In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All rooms have been elegantly designed according to different architectural styles, but preserving a twinkle of their medieval heritage. The larger Q3 and Q4 suites overlook the canal. Q4’s seven windows make it the lighter of the two, but we like the straw tatami flooring in Q3 – a thoughtful oriental touch that dovetails adorably with the bright white hues and all-glass Corian bathroom. Q1, the studio, can be annexed to Q2 to form a two-bedroom suite.
- Packing tips
- A map of Venice’s quirky, labyrinthine streets, otherwise you may never make it back to the hotel. (Make sure you leave behind all memories of Don’t Look Now.)
- Also
- I Qs can arrange breathtaking helicopter trips over Venice and water taxis to take you around the city from its private pier.
