The hotel is worthy of its 5 stars other than one notable exception: the breakfast. I've had more selection and better presentation in youth hostels. Butter in the little aluminum packs, Nutella in the little plastic packs, only 2 types of cut fruits, no berries, choice of bread between hard, stone hard and chipped tooth. The vegetable omelet with every vegetable the kitchen has to offer consisted of egg (so far, so good), onion, onion, some more onion, a little onion, a lot of onion and to round it all off, onion. I'm not complaining about the onion here, it was good, just that the ratio of onion to other vegetables was too undefined. (pardon my math joke) --- Little tip: Having breakfast outside on the balcony watching the boats on the Canale Grande go up and down sounds like the perfect start to your romantic Italian vacation day, until the seagulls decide its their breakfast. And fair enough, while the breakfast isn't worthy of a 5 star hotel, its pretty decent bird food. So eat inside and then just take your coffee or glass of champagne outside after.
