Located on the island of Murano, the 138 room hotel was once the Casino Mocenigo and has direct frontage to the Venetian lagoon.

Milan-based architecture and design studio Matteo Thun & Partners are in charge of bringing the building out of the 1600s. One of the stand out features they will work on is the courtyard which will showcase the outdoor swimming pool and garden as well as inviting outdoor dining spaces.

There will be two restaurants serving a selection of cuisines and a cooking school where guests can learn the art of fine Italian cuisine. Alfresco bars, one of which will be located on the rooftop, will set the scene for social celebrations, large and small.

Also featured at the hotel will be the group’s signature Chuan Spa offering wellness therapies and treatments based on the ancient healing philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM,) a fully-equipped fitness centre, an elegant ballroom, and multifunction rooms.
