Palazzo Venart
Venice
A luxury hotel in a 15th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a garden restaurant.
Venice is unlike any other city, and staying overnight – after the day-trippers have left – is the best way to feel it. Its small hotels occupy Gothic and Renaissance palazzi, many with private water entrances and gardens hidden behind high walls.
Where to stay
San Marco is central but busy. Dorsoduro, with its galleries and the Zattere waterfront, is calmer and more local. Cannaregio is the place for evening walks along quiet canals, and Castello for a glimpse of everyday Venetian life.
Good to know
Arrive by water taxi for the full effect. Winter brings fog, few crowds and occasional high water; spring and autumn are the loveliest seasons.
