The Grand Hotel des Bains is a former luxury hotel on the Lido of Venice in northern Italy.[1] Built in 1900 to attract wealthy tourists, it is remembered amongst other things for Thomas Mann's stay there in 1911, which inspired his novella Death in Venice. Luchino Visconti's film of the novella was shot there in 1971.
In 2010, the hotel was closed for a planned conversion into a luxury condominium apartment complex, the Residenze des Bains.[2] As of November 2019, the building is still awaiting renovation. A large fence surrounds it, with a guard employed inside.
