several Venetian pastry specialities.

Hotel Panada overlooks Calle degli Specchieri, a street that leads directly, without crossing any bridges, to Basilica of San Marco and to one of the most beautiful piazzas in the world, Piazza San Marco. There you will experience the majestic Bell Tower, the Ducal Palace and the Clock Tower.

In addition to being a stone's throw from the artistic and historic sites of what was once called "the most serene republic", this elegant Venetian hotel is set close to the city's most exclusive boutiques and most celebrated stores and restaurants.

It takes Hotel Antico Panada's guests just a few minutes to reach landmarks such as Rialto Bridge, with its characteristic fish market, and Grand Theatre La Fenice, which has returned to its position as one of the most important theatres on the international music scene.
