Participants in the Festival fly from New York to Venice, where a bus takes everyone to the hotel.

The Festival is held in the Alexander Palace Hotel (www.alexanderpalace.it), a four-star facility complete with 35 suites, 149 double rooms and 10 single rooms, two swimming pools (one boasting superb views of the city), and two restaurants, as well as a 1,000 seat auditorium for performances. The Hotel Terme Internazionale (www.termeinternazionale.it) is also nearby, offering guests a still-greater array of spa amenities, and can be booked for an additional fee.

Plans are currently being made for all flights and accommodations. Please be sure to check back for further information.
