Breakfast includes pastries, local cheeses, cured meats, fruit, yoghurt, smoked salmon and eggs.
A hotel on the Lido
Ausonia Hungaria stands on Granviale Santa Maria Elisabetta, a short walk from the vaporetto stop and about 250 metres from the beach. The hotel opened in 1907 as the Hungaria Palace Hotel. Architect Nicolo Piamonte designed its neo-Renaissance exterior, while the interiors drew on Art Nouveau and Liberty styles.
Today, the building combines its historic character with modern rooms. The hotel has a restaurant, a winter garden, two bars and an outdoor pool. Its rooftop bar is a separate draw for a drink with views over the lagoon and Venice.
Breakfast and wellness
Breakfast is served in a sun lounge overlooking the garden. The spread includes freshly baked pastries, local cheeses and cured meats, seasonal fruit, yoghurt, smoked salmon and eggs, with freshly squeezed orange juice. The menu is set and has limited options, so guests with particular dietary needs can plan for a nearby cafe instead.
The Lanna Gaia wellness centre has a sauna, a Turkish bath and massage treatments. Ask about booking procedures on arrival to check availability. Gym hours may not suit an early workout, so check the schedule before you plan to use it.
