This stunning hotel has already received accolades from the press as well as guests and visitors. Located on the Grand Canal with a spectacular view of St. Mark’s, the Venetian Gothic-syle palazzo holds a surprise for all who enter its portals. It is a vision in contrast with the ancient and beautiful exterior against a very bright and modern interior. Colors are strong and striking with beautiful, unique features like the leather bar and glass reception desk. The lobby offers plenty of space for guests to lounge, enjoy a cocktail or watch the constantly changing scene on the Grand Canal. The bar - located adjacent to the lobby - opens onto the restaurant with its all white interior and seating on the Grand Canal during warm weather. Service is attentive and efficient.

The rooms and suites are drop dead gorgeous for those looking for a less traditional feeling in Venice. Bold colors, glittering gold bathrooms and novel furniture arrangements are an unanticipated pleasure. All rooms are different in color and décor. With its wall of windows overlooking the Grand Canal, the huge two-bedroom Presidential Suite is done in bold reds with large light-filled rooms and contemporary decor. One very special Deluxe Junior Suite with original fireplace and ceiling features a Grand Canal view and a corner view of St. Mark’s. Even the double rooms feel well sized for such a prime location and historical building!
