venice, italy

How to spend the perfect three-day trip.

Venice, Italy has been the city that I grew up with

The hotel was opened in 2023 in a converted 1940s bank building. It features 74 guest rooms, 17 suites, and includes their iconic ‘ANIMA’ restaurant, ‘JADE BAR’, ‘PUNCH ROOM’, and stunning rooftop.

Venice, Italy has always been monumental in my life. My parents, whom lived in Vicenza, a city just outside of Venice (I talk about this later), had always brought my brother and I for as long as I can remember. This tiny manmade Italian island was what made my parents fall in love with this beauty country, and eventually led me to studying here. I have a lot to owe to Venice.

The beauty of going to an international university is meeting and befriending people all around the world. This past Thanksgiving, I was able to not only to spend this American holiday with them, but also bring them to my favorite spots I grew up going to.

To the right of reception, there is The Jade Room, a space filled with deep green velvet furniture, green marble accents, and a soft glow that makes it one of the most inviting rooms in the city.
