Sleek Venice design hotel in the Santa Croce district

Discover Venice from an elegant and centrally-located base with aquatic-inspired interiors, just a 12-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge - includes breakfast and more perks

• Eclectic Venice abode: Housed in a glittering 17th-century palazzo, the fabulous Hotel Aquarius Venice is an ode to the city's iconic water-meets-land setting. Oozing timeless Italian elegance, interiors blend old-world features like exposed brick and frescoed walls with sleek contemporary designs and aquatic-inspired touches, from the lobby's vast aquariums to hand-painted fish and seashell motifs adorning the walls.

• Atmospheric eats: Start your day the Venetian way at the beautiful Salone Zambelli, where a tempting breakfast buffet awaits with all your favourite morning staples and scrumptious local specialities. Later on, raise a glass to your adventures under the magnificent chandelier at the Schubert Bar, and in the warmer months, unwind with a drink and a snack in the secluded Hidden Garden. 

• Sightseeing launchpad: With many of the city's highlights within walking distance, you'll be well-placed to while away your hours between museum visits, shopping sprees and gondola rides. When you're done, ease weary limbs with a pampering massage, blow off steam in the Technogym fitness room, or perhaps debrief over a cup of tea in the frescoed tea salon.
