Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel, Venice is the perfect place to spend a weekend away. Tour the city and take in the sights of the floating city…
Palazzo Venart Venice
The hotel opened last summer and is comprised of just 18 rooms and suites, all fastidiously decorated to portray a unique aspect of Venetian history and culture. The hotel’s lovely garden opens directly onto the Grand Canal, and the 16th-century grounds and Palazzo have been carefully restored. Many of the original features are present in the interiors including renaissance frescoes and marble fireplaces. The hotel is also the home to the two Michelin-starred chef, Enrico Bartolini’s GLAM restaurant.
This new hotel has been finished to the highest degree of luxury, perfectly reflecting the Venitian aesthetic and cultural influences through the interiors.
Resting your head here, after a day of exploring all that Venice has to offer, wouldn’t be so bad…
