Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Opened in late 2003, the hotel maintains the Veneto-Byzantine ambience created over several centuries when the 15th-century palazzo served as home to Turkish traders (mori) bringing goods from the Orient to the merchants of Venice. Travelers seeking lodging away from the crowds near attractions such as St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge find refuge in the hotel and its quiet neighborhood.
Amenity highlights: A reading room with scarlet plush-fabric seating features a balcony overlooking the canal in front of the hotel. Guests receive a complimentary cold buffet breakfast in a room with pale-green walls, walnut trim, and linen-draped tables or at umbrella tables in a courtyard. Sandwiches and cocktails are available in a bar with mirrored walls, walnut trim, plasma-screen television, and fresh flowers, with canalside tables set up in summer.
Insider tip: From this district of historical Venice, the island of Murano is a 15-minute waterbus ride away. Visitors can tour Murano's famed glass-making shops and see examples of glass artistry from the 15th century to the present displayed in the Museum of Glass.
Rooms
The Hotel ai Mori d'Oriente, Venice, offers 55 guestrooms in a three-story building with a pale-brick exterior, Byzantine pointed-arch windows on the second floor, classic Venetian bottle-glass windows on the second floor, brown shutters, and wrought-iron balconies with flower boxes.
Decorated in the Veneto-Byzantine style that flourished as Venice dominated trade with the East, rooms feature high ceilings with stucco moldings, damask wall coverings, floral-paper light shades, gilt-frame mirrors, and Byzantine pointed arches between entryways and bedrooms. Upholstered headboards have pointed arches. Color schemes vary, but all rooms include carpeting and walnut trim.
Contemporary tile bathrooms include heated towel racks, shower/tub combinations, and French toiletries by Etro. Each room contains a desk, a small dining table, and two chairs.

Recreation
The Lido of Venice, the slender, 11.5-km-long (7.25-mile) island facing the Adriatic Sea that lies a 30-minute waterbus ride from the hotel, is the city's playground, especially in summer when beaches and water sports draw visitors and Venetians. Year-round, visitors rent bicycles to explore the island, play golf, or take horseback rides. Aside from fishing in the canals, the central city offers little in the way of recreational opportunities. Deep-sea fishing is available in the Adriatic Sea.
