Hospitality Design - November 2009 - 75
venice city spotlight roger thomas’ venice Roger Thomas may call Las Vegas and Marin County, California, home, but he is a European at heart. We asked him to take us on a tour of one of his favorite cities to find out where to get the best Murano glass chandeliers, chocolate mousse gelato, and most importantly, inspiration. Because the lagoon provided superb protection, Venice has always been able to lavish its resources on the decoration of the city. As a result, the city is my favorite source of inspiration and retains its allure and magic, even on the hottest and most crowded summer days. The best time to visit is November or early May but my favorite time is January, well before Carnival when the tourists stay away and the crisp mornings are filled with lavender light. I go to Venice for the craftsmen. I design new and unique objects made the old way by the incomparable craftsmen. They’re trained in the centuries-old techniques that produced the interiors and luxury objects for which Venice has always been famed and frequented. Cips Club. The quasi side tables on the Guidecca have the best view of Venice. A Cipriani restaurant and fabulous at sunset. Hotel Cipriani & Palazzo Vendramin, Giudecca 10 Da Fiore. A wonderful evening walk from my hotel to the center of San Polo. It has a wonderful garden in which to dine. S. Polo 2202 Calle Del Scaleter Caffe Florian. It has not changed a bit since the 18th century. I go there for the sublime hot Ai Gondolieri. A meat restaurant near the Guggenheim. No fish (I’m allergic) and always fantastic. I ask for the table at the window and always start with the Fiore de Zucca. Dorsoduro 366 San Vio Millevoglie. The best gelato in all Venice. I go every night, behind the Frari next to Scuola San Rocco. Try the chocolate mousse gelato…evil. 3033/34, San Polo chocolate mid-winter when the tourists are gone. www.caffeflorian.com Eat Da Arturo. A tiny place near Camp Santo Stefano frequented by locals and arts cognoscenti. The tiramisu made the ancient way will make you swoon. Calle degli Assassini, San Marco 3656 From top: The Grand Canal view from the Westin Europa & Regina; a traditional Venetian mask. Shop Cavalier. Tucked into the side of La Chiesa San Vidal on the right as you go toward the Ponte della Academia is my favorite frame maker in Venice, from small ready-made examples to very large custom projects the father and son have created for me. They also carve and gild wood versions of the ubiquitous Venetian masks. In their hands they are Stay The Westin Europa & Regina. A superb location, the breakfast terrace on the Grand Canal has the best morning view of Santa Maria Della Salute in the city. I start each day with a sketch. www.westineuropareginavenice.com www.hdmag.com November 2009
