central luxury with good surprises

welcome prosecco cathedral view excellent cocktails
The check-in included a glass of prosecco, which i found to be a very nice touch. i got a room overlooking the patriarchal cathedral. It added a cultural feel to my stay. the ground-floor bar impressed me with its cocktails. I even considered becoming a cocktail critic after trying the japanese negroni (that's how good it was!).
the staff wasn't very helpful when i asked about local attractions, and they seemed uninterested in providing recommendations.
