The Bauer hotel offering in Venice can be confusing and so lets try and clarify this here! The Bauer Hotel and Bauer Il Palazzo are two back to back hotels. The Bauer Hotel is the newer 1940s construction situated on San Moise surrounded by designer shops and adjacent to San Moise Church. To be clear none of the rooms in Bauer hotel have lagoon/grand canal views as this property sits behind the original Palace building which overlooks the lagoon. That said some rooms have a lovely view over looking the canal that runs alongside both hotels or overlooking the pretty square below, San Moise Church and the new Prada store. In addition to this the Bauer have an adjacent Casa Nova building, where the room rates are less. The Bauer Casa Nova and Bauer Hotel Guests can't use the roof top terrce for breakfast service. This is exclusive to Bauer Palazzo guests. There is also the Bauer Palladio property located across the lagoon on the isand of Giudecca.
