Built in 1905 - at the beginning of the fortune of the Lido of Venice as an exclusive holiday resort - in Reinassance style, the Hungaria Palace Hotel was enriched in 1914 by covering the entire facade with polychromatic majolica tiles. The work created by Luigi Fabris, the famous ceramist from Bassano was completed before the first world war; it is a unique example of the expansion, even in Venice, of a Viennese flavour for facade decoration. Furniture in all rooms is original and was made by the famous master ebanist Eugenio Quarti (1867-1929), one of the leading artists of Italian Art Nouveau. The hotel rooms are bright and elegant, all with original Art Nouveau furniture equipped with all comforts. Each room features direct dial telephone, air conditioning and heating, Sat-TV, mini bar, Strongbox, no-panic closing and fireproof doors, private bathroom with bath or shower and wide mirrors bath's accessories and hairdryer. The Hungaria Palace Hotel is just five minutes from the boat stops for St. Mark's Square and five minutes from the famous beach. You can easily reach the hotel by car with only 25 minutes trip by ferry-boat from Tronchetto terminal, through the Giudecca Canal: a very amazing route and an exciting impact for those arriving in Venice for the first time.
