Located in the heart of the Venice Lido, & built at the turn of the 20th century in 1905, the imposing 4-star Grande Albergo Ausonia & Hungaria was originally the favourite haunt of Austro-Hungarian aristocrats visiting Venice. Harking back to the beginnings of the fortunes of the Venice Lido as an exclusive holiday resort, the Grande Albergo Ausonia & Hungaria is a beautiful & elegant reminder of a bygone era. From the hotel lobby, through the American Bar & the restaurant, right through to the rooms, guests are sure to appreciate the grandiose architecture, antique furnishings & classical ambience of the hotel. Facilities are comprehensive & in keeping with a hotel of this category, but it`s the hotel`s style, outdoor terrace & location which are the real selling points. Located no more than 5 minutes` walk from the vaporetto (water bus) stop, guests can reach St. Mark`s Square & all that Venice has to offer, in no more than 10 minutes.,
