Doge Dandolo built his glorious Venetian Gothic palace three doors down from the Palazzo Ducale in the 14th century, and it's been one of the most sumptuous hotels in Venice since 1822. It vies with the Gritti Palace (which is now in the same family) as the most desirable address in Venice proper (there are also luxurious properties on Giudecca and the Lido), and has been host to innumerable kings, celebrities, and other noted guests as far back as Dickens. The tone of this palatial accommodation is set by the astounding four-story lobby of balustraded open balconies and stairwells, Venice's Oriental-tinged Gothic arches and palm fronds. It's ornately decorated throughout, and the rooms vary in decor, size, and style but are all opulent, in rich fabrics, antique furnishings, Oriental rugs, and lavish accents from marble bathrooms or frescoes to oil paintings or stone fireplaces. It'd be a shame to miss out on that incredible lagoon view. Rooms in the original structure have the most atmosphere but are smaller than the accommodations in the 19th-century wing. Either is far preferable to the bleak 1940s wing next door -- the rooms are fine there but lack that genteel, vintage touch.
