It may be a little distance from central Venice, but the Hungaria Palace Hotel on the Lido’s main street is well worth the hike. With a façade composed entirely of seashells from the nearby Adriatic coastline, the hotel is one of the island’s few tourist attractions of its own. Inside, the beds are springy, the furniture is period and the carefully maintained atmosphere is one of decadent dilapidation. Book early as the Agatha Christie fans make a beeline in early spring.
