Situated in Mira at a key point on the route between the nearby cities of Padua and Venice, this Mira Porte hotel overlooks the Brenta Riviera Canal, renowned for the richness of its artistic and architectural treasures, and for the famous palladian villas in the area. The 'Riviera dei dogi' has 43 rooms, each with air conditioning, minibar, colour T.V, telephone with direct dialling and en-suite bathroom with shower. The hotel's bar, private car park and attractive breakfast room add the finishing touches to its features, making it an ideal place for a pleasant, quiet stay for tourism or business purposes in a homely and comfortable atmosphere. From recently discovered historical records, it has been established that this Mira Porte hotel dates back to 1537. Initially planned as a weekend retreat for Contarini aristocratic family, towards the middle of the seventeenth century it was used as an inn, and retained this function until the end of the nineteenth century. It was during these years that the Hotel first began, initially under the name Hotel Cima. It was the first hotel on the Riviera del Brenta to offer a series of innovations which were to make it famous, even amongst the Venetian aristocracy, and it flourished until the end of the Second World War. Following the war, after a long period of neglect, conservative, expert restoration brought the building back to its original splendour, making the 'Riviera Dei Dogi' a hotel of unique style.
