…a short walk from Piazza San Marco.
Since first opening its doors in 1880, the Hotel Bauer Grünwald and Hotel Il Palazzo at the Bauer have set the standard for hospitality in Venice. Known for years as the Bauer-Gruenwald, the original hotel was a partnership between Mr. Bauer, the director of the Hotel de la Ville in Venice and the young Austrian Julius Gruenwald. The marriage of Julius Gruenwald and Mr. Bauer's daughter, firmly cemented the two men's partnership and established a Bauer tradition of family management that continues right down to the present day.
In the years 1942 to 1949 the eighteenth century "palazzo" on the Grand Canal, with an original seventeenth century facade in gothic style has been carefuly restorated and a complet new wing, today named Hotel Bauer, on the Campo San Moise has been built, designed in the architectural style of the day. When the Bauer reopened in 1949, it was the most up-to date hotel in Venice and the "Settimo Cielo", located on the seventh floor, was one of the highest outdoor terraces in Venice.
After a newly renovation, completed in late 1999, the Bauer has been reconceived as a property with two unique personalities: the Hotel Bauer, a luxurious five-star hotel is situated in the modern wing, and "Il Palazzo", an opulent and elegant hotel is located in the eighteenth-century palazzo.
