“Death In Venice” Hotel Closes
The Guardian reports: ‘It was one of the most elegant hotels in the world, the setting for Thomas Mann‘s “Death in Venice” and the residence of choice for Hollywood stars from Clark Gable to Keira Knightley. But Venice Lido’s Grand Hôtel des Bains is no more after quietly closing its doors several months ago – to be reopened as a luxury apartment complex next year.’
