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
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.
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.
Located in a very central area close to the Rialto and Saint Mark's square, within easy reach by private water taxi and near to the main waterbus stations, this historical hotel is the perfect place to stay in the city centre but away from the hustle and bustle. Santa Lucia train station is located roughly 2 km from the hotel. Marco Polo International Airport is some 10 km away and Treviso Airport around 30 km.
Located in one of the last non touristy part of the city, the Palace belonged to one of the most important families of the Venetian nobility. The Ruzzini family moves here in 1586 after a big fire that destroyed their house in San Giovanni Crisostomo, by Rialto. The building has been closed for 20 years before it reopens in 2008 as a new hotel.
