Londra Bar

Venice


There may be flocks of tourists outside, but the Londra Palace is a haven of serenity and its sleek bar, decked out in wood and white leather, is like a 1st-class cabin of an ocean liner. Furthermore, master mixologist Marino Lucchetti makes inspired cocktails and the bar is popular with locals who come for regular concerts and book launches.
