Housed in a 16th-century Venetian palazzo, this hotel marries history with refined elegance through period furnishings, an impressive antiques collection, and individually appointed rooms brimming with personality. Some guest rooms carry an Oriental allure heightened by the scent of burning incense. Rooms feature pillowtop beds dressed in Egyptian cotton and down comforters that invite genuine rest. Lagoon views face the island of San Giorgio, while Piazza San Marco lies a short walk away. Dining centers on the two-Michelin-starred Met Restaurant, where the chef crafts distinctive fusion menus against the backdrop of the Citrus Garden’s exotic palms. A spa and wellness center deliver massages, facials, and body treatments. The private water taxi landing stage connects guests directly to Venice’s waterways, making exploration seamless and unhurried.
