Luna Hotel Baglioni

Just off Piazza San Marco on the street leading down to Harry's Bar, this luxury hotel may be Venice's oldest inn, converted into a hotel from a convent in the 1200s. "Standard" rooms are situated on dreary airshafts but are otherwise very nice, midsize with more modish styling and walk-in closets (in some) than that of the pricier-category rooms. The "deluxe" rooms are richly carpeted, with ornate stucco around the wall fabrics, Murano chandeliers and sconces, watercolors and prints, and double sinks with golden fixtures set in the marble bathrooms. Many sprout small balconies with a partial view of the little Royal Gardens at the Grand Canal. Junior suites are very large, with half-testers and huge bathrooms, though only no. 505 has the views of the Bacino San Marco (into which the Grand Canal empties). The elegant breakfast room is covered with remarkable 18th-century frescoes and gilt-edged paintings.
