Ego' Boutique Hotel - The Silk Road

Ego' Boutique Hotel - The Silk Road occupies a restored 16th-century palazzo in the San Marco district. Its interiors are decorated with objects and furniture that trace Marco Polo's journey along the Silk Road. The hotel has 8 rooms, an intimate size that allows the front desk staff to organize local excursions, restaurant reservations, and water taxi transfers directly from the property.

Each air-conditioned room includes a minibar, coffee machine, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a bidet. The Imperial Suite with Grand Canal View contains a private jacuzzi for two guests. Some rooms look onto the Grand Canal, others onto the city, and a third group faces the San Salvador canal.

Breakfast is served on the second floor in a room that overlooks the Grand Canal, or it can be brought to the guest room at no extra charge. The breakfast menu includes continental items, hot drinks, and pastries, with gluten-sensitive options. The hotel also operates a bar and offers wine and champagne, room service, and a coffee house on site.

The 24-hour front desk can arrange airport pick-up and drop-off, shuttle service, and a free walking tour of the area. The hotel provides pet bowls and pet baskets for guests traveling with animals. Luggage storage, private check-in/check-out, concierge service, and invoice delivery are all available.

The hotel sits 100 metres from the Rialto Bridge and 500 metres from Piazza San Marco. Ca' d'Oro is a few steps away, and the nearest airport is Venice Marco Polo Airport 21 km from the property. A water taxi stop sits directly outside the hotel, and the Alilaguna water bus to the airport stops at the same location.
