The property offers 189 luxurious Louis XV style guest rooms and suites decorated with unique art and antiques.
The heart of the Grand Hotel and its main attraction is the 50,000 square-foot spa complex with 72 treatment rooms, thermal pools, a steam grotto, saunas, cold rooms, inhaling facilities, and fitness center.
The hotel draws visitors from all over the world, many coming year after year for long vacations to benefit from the curative Fango mud and the mineral waters.
Even if you can’t stay at the Grand Hotel for a week or more, a mini vacation of several days will do wonders to your body and soul.
The best way to make the most of the your spa experience is to begin with a thorough medical evaluation by the on site physician. Based on your examination the doctor recommends appropriate treatments and prepares detailed instructions for the spa therapists.
Start the day with the spa’s signature treatment, Fango, the hot mud rich in algae and other bio-agents. You lie on your back for 15 minutes in a thick layer of hot mud, wrapped in a special blanket. When you emerge from this warm cocoon, the therapist hoses you off and you soak for another 15 blissful minutes in a deep bath of hot mineral water. Upon he treatment’s completion you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
The spa also offers a large array of services from pampering massages to medical and anti-aging treatments, using specially formulated, proprietary products.
Make sure to spend some relaxing time at Spa Venezia, where you can immerse yourself in steam rooms, sauna, ice-cold rooms, and rain showers.
In between treatments, swim or just unwind at the three thermal pools, one indoor and two outdoor, each with a different water temperature.
The best way to enjoy a carefree vacation is to book the resort’s full meal plan. Breakfast features a large spread of cold cuts, cheeses, fresh pastries, home made jams, smoothies and freshly squeezed juices, along with typical American fare.
Lunch, offered at the Etoile Grill, pool side, or in the main dining room, consists of a delicious buffet of salads, appetizers, and a la carte dishes.
Dinner is served in Pietro d’Abano, a luxurious candlelit gourmet restaurant with white-glove service. It includes a sumptuous buffet spread of salads, antipasto, desserts, and fine a la carte selections.
