Palazzo Giovanelli Hotel  

In Venice's Santa Croce, a 16th-century palace turned hotel sits right on the Grand Canal. You're minutes from Ca' d'Oro and Rialto Bridge, and just two vaporetto stops from St. Mark's Square. Canal-front location and easy water-taxi access put the city's sights at your feet.

Thirty-five individually decorated rooms blend original paintings, exposed wooden beams and elegant Italian furniture. Many rooms have balconies with Grand Canal views; others face a quiet inner garden. Rooms include air-conditioning, flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, Select Comfort beds with premium bedding, and bathrooms with designer toiletries and bidets.

Spend time in spacious lounges under Murano-glass chandeliers, browse the library, or sip at the bar and café. Wake up to canal light from garden or balcony rooms. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff, concierge and a tour desk can arrange water taxis and excursions. Shuttle options and a casino shuttle are available for a surcharge, and practical services include laundry, dry cleaning and an on-site ATM.

A business center, meeting rooms and a 441 sq ft (41 m²) conference/banquet space make events simple. Limo/town car service, express check-out and complimentary wireless high-speed internet support business stays.

Start with a varied buffet breakfast each morning. On-site options include a restaurant, café and bar/lounge, plus limited-hours room service and a daily complimentary reception to mingle before heading out.
