Frommer's Review
Hotel Messner and the Pensione alla Salute (above) are the best choices in the Guggenheim area (the choice of those in the know looking for a quiet alternative to St. Mark's), at budget-embracing rates. The Messner is a two-part hotel: In the Casa Principale (Main House) are the handsome beamed-ceiling lobby and public rooms of a 14th-century palazzo and modernized guest rooms with comfortable modular furnishings and Murano chandeliers (three overlook picturesque Rio della Fornace). The 15th-century dépendance (annex) 18m (60 ft.) away doesn't show quite as much close attention to detail in the decor, but is perfectly nice. In summer you can take breakfast in a small garden. In 2002 the owners opened a new, six-room annex just 27m (90 ft.) away. Ask about the annex when booking.
Facilities:
Restaurant (traditional Italian cuisine); bar; concierge; room service (24-hr.); babysitting; nonsmoking rooms
