Designed to offer a trademark stay, Rosewood Venice will be found in the bustling Cannaregio neighbourhood, housed within the magnificent 15th century Palazzo Dona’ Giovannelli and located near many of the city’s most legendary landmarks – including the Strada Nova, Piazza San Marco, Basilica di San Marco, and Palazzo Ducale. Constructed in the mid-1400s by Filippo Calendario, the master architect of the stunning Palazzo Ducale, the Palazzo Dona’ Giovannelli is steeped in history, having served as the home of the Duke of Urbino as well as the venue for his son’s wedding to Princess Vittoria Farnese. Designed to preserve the building’s stunning original detailing and rich heritage while offering refined and modern amenities, the Italian getaway will feature 50 rooms and suites inspired by the palace’s rich history, as well as stunning water views due to its dual canal frontage.

The hotel’s dramatic main entrance on the Rio di Noale is an incredible gothic feature that provides convenient water access to the first internal courtyard. The building’s main floor is richly adorned with breathtaking frescos, stuccos, and coffered ceilings as well as magnificent fireplaces and tapestries. A defining feature of the property are two walled courtyards, a rarity in Venice, which will offer an inviting outdoor space for dining and relaxing. For the foodies, two signature dining venues are bound to delight, including a charming piano bar.  Additionally, the hotel will include the brand’s renowned Sense, A Rosewood Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and extensive meetings and events space.
