Italy, here I come!

Dating back to the time of the Knights Templar, this landmark hotel is VIP Venice at its best, complete with its own private jetty on the Grand Canal.

Escape to a bygone era at this hotel housed in the Antica Torre Tornabuoni, a restored tower-house first built by the Guelph Ruggerini family in the mid-13th century.

We picked five ancient religious complexes in the Tuscan countryside for a different stay, filled with mystical charm.

Set on Giudecca Island, this 379-room hotel is welcoming and spacious — a calm anchoring point just 15 minutes from St. Mark’s Square via the hotel’s shuttle boat.
