Palazzo Venart
Sixteenth-century swag
Sophisticated Santa Croce
Time withers all – but not Palazzo Venart, a 16th-century Venetian palace with a new lease of life. Marble furnishings, parquet flooring and antiques and artworks a-go-go woo guests’ eyes; a two-Michelin-star chef woos guests’ tummies. The hotel also boasts a prime Grand Canal perch – any closer and you’d be sleeping in it – instead, stay dry, bed down in one of the palazzo’s opulent rooms and spy on the Bride of the Sea in all her watery glory from your windows. Palazzo Venart doesn’t stint on charms for landlubbers, too: the gorgeous gardens (a real boon for Venice) for starters...

Our Favourite Rooms
The world’s first famous female author, Christine de Pizan, hailed from Venice; honour her memory by bedding down in the suite that shares her name. In addition to its feminist credentials, this suite has wooden wall panels, parquet flooring, swag-tastic furnishings and a cosy lounge with impressive views of the Grand Canal. For something with a more masculine heritage, opt for the Lord Byron Suite, which has a covetable parquet floor, walls clad in silk and plenty of secret thrills in store: a bath tub tucked away behind a partition by the bed, a hidden seating area where you can lounge (and read works by the famous poet, natch) and more…
Packing Tips
Forgiving waistbands for maximum bigoli-consumption.
Also
The hotel is suitable for wheelchair-users: there are lifts between communal areas and bedrooms, and two of the ground-floor Classic Rooms are step-free.
子供
Little Smiths are welcome; the hotel can lend parents cots or cribs, baby bedlinen, highchairs and booster seats. It’s a very glamorous, grown-up palazzo, better suited to adults, but the apartments give the Little Smiths a bit more space.

ドレスコード

Hotel Restaurant
Acclaimed chef Enrico Bartolini captains the helm at Palazzo Veneto’s two Michelin star Glam restaurant, set in a courtyard planted with fragrant magnolia trees and overlooking the Grand Canal. Glam by name, glam by nature; expect classic Venetian cuisine jazzed up with modern updates: spaghetti with smoked eel and wild fennel; fried moeche (soft-shell crab) served with artichokes and pink sauce; risotto with porcini and curry (reported to be delicious). Given it's rising reputation, we'd strongly recommend reserving in advance.
Last Orders
Breakfast is served till 10.30am. Glam Restaurant will be closed from 6 to 26 August 2025; during this period, the hotel's bistro will be serving lunch from 12.15pm–2.45pm, and dinner from 7.15pm–9.45pm.
Planes
Venice Marco Polo International Airport is 13km away, a 20-minute drive (www.veniceairport.it/en). Hotel transfers start from €120 each way; guests hop in a water-taxi that deposits them directly outside the hotel’s Grand Canal entrance. You could also fly into Treviso, which is a 40-minute drive away – hotel transfers from Treviso start from €150, one-way.
Trains
Venice Santa Lucia station is just one kilometre from the hotel, a 10-minute drive; there are high-speed connections to other Italian cities such as Rome, Bologna, Milan and Florence. You can easily walk from the station to Palazzo Venart, as long as you’re not weighed down with Imelda Marcos-style luggage.
Automobiles
The hotel is 800 metres away from the main Venetian carpark, which you can access from the SR11 road from Mestre, following signs to Venezia. Be warned: parking is eye-wateringly expensive (around €50 a day)
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
The hotel’s waterside perch makes it one of the most romantic places in the most romantic of cities. When/if you tire of unabashed romance, staff can arrange excursions to the local museums, the island of Murano (where you can learn about glass-blowing) and the historic Ghetto, the city’s original Jewish quarter. The city’s oldest bridge, the Rialto, is a short walk away, acting as a dividing line between San Marco and San Polo. Sip a bellini in Piazza San Marco, cruise in a gondola and marvel at the Palazzo Ducale. Titian is buried in 14th-century Frari Basilica in the Campo San Polo; two of his works still hang there. Sculpture-clad San Rocco is a Byzantine beauty with gilded ceilings, and Tintoretto’s brushwork adorns the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. In January and February, catch the pageantry of the Venice Carnival; modern-art maelstrom, the Venice Biennale, kicks off on 1 June (on odd-numbered years).
