Palazzo Sant'Angelo Hotel

A stunning gem of a hotel set on the world’s most prestigious waterway, Palazzo Sant’Angelo sul Canal Grande is superbly situated between the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square. Providing a convenient private wharf on the Grand Canal, a cosy bar and lounge, an intimate dining room and suitably ornate guest rooms, this is the perfect bolthole from which to enjoy this magnificent city.

Palazzo Sant’Angelo is a truly refined and sumptuous retreat with a warm ambience and friendly staff. Rooms and suites have silk wall coverings, ornate Venetian furniture and flowing fabrics in rich colours. The sitting room has an original Palladian floor and the bar and dining room are enriched with antique wood panelling. Several rooms have views of the Grand Canal and the Palazzo Pisani-Moretto opposite the hotel.

Following breakfast in the dining room, take a water taxi or vaporetto from outside the hotel to the Galleria dell’Accademia and then on to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection for a marvellous day of art appreciation. Return to Palazzo Sant’Angelo sul Canal Grande for an aperitif before dining in one of San Marco’s excellent restaurants.

Palazzo Sant'Angelo sul Canal Grande is a charming three-story house, part of the legacy of Venice and now a boutique hotel, magnificently restored and sumptuously furnished. The ornate sitting room even has its original Palladian floor and three great picture windows overlooking the classic beauty of the buildings across the canal.

In each of the 12 guest rooms and 14 suites you will find Carrara and Alpine marble bathrooms. But it is all right up to date: Jacuzzi bath tubs, entertainment centres and the latest high-speed PC and data connections. A really civilised place to be!
