Hotel Accomodations

You are free to chose your own hotel but I strongly recommend the Hotel Ai Mori d'Oriente. You can take a look at it at http://www.hotelaimoridoriente.it/

Why the Ai Mori? Because it is not only a beautifully decorated four star hotel (inside -- admittedly the outside doesn't look like much) but we have gotten a tremendous agreement with them thanks to Obscure2K, a good friend of the manager.

Deluxe double rooms there are quoted on their website as running from 250 Euros to 350 Euros per night in the offseason (that converts to $300 to $420.)

On various websites, like Hotels.com, there are special offers for the Ai Mori. Generally they are about $105-$130 for a standard room.

Obscure2K's friend advised her to have the Flyer Talkers search the net for the best price they can get for a standard room and make the reservation. They are then to send a letter to him at [email protected] and to put "Attention Marco Musco" in the subject line. In the letter, let him know what days you made the reservation for and that you are part of the FlyerTalk group. He will upgrade all FlyerTalkers to the superior rooms!

I suggest you make the reservations as early as possible. Each of these sites has a limited number of rooms available to it. (I took the last of the PlacesToStay rooms.) But be careful and make certain that you make your reservation at the Ai Mori d'Oriente (on Fondamenta della Sensa). There is also a place called Hotel Ai do Mori" near St. Marks.


Additionally, the hotel has arranged for a special shuttle (water taxi) which will take Flyer Talkers from the Ai Mori to the Rialto and St. Mark's Square.

Of course, if the discounted rooms run out you can make your reservation for the full price at the hotel website or -- as I would do -- look for another hotel. If you take a look at the discussion we had on the Delta Forum called "Venice Meet" you can find some good suggestions on where to stay.
