Have you ever dreamed of having your very own home in Venice? Living life like a real Venetian, you and your family spread out in a spacious apartment, watching the gondolas go by your picture window as you drink your morning coffee and make your plans for the day. This dream, and so many more are possible at The Hotel L’Orologio Venezia. An apartment hotel with a bit of a modern/contemporary feel set in the heart of Venice.
Recently we had the opportunity to stay at the Hotel L’Orologio Venezia, located on the Grand Canal, mere steps from the Rialto Bridge. This location is an excellent place to use as a home base to explore the sprawling and exciting city of Venice. The surprise of this hotel? Hidden away on the third floor, is a Deluxe Two Bedroom Apartment, simply perfect for families.
The two bedroom apartment consists of a large open family room with attached galley style kitchen. It’s complete with full size fridge, stove, single coffee maker and microwave. All manner of dish-ware are at your disposal. The space has a minimilast feel, but everything one could possible need to make themselves at home.
This unit is comprised of two spacious bedrooms. One with two singles (that can be pushed together to create a King) and the other a Master King suite . There are also two full bathrooms. All the space you could ever need. And of course there is the view, the mesmerizing view of the Grand Canal. No filter needed.
Included in your stay is everything you would expect at a traditional hotel:
Front desk staff and bellman
Direct-dial telephone
Coffee & Tea Maker
Microwave oven
LCD satellite TV
Safe
Wi-Fi internet connection
Air-conditioning and heating with automatic settings in the room
Minibar (additional charge)
Feather or hypoallergenic pillows upon request
Egyptian cotton sheets
Twice-daily cleaning service with evening turndown
Laundry area with washing machine
Plus a continental style buffet breakfast. The breakfast includes the normal continental fare *plus eggs, sausages, bacon, fruit cups, cookies, and Prosecco. There must be Prosecco. A fabulous way to start your day before you head out to explore the city.

What you need to know:
*The apartment is on the third floor, 46 steps up from the ground. (Yes we counted. Every single time) The affable and helpful bellman will carry your bags up and down for you, but trips up and down those stairs throughout your stay will be under your own power. The hike up is worth it for the amenities, the quiet, and the additional space for your family.
*If you are interested in staying at an apartment at this hotel, book early. There are only two.
*These luxurious apartments must be rented for a minimum of three night stays
*Thinking of booking? Keep an eye on their website, this family friendly hotel often offers specials including offers to prepay and save 10% off your entire stay.
We enjoyed an incredible stay at The Hotel L’Orologio The service was exemplary, the location simply divine and all that extra space was extraordinary, especially in Venice.
We’re already dreaming of our return trip to the luxurious Hotel L’Orologio Venezia.

Wow – that looks perfect. We’ve been trying to look for non-traditional hotel rooms when we travel. We all sleep better if the 5 year old is in a different room! But booking two hotel rooms is out of the question.
