Hotel Fontana

Three generations of Stainers have been behind the front desk here since 1968 (for the 30 years prior to that, the Fontana was a convent for German nuns), and their warmth seems to pour out of the lobby's leaded-glass windows. The four-story hotel offers a pensione-like family atmosphere coupled with a crisp, professional operation. Rooms have lovely antique furnishings but a decided lack of wattage in the overhead lights; the two best on the upper floor have private terraces. The hotel installed an elevator in 2009 that whisks you up to the top for beautiful views of San Zaccaria's 15th-century façade.
