EDITORS COMMENTS
Grand Hotel d'Italie - Bauer-Grunwald, a historic and iconic landmark nestled along the enchanting canals of Venice, Italy. Circa 1909, this exquisite print captures the grandeur and elegance of the hotel in its early days. The Venetian architectural masterpiece, with its intricate balconies and ornate façade, stands proudly on the canal's edge, reflecting the shimmering waters and the vibrant hues of the Italian flag. The hotel, then known as Hotel Bauer, was founded by the visionary Jules Grunwald, who transformed an old Venetian palazzo into a world-renowned establishment. The establishment became a favorite among the European elite and artists, including the famous Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, who often stayed here. During the tumultuous years of World War II, the Grand Hotel d'Italie served as the headquarters for German officers, a stark contrast to its previous glamorous reputation. Despite this, the hotel managed to maintain its charm and character, and post-war, it was once again restored to its former grandeur. Today, the hotel continues to be a beacon of Venetian hospitality, offering its guests an unforgettable experience, with its renowned restaurant, stunning views, and rich history. The Grand Hotel d'Italie remains a testament to the enduring allure of Venice and the timeless beauty of the Bauer-Grunwald legacy.
