DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Often called a “Venetian fantasy”, the 5-star Bauer Palazzo is located on the Grand Canal, less than a minute away from San Marco and the city’s designer shops. The hotel is housed in a restored 18th century palazzo. On one of its sides, the world’s most famous waterway meanders into the distance. On the other, all of Venice unfolds in front of you.
The hotel’s spacious 135 rooms and 56 suites combine a contemporary Venetian style with distinctive art deco touches. This continues in the Settimo Cielo, a breakfast terrace with breathtaking city views, De Pisis, the hotel’s canal-side Mediterranean-Asian gourmet restaurant and Bar Canale, its cosy cocktail bar.
For the health-conscious, there’s a scenic jacuzzi on the roof and a well-equipped fitness room with a personal trainer. Plus you’ll have access to the spa, sauna, Turkish bath and massage tables of Giudecca Island, the Palazzo’s sister hotel.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL
- Its location. As well as city’s best theatres, galleries and concert halls, the Palazzo is on the doorstep of iconic Venice: San Marco, the Doge’s Palace and the Campanile. The Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, the architect Palladio’s favourite building, is minutes away.
- Its timeless quality. Arched lancet windows and a gothic façade house sumptuous, quintessentially Venetian décor. Finely embroidered Rubelli fabrics, gilded mirrors and stucco ceilings all help create the Palazzo’s signature style.
- Its impeccable service. The hotel’s Golden Key concierge service ensures no guest needs are overlooked and a stay here can be as personalized as you wish.

The hotel’s rooms and suites are in a contemporary Venetian style that complements the city’s past: the bathrooms are in marble; the chandeliers in Murano glass. Space and privacy are constant themes throughout, with many rooms benefiting from private balconies or terraces with views of the Church of San Moise. Whether you are travelling alone, with a family or a larger party, luxury is assured thanks to a range of accommodation that culminates in the Royal Suite. Set over 1000 sq ft with original Renaissance stuccoes, Terrazzo floors and a terrace overlooking the Grand Canal and Venice Basin, this can back its claim to be the best hotel suite in the city.
