La Dolce Vita: Where the A-list stay for the Venice Film Festival
As the 79th Venice International Film Festival commences, Tatler’s Entertainment Editor provides the inside track as to where the smart set will be staying
‘Venice, its temples and palaces did seem like fabrics of enchantment piled to heaven,’ so said the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley back in the 18th century. And as the 2022 Venice Film Festival gets underway, his description could still be recited from the heart today by the celebrities drawn to the magnificence of the city, its wondrous canals and historical opulence.
The hotels and drinking establishments may have changed somewhat since Shelley’s day, but its cinematic backdrop has provided the most glamorous location for the A-List who have been visiting the world’s first film festival since 1932. Here, Tatler’s Entertainment Editor Danielle Lawler takes a gondola ride to the most grandioso hotels favoured by the rich and famous.
