Hotels Own Introduction
A Historic Gem Restored
After an exquisite restoration, Palazzo Venart – a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World – has emerged as one of Venice's most iconic 5-star hotels. Nestled in the enchanting Sestiere Santa Croce, this magical sanctuary has a rich history that dates back centuries, originally serving as the private residence known as Palazzo Bacchini delle Palme.
The Essence of Venice and Art
The soul of the palace is encapsulated in its name, a blend of ‘Venice’ and ‘Art’, embodying the charm and essence of this historic city, an emblem of world art since the Renaissance.
A Hidden Treasure
Tucked away in the heart of the ‘City on Water,’ Palazzo Venart is just a 10-minute stroll from the Rialto Bridge and away from the usual tourist paths. Guests can enjoy priceless treasures, including a picturesque garden with a private pier on the Grand Canal and the acclaimed Glam restaurant, the only establishment in Venice to hold two Michelin stars.
Exclusive Accommodations
Palazzo Venart also shares a charming inner courtyard with the new exclusive residential complex, Empress Theodora Apartments. Featuring four luxury apartments adjacent to the hotel entrance, this complex offers an ideal solution for short stays or medium- to long-term vacations for families or small groups looking to explore the authentic side of Venice, away from the typical tourist routes.
