Hotel description
Il Palazzo Experimental is a boutique gem set in a historic Venetian palazzo along the Giudecca Canal. Inside, bold interiors by Dorothée Meilichzon pair velvet, terrazzo, and playful colour palettes with the building’s original character, creating a fresh yet timeless atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a peaceful courtyard garden, a canal-side restaurant serving Venetian classics with a twist, and one of the city’s most talked-about cocktail bars. With San Basilio on the doorstep and St. Mark’s Square just a short vaporetto ride away, it’s a stylish base for soaking up Venice’s art, history, and charm.

About the destination
Venice
Venice is a city unlike any other, where canals replace streets and centuries-old buildings rise directly from the water. In Dorsoduro, one of the city’s most characterful districts, quiet squares, art galleries, and local cafés create a more relaxed atmosphere away from the busiest tourist routes. Il Palazzo Experimental is set along the Giudecca Canal in this neighbourhood, placing you close to Venice’s cultural side while surrounded by its unmistakable waterside scenery.
