KING DELUXE ROOM

We were fortunate to get upgraded to the newly renovated King Deluxe Room. The decor in the room was quite impressive, the view of St.Mark Square, Hilton Molino Stucky and a couple of architectural cutouts are placed along the walls and inside of the cabinets.

The room has an extra-large king bed, and we were provided with complimentary Bellinis, water and the bath towels were made into 2 lovely swans.

Thank you to the Guest Relation Team! Ps. Every afternoon or evening, the housekeeping team would drop by some lovely chocolates on your bed. Therefore, it is always a surprise coming into the room and seeing it on your bed. AMAZING!
