A flock of lacy black butterflies greets guests at this artsy retreat, tucked behind the Guggenheim. Art is liberally strewn about the six luxurious rooms in the main building and three in a nearby annexe. Some have views over Peggy Guggenheim's garden, with the San Marco campanile visible in the distance.
