Grand Hotel des Bains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Hotel des Bains is a hotel on the Lido of Venice. Built in 1900 as a way to attract wealthy tourists, it is remembered among other things for Thomas Mann's stay there in 1911 that inspired his novella Death in Venice (with Luchino Visconti's adaptation also using the location in his 1971 film).
Diaghilev died at the hotel in 1929.
Today the Hotel des Bains is also used by movie stars during the Venice Biennale.
