During our last trip to Venice with Swatch to visit the Bienal of Venice we stayed in one of the most impressive hotels in town: the Excelsior. What makes this movie-like hotel in Lido unique, apart from its private beach, it is its arab-ish architecture.
Every single corner is full of details and make it one of the most photogenic hotels on Earth.
One of our fav parts was the interior patio -it made you travel to some other place, or even age.
