Elegant design and perfect Location
The Sheraton Des Bains is ideally located on the Lido and is just a 5 minute stroll from the jetty where the airport shuttle arrives and departs as well as the water buses that cross between saint marks square and the Lido.
This is an elegant property that overlooks the beach to oneside of the property and gorgeous gardens to the other.
The ornate reception is the first thing that strikes you about this hotel with its polished wooden floors, scatter rugs and polished brass you feel that your going back in time to the roaring twenties.
The rooms follow the same theme as the lobby; they are spacious with a separate sitting area from the bedroom. The bathrooms follow art décor theme creating the perfect base for a romantic stay. My room also had a view of seafront which was an added bonus.
Breakfast is served in the Liberty Restaurant and is buffet style; again the Restaurant follows the same elegant design as the rest of the hotel. When it comes to dining you are not tied to dining just in their restaurants, but can choose to eat in any other Sheraton’s in Venice such as the Hotel Danieli, The Westin Europa & Regina, Hotel Gritti Palace and The Westin Excelsior using their Sheraton club programme.
The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool, a free shuttle service to downtown and free connection to other Sheraton’s via the hotel’s own private motor launch. The hotel is meant to be haunted and you can hear creaks in the middle of night, during my stay this had added effect as there was a thunder storm causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end. (Spooky)
The gardens of the hotel where also used in the movie “The English Patient”
The gardens doubled as the British Colonial club in Cairo.
