Independent Report

exterior
This is a gorgeous palace going back to the splendours of the 17th century, when Venice was at the peak of its wealth and power. The palace was actually the residence of one of the Dogi that ruled the city. It is a stunning palace made of white carved marble that goes up to 4 floors of Baroque style.
lobby
The lobby is modern with stunning Venetian chandeliers that make the environment quite elegant. There are beautiful Venetian floors that have been brought back to its original appearance.
general
Great property in ideal position with some original frescos still visible in the Royal Suite. The style of this hotel is just unique. The restoration works took a long time due to the fact that this is a registered property and the aim was to bring back one of the most beautiful and interested palaces in Europe in 1600. CQ 03/08
restaurant
There is a pretty Breakfast room and American Bar, furnished in modern design style.
rooms
The standard rooms are the smallest in size, as there are very spacious rooms at this hotel, but they are very cosy and well appointed. They are furnished in an elegant style that is the product of a fusion of traditional Venetian and modern style, which is the recurrent theme all around the hotel. Some of the rooms have got a very unique design, with the bathroom, like a cocoon in the middle of the room, and the furnishings arranged all around it. The bed is always positioned facing the windows and in the majority of the rooms there is a service corner with table and chairs. There are also deluxe rooms and jr suites offering wider spaces.
location
This beautiful hotel dominates the charming campo Santa Maria Formosa, one of the biggest Campi (squares) of Venice, equally distant both from San Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge, the biggest tourist sites of the city. The closest boat stops are San Zaccaria or Rialto. There is also a private pier at the hotel for access by water taxi. The area is full of life with its small local fresh food market and with its cafe' bars and restaurants. Some of the best restaurants are actually just nearby. The hotel overlooks also the famous Santa Maria Formosa Church.
