The Bar/Lounge at Sina Palazzo Sant'Angelo

"Common areas include an entrance hall with elegant marble flooring, a bright front lounge, and an intimate bar facing the Grand Canal"

"Rooms overlooking the Grand Canal cost a lot extra; instead, watch the gondolas drift by from the sitting room and bar area"

"There's a bar and cafe with canal views; breakfast is included, and although there's no full restaurant, the surrounding area is filled with eateries"

"A lovely little fireplace lounge (the hearth has been sealed up long ago to prevent use) overlooks the canal, and the hotel's end-of-the-road location provides guests with an unusual level of privacy for Venice"
