Dorsoduro
A gorgeous Neo-Gothic palazzo directly on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere, with a terrace hovering over the canal surface, exposed stone interiors with antique furnishings, and a quieter, more residential location than the San Marco hotels.
Cannaregio
A magnificently frescoed 15th-century palace in the Cannaregio sestiere — away from the San Marco tourist intensity — with extraordinary Giambattista Tiepolo frescoes, a canal-side terrace, and the kind of authentic palazzo atmosphere that most Venice hotels merely aspire to.
San Polo
A 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal near the Ca' d'Oro, converted by Aman into 24 suites of understated Japanese-influenced luxury with frescoes by Tiepolo's studio, a garden courtyard, and the most refined service in Venice. For those to whom only absolute perfection will do.
A 15th-century Venetian palace directly on the Grand Canal, restored by The Luxury Collection with magnificent frescoed ceilings, a Club del Doge restaurant terrace literally on the water, and rooms of extraordinary Gothic and Renaissance grandeur. The most storied hotel address in Venice.
San Marco
Venice's most famous hotel since its 1822 opening in the 14th-century Dandolo palace adjacent to the Doge's Palace — a Gothic fantasia of gilded staircases, ornate salons, and Grand Canal views from the rooftop restaurant. An essential Venice experience even if you only come for a cocktail.
San Marco
A grand Gothic palazzo directly on the Grand Canal with one of the most dramatic lobby-to-canal views in the city, rooftop bar with panoramic San Marco Basin views, and rooms blending heavy Venetian damask with modern comfort.
