A typical, Venetian canal-front building with a renovated interior, the Hotel Olimpia is just 100 metres from Piazza de Roma, right in the historical centre. With soft, pastel colours and elaborately crafted furniture, the decor in the air-conditioned guestrooms imitates 18th century Venetian style. All rooms have direct-dial telephones, satellite television and minibars.

Guests can enjoy American-style buffet breakfasts in the dining room, or outside on the canal-side terrace while watching the gondolas glide past. Those preferring to take a break from city tourism can simply soak up the Venetian sunshine among the flowers and fruit trees in the garden, or kick back with a drink or cocktail and the daily papers in the lounge bar. Knowledgeable, multilingual staff can provide tourist information and local insights and the front desk is open round the clock and has a safe deposit box. Guests with cars will find garage parking in Piazza Roma, just 100 metres from the hotel. The hotel's central location makes it convenient for getting round most of the city's sights. Gondolas leave for St Marks Square from directly outside the hotel. The Rialto Bridge is within a kilometre and the Torcello museum is just 200 metres from the hotel. Marco Polo airport is about 10 kilometres away from central Venice. The ATVO runs between the arrivals terminal and Piazza Roma in central Venice, within 200 metres of the hotel. Alternatively, visitors can take a water taxi from the airport to the hotel entrance, which takes about 40 minutes.
