Once used by the Doge of Venice to house foreign merchants, the Antica Locanda Sturion today serves as an elegant hotel
for visitors to the romantic city of Venice. This three-star hotel overlooks the famous Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal
and reinforces the historic beauty for which this city is known.
Bathed in fine woods, rich fabric and ornate accessories, the interior of the Antica Locanda Sturion takes guests back
to a time of royalty and sophistication. In addition to elegant and comfortable accommodations, the hotel boasts modern
amenities such as Internet service, fax machine, tourist information and a small library with books in several languages.
Each of the 11 guest rooms within the Antica Locanda Sturion recalls the ambiance of the 1700s. Handmade brocades are
just one luxury that guests will appreciate. Large windows open to a view of the Grand Canal, where gondolas gracefully
float along. Complementing this timeless setting are modern conveniences that today's traveler demands: satellite TV,
mini bar, air conditioning and private baths.
The Bistrot de Venise, located within the Antica Locanda Sturion, serves Venetian and classic Italian cuisine with an
international touch. Specialties include lasagna with European lobster, shrimp tails in almond tempura and dark chocolate
souffle with mint sauce and coffee bonbon.
