In a city spilling over with romantic addresses, the boutique, 5-star, luxury Palazzo Venart in Venice, Italy, offers visitors a newly renovated choice. Once lying in ruins, the property has undergone an extensive two-year restoration overseen by Venetian art historians. The building’s original frescoes dating to the 1800s once again adorn ceilings and walls in resplendent colors, with original tempera fresco paintings showing scenes of long-ago social gatherings. Rooms are filled with silks and brocades, chandeliers and lovely Venetian furnishings.

Palazzo Venart

Each of the 18 guestrooms and suites bears a familiar name from the city’s rich history, including Marco Polo, Lord Byron, Casanova, Titian, Murano and Dandolo. For dining, there’s the two-Michelin-starred Ristorante Glam overlooking the Grand Canal and the hotel’s inner courtyard. Under the direction of Enrico Bartolini, the menu features contemporary Italian dishes. Palazzo Venart is part of the LDC Italian Hotels collection, with spectacular properties in some of Italy’s most-loved cities. The brand’s acronym, LDC, stands for Luxury, Dreams and Culture, and that’s the experience guests can definitely expect.

For Peripatetic Professionals, the Whole Planet Becomes One Big Office Space

It’s about 1 p.m. Central European Time on a Thursday, and I'm riding on a boat off the coast of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second-largest city, scouting for seals basking in the sun on the rocky outcroppings that dot the sea. Thanks to my captain, who lived all his life on one of the islands of the Gothenburg archipelago, we find them quickly, delighted to watch them move, play and hop in and out of the water. By 4 p.m. I am back at my virtual office, ready to start my business day just as most of my North American clients are coming online.

Explore the Historic Enclaves of Poland’s Baltic City

As one would expect for a city dating to the 10th century, the history of Gdańsk, Poland, played a significant role in trade and commerce due to its strategic location on the Baltic Sea. In the late Middle Ages, Gdańsk became an important harbor and was part of the Teutonic State (1308–1457). Heavily impacted by World War II, today the city thrives as an important economic and cultural center ... although, unfortunately, it’s often overlooked by North American leisure tourists.
