Just metres from St. Mark's Square and with its own pier, the Baglioni Hotel Luna is a 12th century palazzo that throughout its history has been a convent, an aristocratic palace and a refuge for Knights Templar. The magnificent building is a perfect example of Venetian identity, with décor that includes Murano glass chandeliers and original frescoes on the ceilings, painted by disciples of the great Tiepolo. Its Canova Restaurant offers the creations of starred chef Claudio Sadler, who exquisitely reinterprets the flavours of local gastronomy and presents them as true works of art.
