NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa

Its industrial styling is the first giveaway—this hotel has taken up residence in the former De Majo glass-making factory, a brick building where the old furnace towers still stand. While exposed bricks and pipework serve as a constant reminder of the place's heritage, the overall feel is anything but shabby – NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa is decidedly modern and luxurious.

While you’ve got the restaurants of Murano at your fingertips, the hotel’s restaurant has an al fresco terrace overlooking the lagoon, a particularly tempting spot to savour some classic Italian dishes. When you’re ready to explore old town Venice, guests can book a private shuttle service through the hotel. When you return, a small but sophisticated wellness centre offers massage and treatments, complemented by a Turkish bath, sauna, aromatherapy shower and herbal tearoom.
