Palazzo Venart, 5* luxury hotel is in Santa Croce area, a magical place off the beaten path in the heart of traditional Venice. Fronted by its placid garden, which opens directly onto the Grand Canal, the stately 15th-century Palazzo and grounds have been carefully restored to their former grandeur. Entering through Palazzo Venart's splendid hallway is like opening a portal to another time and dimension. Each of its prestigious and fastidiously decorated rooms and suites is inspired by a noteworthy character or a unique aspect of Venetian history and culture. Palazzo Venart interiors are all individually designed with lavish decors and embellished with artworks, precious drapery, antiques, and custom furnishings, recalling the style and flair of the golden eighteenth century. Some rooms pride themselves with frescoes, others feature wonderful Venetian terrazzo flooring or silk covered walls with original marble fireplaces. Four rooms enjoy stunning panoramic Grand Canal views while on the top floor, some of the rooms have access to roof terraces. The general feel is luxe classic Venetian: rich color schemes, lush furnishings, and great attention to detail.
