Escape the family get-together (or take the fam with you) to the fabled city of Venice, where you’ll lose yourself in its sparkling perfection. The uber-luxury palaces, Bauer Hotel and Bauer Il Palazzo, have put together an excellent package deal which includes one complimentary night, a five-course Thanksgiving feast, piano concert, and full buffet breakfast daily. Valid from November 22- November 25, 2007, the Venice Thanksgiving Getaway starts at EUR 1,740 per room for a four-night stay at the Bauer Il Palazzo. For a suite at the legendary Bauer Hotel, which has its own private dock on a small canal, the getaway is priced from EUR 2,160 per room.

PS. Check into the spellbinding Bauer Il Palazzo, one of the year’s hottest new hotels located on the exclusive island of Giudecca, and buzz around to Venice’s other islands in a solar-powered boat.
