About Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel
Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel sits directly on the Fondamenta de la Sensa in Venice's Cannaregio district, where narrow waterways replace streets and centuries-old facades line the canal.
The hotel's position offers unobstructed views of the water and the rhythm of Venetian gondolas passing by throughout the day.
