Fodor's Expert Review Hotel San Nicolò

Comfort combines with warm hospitality and distinctive decor—public areas are elegant with choice antiques, while each guest room is themed after a global city—at this well-run central hotel in a handsome palazzo near Chiesa di San Nicolò. For a taste of the exotic, try the Shanghai room or go Art Deco in the Parigi (Paris) room; the Treviso and Venezia junior suites offer some Veneto grandeur. There's a great bar overlooking the street, and a lobby area combines soothing contemporary tones with period furnishings, vibrant artwork, and exposed-brick architectural features.
