The Restaurant La Cusina, situated in The Westin Europa & Regina Hotel, is one of the most fabulous restaurants in Venice and is located just a short walk from St. Mark's Square or from the vaporetto stop San Marco Vallaresso.

Open 7 days for lunch and dinner, and catering for up to 110 guests, Restaurant La Cusina offers a unique combination of inspiring Grand Canal views, innovative fresh flavours by Executive Chef Alberto Fol, and an open kitchen, one of the few in italy.

Discover the traditional dishes from the surrounding islands and Veneto mainland made from seasonal ingredients, local seafoods, meats and game, homemade pastas, rice and polenta, and the rare exotic influence from the East.

To complement your meal is an exceptional selection of wines, both national and international, and the stunning views of Venice's Grand Canal and beautiful architectural monuments.

Special dietry and kids menus are available.

The Restaurant Club del Doge is situated in two rooms on the left side of the Hotel Gritti Palace in the heart of Venice.

The restaurant offers up to 60 diners a warm, discreet and elegant atmosphere and the Executive Chef Daniele Turco warmly welcomes you.

The atmosphere, impeccable service and superb cuisine have made the Club del Doge Restaurant a renowned meeting point for Venetian and international high society.

As soon as spring weather permits, the restaurant moves outdoors onto Club del Doge's splendid Terrace on the Grand Canal, facing the famous church of Santa Maria della Salute and offering extraordinary views of San Giorgio Maggiore and its church.

In 2013, after a full renovation, the Restaurant Club del Doge reopened. View the gallery below which also features the Gritti Epicurean School and Bar Longhi.

Restaurant Terrazza Danieli is one of Venice's top restaurants and dining locations. It is located near Palazzo Ducale, the Grand Canal and just a few steps from St. Mark’s on the top floor of Hotel Danieli's Palazzo Danieli Excelsior.

The restaurant  caters for up to 90 guests, both indoors and during warmer weather, on its panoramic terrace.

Enjoy rare views of the Venice lagoon, the island of San Giorgio, and romantic sunsets over the Grand Canal as it flows into Saint Mark's Basin.

Venice can be admired all year round through the restaurant's large windows, while outdoor seating is available from May until October (weather permitting).

The interiors by design architect Jacques Garcia are the perfect backdrop for the culinary creations of Executive Chef Gian Nicola Colucci.

It does not get much better than this!. The luxury Hotel Gritti Palace is situated along the Grand Canal in Venice and was built in 1525 as the residence of Andrea Gritti, the Doge of Venice.

As well as staying in one of the world's best luxury hotels you will be just a short walk from Venice's elite shopping district and main attractions such as Saint Mark's Square, Basilica, Palazzo Ducale and La Fenice Opera House.

Near the hotel and just across the Grand Canal are contemporary art galleries and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Pinault's Punta delle Salute, and Accademia art museums.

The Westin Europa & Regina Venice Hotel is located on the famous Grand Canal only a few steps from Saint Mark's Square.

This luxury hotel is convenient to designer shopping boutiques, La Fenice Opera House, outdoor cafès and the city's main attractions.

The hotel is spread over five historic buildings dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. Of these, the hotel's Palazzo Barozzi wing was completely redecorated in 2009 and offers guests the chance to experience a noble palace in grand venetian style.

The Hotel Danieli is a superb combination of three remarkable Venetian palazzi dating back to the 14th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, the oldest of which once belonged to the family of Doge Dandolo.

Today, the property offers 5 star luxury hotel accommodation and fine dining in central Venice by the Grand Canal.

Located along the Riva degli Schiavoni near both the Ponte dei Sospiri and Palazzo Ducale, the 225 guest rooms and suites are furnished with stylish antique décor in keeping with the rich cultural heritage of the buildings.
