The location is great. The sight of San Giorgio Maggiore across
the lagoon is spectacular.
The Hotel Metropole rises from the heart of the city on the lagoon,
and appears overlooking the magical 'Bacino di San Marco' (the lagoon
area in front of St. Mark's Square). Only a few metres away from
St. Mark's Square, it's easy to arrive at the hotel from the various
arrival points into Venice.
