Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena, Venice, Italy

• Divine inspiration abounds: This Venetian hotel is housed in a former convent with a thousand-year history of hospitality. Named after the island on which it sits, Hotel Indigo Venice Sant'Elena retains many original features, blending seamlessly with stylish additions, like a glass-walled restaurant that overlooks an elegant green-lawned courtyard (previously the inner cloister). Here, you can meditate and reflect after a busy day of exploring Venice’s many marvels.

• Sanctuaries of artistic style: In keeping with the rest of the hotel's hip appearance, guestrooms are havens of ridiculously chic design and luxurious comfort galore, featuring refined art prints on the walls, creamy muted colour schemes, and comfy beds topped with leather headboards. Plenty of staple mod cons come as standard, from WI-Fi and air conditioning to a minibar, safe and 40-inch LCD TV with Chromecast.

• Wine and dine: As well as beautifully classic interiors exuding plenty of sophistication and charm, Savor Restaurant offers an a la carte menu, with delicious house specials that include the freshest of seafood and locally sourced, home-grown produce. Open Monday to Saturday from 7-10pm, it also offers light lunches on request, plus a sumptuous buffet spread for breakfast.
