Hyatt Centric Murano Venice

Murano has spent the better part of a millennium perfecting glass, and this hotel wears that heritage rather than gesturing at it. Set inside a former glass furnace, it's the first property of its kind on the island, with hand-blown Venini lamps, Barbini mirrors and locally crafted textures running through all 119 rooms, including 31 duplex suites. The best of them look straight onto the Canal Grande di Murano, and a permanent exhibition of island artists' work threads through the public spaces, so the craft never really lets up.Dining follows the same instinct: Osteriva serves Venetian dishes inside a light-filled bioclimatic greenhouse, Rivalonga Bar keeps things going waterside, and Spritz & Fitz handles cocktails. A small wellness area with sauna and hammam, a fitness room, and a concierge team on hand for local recommendations round things out, all in a setting quieter and more considered than central Venice.
