Costruito sull'area dove esisteva la chiesa di un orfanotrofio (Antonio Vivaldi vi compose alcuni dei suoi brani più importanti), nel tardo 1800, divenne Pensione Kirsch (vi soggiornò Sigmund Freud nel 1985 ), oggi è seducente hotel a due passi da Piazza San Marco (per i pignoli: 488 metri lungo Riva degli Schiavoni). All'interno, vasti, raffinati saloni e intime salette, impreziositi dai tanti oggetti: lampadari dorati, orologi, specchi, cherubini bronzei e l'incredibile esposizione di più di 2.000 antichi pezzi tra strumenti musicali, apribottiglie, schiaccianoci, l'immensa collezione di crocefissi e, nelle luminose sale per la prima colazione, la collezione dei ventagli e delle teiere. Particolare il ristorante, il "Met" dove spesso si organizzano feste a tema; nel periodo estivo, si trasferisce nel delizioso giardino veneziano. Le camere si affacciano sulla laguna, o sul piccolo canale laterale o sul giardino; differenti per dimensione e stile, tutte sono arredate con mobili d'epoca, senza per questo rinunciare alle attrezzature più moderne.

This hotel, in a Venetian palace, is located on the magnificent Riva degli Schiavoni. Furnished in classic, Venetian style, every room is unique and offers a range of comforts. There is also an interior garden, which serves as a restaurant in the summer months. Do not miss the owner's disparate collection of corkscrews, crucifixes and nutcrackers. The Beggiato family, who have managed the Hotel since 1970, skilfully knew how to treasure the history of the building, preserving the structural elements and decorations of the past and creating a welcoming and evocative atmosphere. The style of decoration and fittings verify this, from the restaurant room the "Met" where everything is a reminder of music: between the beautiful original columns of the chapel, musical instruments from different ages are exhibited. The harmonious notes continue through to the adjoining Venetian lounge, with its warm red velvets which are reflected in the antique mirrors, and from there to the windows in the direction of the Bacino san Marco. The love for art, for antiquities and for beautiful items, has always distinguished the Beggiato family. Notable family collections appear, resplendent in the showcases of the hotel: from differing ages, recuperated with a patient and competent work of visiting cards to that of corkscrews. Unusual displays of antiquities from different ages, recuperated with a patient and competent work of research by the Beggiato family, have created a refined, subtle and nostalgic atmosphere that is not out place with the air of a "Reserche of lost time". The collection of precious fans from the last century decorate the lovely luminous breakfast room that is adjacent to the garden. Moreover, Proust was also a famous guest of this Hotel.
